To be seen at the house of John Baker, two doors above the
sign of the Ship, the upward end of Second Street, every
evening after 6 o'clock.  Wherein, among other curiosities,
are eight bells truly, both round-ringing and changes, much
in imitation of ringing in England; with two young men and a
lady walking, and the lady turning head over heels like a
mounty bank, and the clock drawing a curtain.  Also a tower
and steeple, much like that in Bristol in England, with
eight bells and eight men ringing, round ringing and
changes.   And an image that blows a bellows, strikes fire,
lights a candle, and fires a gun.  Price, men four pence,
women three pence, and children two pence.  The like never
before seen in these parts.
