About 10 o'clock, the scholars of the several public schools in town, to the number of two or three hundred, proceeded into State Street, where they testified their respect for the day, on which was born the Deliverer of their Country, by repeated huzzas; after which they returned to their several schools. On Monday the day was celebrated as usual, at Milton; when and where were conspicuous, that joy, conviviality and true decorum which the remembrance of the virtues of the illustrious American Cincinnatus, must ever diffuse in the breasts of freemen.
