- Boston, August 19.
Last Monday in the Afternoon there was as great a Flight of Pidgeons in the neighbouring Towns, as ever was known : the next Morning they were brought to Town in Such Quantities, that they fell from Eighteen Pence to Two Pence a Dozen; and abundance of them were carried back again, which could not be disposed of.
