Boston, March 7. Tuesday last, being the anniversary of the
melancholy Fifth of March, 1770, when Mess. Gray, Maverick,
Caldwell, Carr, and Attucks, were killed by a party of
soldiers in King_street:-- the bells of the several
Congregational meeting-houses were tolled from XII o'clock
at noon till 1.
. . . [23 lines follow on the exhibition depicting the
event]
At nine o'clock the bells tolled a doleful peal until ten,
when the exhibition was withdrawn, and the people all
retired to their respective habitations.
