Boston. Nov. 28. Yesterday was observed here as a day of
general Thanksgiving. On this occasion large collections
were made in most of the churches in town for the relief of
the poor and indigent, to enable them the better to provide
against the inclemency of the approaching season. At the
close of divine service, several of the assemblies were
entertained with a number of anthems, which were well
adapted to the religious festival, and sung to general
acceptance.
