Boston, February 13, 1760.

Whereas ſundry evil minded Perſons in ſome of the neighbouring Towns, to diſcourage the Market-People coming into this Town with their Proviſions, and that they may have an Opportunity to purchaſe at low Rates, and ſell them here at an exorbitant Price, have induſtriously reported that the Small-Pox for ſome Time paſt has been in this Town, and now prevails here:

THESE are to Inform the Public, that for near two Years paſt, there has been only one Perſon taken down in this Town with the Small-Pox, which is upwards of a Month paſt, who upon diſcovery of it was immediately removed to the Hospital, and there died, and no other Perſon has had it, or any Symptoms of it ſince.—That Yeſterday there was a general Viſitation of the Town by the Juſtices of the Peace, Selectmen and Overſeers of the Poor, and upon their Report laſt Evening of the State and Circumſtances of the Inhabitants, I hereby Certify that there is not an Infectious Diſtemper of any Sort, known to be in Town.—And as the above falſe Reports have been Propagated[Pg 6] to the great Prejudice of this Town by thoſe who employ themſelves in Engroſſing Proviſions and Foreſtalling the Market, (many of whom are known to the Selectmen:) They are hereby particularly Notified, That unless they deſiſt from ſuch wicked and abuſive Practices, they will be proſecuted on the Act of the Province, for making and publiſhing ſuch Lyes and falſe Reports.——By Order of the Selectmen,

Ezekiel Goldthwait, Town Clerk.

Many Country-People have imagined by ſeeing Silks hanging on Poles, that the Small-Pox is in ſuch Houſes; but their Surmiſes are entirely groundleſs, they being hung out at the Silk Dyers for drying.

The Committee of Tradeſmen hereby adviſe their Conſtituents and others to ſet apart a decent Portion of Time (at leaſt one Hour) previous to the Opening of the Town-Meeting To-Morrow to ſhift[Pg 7] themſelves and put on their Sabbath Day Clothes, alſo to waſh their Hands and Faces, that they may appear neat and cleanly; Inaſmuch as it hath been reported to ſaid Committee of Tradeſmen that Votes are to be GIVEN AWAY by the delicate Hands of the New and Grand Corcas; and they would have no Offence given to Turk or Jew, much leſs to Gentlemen who attend upon so charitable a deſign.—Nothing of the leaſt Significancy was tranſacted at a late Meeting of the ſaid new and grand Corcas to require any further Attention of ſaid Committee.

To the Young Ladies of Boston.

And as thoſe arts above mentioned (the Flowers excepted) are entirely unknown on the Continent, ſhe flatters herſelf to meet with all due encouragement; and more so, as every Lady may have a power of ſerving herſelf of what ſhe is now obliged to ſend to England for, as the whole proceſs is attended with little or no expence. The Conditions are Five Dollars at entrance, to be confin'd to no particular hours or time: And if they apply conſtant, may be compleat in ſix weeks. And when ſhe has fifty ſubſcribers, ſchool will be open'd, as not being deſigned to open a ſchool under that number, her propoſals being to each perſon ſo eaſy, but to return to thoſe who have ſubſcrib'd their money again, and keep the buſineſs to herſelf.

N.B. Feather Muffs and Tippets to be had; and Gauze waſh'd to look as well as new.

Pleaſe to inquire at Mr. Courtney's, Taylor, four Doors below the Mill-Bridge, North-End.

A PROCLAMATION.

Whereas certain Persons, who remain hitherto undiscovered, have of late committed great Disorders in the Night-Time, within several Towns in this Province, and particularly have broke the Windows of some Meeting Houses, and of the Dwelling-Houses of several Persons, by flinging thereinto great Stones and Bricks, thereby indangering the Lives of the Inhabitants, as well as injuring their Houses, against the Peace of our Sovereign Lord the King, and in Contempt of his Laws:

I have therefore thought fit, with the Advice of His Majeſty's Council, to iſſue this Proclamation, requiring all Juſtices of the Peace, Sheriffs, Conſtables, and all other Officers whom it may concern, and alſo recommending it to all other His Majeſty's good Subjects within this Province, to uſe their utmoſt Endeavours for diſcovering and bringing to Juſtice all[Pg 15] Perſons concerned in ſuch diſorderly and riotous Practices.

And I do hereby promiſe, that whoſoever ſhall diſcover and detect all or any of the Perſons concerned therein, ſo that they or any of them may be lawfully convicted of any ſuch Offences, ſhall receive out of the Public Treaſury of this Province the Sum of TEN POUNDS Lawful Money, as a Reward to be paid upon the Conviction of ſuch Offender or Offenders.

GIVEN at the Council-Chamber in Boſton, the Seventh Day of July, 1761, in the First Year of the Reign of our Sovereign Lord GEORGE the Third, by the Grace of GOD, of Great-Britain, France, and Ireland, KING, Defender of the Faith, &c.

Fr. Bernard.

By His Excellency's Command,
            A. Oliver, Secr.
                        GOD Save the KING.

WHEREAS it has been falsely reported by some ill minded litigious Persons that I, the Subscriber, was run away, THIS is to inform[Pg 16] the Public, and especially those that it doth concern, That I have been no further than Philadelphia, a Trading, with a Design to return Home in about two Months, but return'd Home one Week sooner; and be it KNOWN notwithstanding all the false Reports about me, I am to be spoke with at my Dwelling-House at the North End, or upon 'Change, every Day in the Week.

Salem, May 30, 1775.

Whereas we the Subſcribers did ſome time ſince ſign an Addreſs to Governor Hutchinſon, which, though prompted to by the beſt Intentions, has nevertheleſs given great Offence to our Country; We do now declare that we were ſo far from deſigning by that Action to ſhow our Acquieſcence in thoſe Acts of Parliament so univerſally and juſtly odious to all America, that on the contrary we hoped we might in that Way contribute to their Repeal, though now to our ſorrow we find ourſelves miſtaken.—And we do now further declare that we never intended the Offenſe which this Addreſs has occaſioned, that if we had foreſeen ſuch an Event, we ſhould never have ſigned it; as it always has been and now is our Wiſh to live in Harmony with our Neighbors, and our ſerious Determination to promote to the utmoſt of our Power, the Liberty, the Welfare and Happineſs of our Country, which is inſeparably connected with our own.

[Pg 49]

By order of the Committee,

RICHARD DERBY, jun., Chairman.

Whereas I the Subſcriber was ſo unfortunate (ſome Time ſince) as to ſign an Addreſs to the late Governor Hutchinſon, ſo univerſally, and ſo juſtly, deemed an Enemy to American Liberty and Freedom, I hereby in this public Manner declare that at the Time I ſigned the ſaid Addreſs, I intended the Good of my Country, and that only; but finding in my Sorrow it had not that but quite a contrary Effect, I hereby renounce the ſame Addreſs in every Part, and hope my injured and afflicted Fellow-Countrymen will overlook my paſt Miſconduct, as I am ready to aſſiſt them in their Struggles for Liberty and Freedom in whatever Way I ſhall be called upon by them.

Londonderry, June 6, 1775.

John Prentice.

To the Publick:

Whereas I the Subſcriber ſigned an Addreſs to the late Governor Hutchinſon, upon his leaving this[Pg 50] Province: I now declare my doing ſo was without any View of injuring the Liberties of my Country, which I ever held ſacred; nor had I the leaſt Deſign of giving Offence to any Individual within the Circle of my Acquaintance, and had I conceived ſuch an Addreſs would have been ſo generally diſapproved of, I ſhould by no Means have ſigned it; and hope the Publick will freely forgive this Error in their humble Servant.

Whereas I, the Subſcriber, ſigned an Addreſs to the late Governor Hutchinſon,—I wiſh the Devil had had ſaid Addreſs before I had ſeen it.

"I, the Subſcriber, being deeply affected with the Miſeries bro't on this Country by a horrid Thirſt for ill-got Wealth and unconſtitutional Power,—and lamenting my Unhappineſs in being left to adopt Principles in Politics different from the Generality of my[Pg 51] Countrymen; and thence to conduct in a Manner that has but too juſtly excited the Jealousy and Reſentment of the true Sons of Liberty againſt me, earneſtly deſirous, at the ſame Time, to give them all the Satisfaction in my Power; do hereby Sincerely ask Forgiveneſs of all ſuch for whatever I have ſaid or done, that had the leaſt Tendency to the Injury of my Country, aſſuring them that it is my full Purpoſe, in my proper Sphere, to unite with them in all thoſe laudable and fit Meaſures that have been recommended by the Continental and Provincial Congreſſes for the Salvation of this Country, hoping my future Converſation and Conduct will fully prove the up-rightneſs of my preſent Profeſſions.
