Boston, May 18.  Tuesday night some villanous person or
persons went into the New South Meeting-House, where they
cut and destroyed a number of cushions, Psalm-books, and a
large Bible; they did considerable other damage, and left
such other marks of impious behaviour, as will brand the
perpetrators with lasting infamy.  A reward of ten pounds
sterling is offered by the proprietors of said meeting to
any who will [   ] perpetrators of so horrid an impiety.
