Worcester [England], May 12. On the thanksgiving day, at a
parish church in this county, where there was a great deal
of ringing, each of the bells were half muffled, so that the
musick they afforded was alternately chearful and dolorous.
The minister sending to know the reason of it, the ringers
returned their answer, that it was to express not only their
joy on account of the peace, but also their great sorrow and
concern at the late woeful tax on cyder and perry.
