next Month, they will save me the Trouble of sending, and
themselves of paying a MONITOR, who will at least remind them
that in ancient Times People were desired to "OWE NO MAN ANY
THING, BUT TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER": Which I believe is as
obligatory, I am sure as necessary, to be observed now as it
was then; especially considering Mr. _Bray's_ repeated Losses
by Fire, his having a large Family to maintain, and also being
a long Time out of Business.

In 1767 Widow Hendry had "a very chargeable family," and had suffered by a
recent fire in "Paddy's Alley."
THIS is to give notice that the Widow _Hendry_, having had her
Workshop destroyed in the late Fire in Paddy's Alley, carries
on the Farrier's Business on Scarlet's Wharf, at the North
End, where she hopes her Customers will continue their Favors
to her, in her deplorable Circumstances, having a very
chargeable Family, and met with very heavy Losses by the said
Fire.

Hamburgh Sheeting; one Bell metal Skillet, and one Silver
Spoon--The Persons that took them in not knowing who they may
belong to, I take this Method to inform them that they belong

In July, 1761, among the rough element, there seems to have been a "boom"
in breaking windows and throwing stones. This state of things reached such
a pitch that the Governor was forced to issue a Proclamation offering a
reward for the detection of the offenders.
