Sandwich, May 29.  This day being set apart for public
rejoicings on account of the total repeal of the Stamp-Act,
the day was ushered in with ringing the bell on the church,
firing of guns and beating of drums, and in the evening a
number of houses of the principal gentlemen in the town were
handsomely illuminated, a large bonfire made, and many other
expressions of joy were shown as became a free and loyal
people.
