Piscataway, October 30, 1759. On Friday last was a day of
public rejoicing here for the success of his Majesty's arms
in the reduction of Quebec. There was the greatest
concourse of people assembled upon the occasion that was
ever seen at one time in this place: Upwards of fifty
gentlemen and ladies dined in a most elegant manner, and
many loyal and patriot toasts were drank. At night the town
was illuminated, and a ball given at Mrs. Plasay's, at which
the ladies made a brilliant appearance.
