[Boston. Journal of Occurrences, continued] March 22.  A
mock procession is now talked of for this day, with great
seriousness; the following is some account of their order:--
Marrow-bones and cleavers muffled, two and two, to beat the
dead march in Saul; 132 Essex calves, two and two; the
address, carried by two men dressed in raw calve-skins: a
train of chimney-sweepers upon jack-asses, two and two, as
chief mourners, to close the procession.
