Boston, March 7. . . Tuesday last being the anniversary of
the melancholy 5th of March, 1770, when Mess. Gray,
Maverick, Caldwell, Carr and Attucks, were killed by a party
of soldiers in King street, the bells of the several
congregational meeting houses were tolled from twelve
o'clock at noon till one. . . [20 lines describing
exhibition at the house of Paul Revere] At nine o'clock the
bells tolled a doleful peal, until ten, when the exhibition
was withdrawn, and the people all retired to their
respective habitations.
