Boston, March 31. We are informed from North-Kingston, that
last Friday, eleven neighbouring young ladies met together,
at the house of John Congdon, Esq; in that town, upon a
spinning match; where they began to spin about sun-rise, and
spun about forty six fifteen knotted skeins of good linen
yarn, and left off about five in the afternoon of said day;
when about as many young gentlemen, as there were ladies,
came to said house, and opened a fine ball, as a recompence
to the ladies, for their industry.
