Boston, June 11.  Extract of a letter from Berkley, (in this
province), dated the 24th inst.
We have had a very threatening alarm on the 10th of this
month, about ten o'clock in the forenoon, which arose from
the north west, and proceeded to the south east.  The noise
resembled the regular discharge of three small cannon; after
which, a sound was heard like the beating of a number of
drums , which continued for the space of six minutes, near
as I can judge.  I am inform'd the same was heard through
great part of the country."
