Boston, May 3. Journal of Occurrences, continued. Last
Lord's Day some assemblies in this town, were greatly
disturbed during Divine Service, by the rattling of drums
and play of the fifes.--A party of soldiers with those noisy
instruments passed one of those assemblies twice in the
space of half an hour: As there has been lately no
disturbances of this sort in the time of service, it is to
be hoped, that this behaviour was accidental, and rather
owing to the inattention or wildness of the officer who
commanded the party, that to a design of again bringing up
the practice.
