Extract of a letter from Newbury Port, March 15.  On the
evening of the 5th instant [the anniversary of the Boston
Massacre], the several bells here were tolled from 7 o'clock
to 9, and two drums muffled were beat through the streets,
and a number of young persons followed in procession, with
as much solemnity as if they had been attending a funeral. 
I imagine considerable improvements will be made another
year on this procedure.
