[A 4.5-column piece on the soldiers cutting down the Liberty
Pole, and the subsequent riots] A soldier standing to the
right of Mr. Sears, drew his bayonet; upon which the latter
took a rams horn, and threw it at the former, which struck
him in the head, and then the soldiers, except the two that
were seized, made off and alarmed others in the barracks.
