The New Hampshire Gazette And Historical Chronicle

On Friday last the 18th Instant being the Anniversary of the Repeal of the Stamp-Act, a numerous Company of the principal Merchants and other respectable Inhabitants of this City, Friends to Constitutional Liberty and Trade, assembled at Mr. Jones's and Mr. Bardin's Taverns, which are nearly adjoining, where Union Flags were displayed and elegant Entertainments provided.-- When the Company had Dined, by common Consent the Remains of the Entertainment were sent to the poor Prisoners in the Goal, with a suitable Quantity of Liquor, and some of the Company voluntarily attended, to see it properly distributed. After Dinner 21 loyal and patriotic Healths were drank, among which the ingenious FARMER was Toasted.--A Band of Musick was provided, and in the Evening some curious Fireworks were played off for the Entertainment of the Company. Every Thing was conducted with proper Decorum, Ease and good Humour, and the Evening was spent in Harmony, Cheerfulness, and a pleasing Flow of social Affections.
