The New Hampshire Gazette And Historical Chronicle

A Paragraph from a Correspondent. "A certain reputable public spirited Farmer in Bucks-County, considering that there will always be Importers of English Goods, while there are Buyers, has come to a Resolution not to purchase any Article of Cloathing for his Family, of British Manufacture, until the Revenue Acts are repealed; and has given an extraordinary Proof of his Zeal and Industry; well worthy of Imitation, viz. Having a Parcel of Woolen Yarn in his House, he has determined to exert himself immediately to cloath his Family in Linsey-woolsey, thinking it would be more to their Credit than the most gaudy Attire of Foreign Manufacture; he accordingly took up his Flax on the 2d Day of the Week, (and with the Assistance of his Family) broke some of it, swingled, hatchelled and spun it, then wove the Cloth, and had it made into Garments, and six of his Family were dressed therein, on the next first Day after."
