Extract of a letter from Exeter, May 7. On the thanksgiving
day here, scarcely three of the churches out of fourteen had
their bells ringing; and over most of the church doors hung
apples dressed up in crape, with this inscription; "Excise
the first fruits of peace." . . . [Description of
procession objecting to "excise and the devil"]
