walking along, not far from her House, and tore off the hind
Part of her Gown, which he carried off in his Mouth;--but
the Woman happily made her Escape from him.
And from Kingston, in the County of Worcester, we hear, that
on Tuesday last as Mr. Stephen Clark of that Town was out a
Hunting after Bears, his Next Door Neighbour went out into
his Cornfield just at Evening, and seeing something move
which he thought was one of those Animals, shott at it, and
upon his coming to the place, found it to be Mr. Clark as
above-mention'd, shot thro' his Head, to his great surprize.
We hear from Kittery, that in about 13 Days past, seven
large Bears have been kill'd within a Mile of the Rev. Mr.
Rogers's Meeting House.
It is said some of these voracious Animals have ventured
down even to some of the Seaport Towns at the
Eastward.--Two of them were seen at Medford last Week; and
one of them has been lately killed within two Miles of this
Metropolis. Some have weighed above 300 lb. Wt.

interesting to note how that place stood in reference to the shoe
industry in the year 1762. The "Boston Gazette" of November 2 says:--
We are confidently told, that in the Town of Lynn upwards of
Forty Thousand Pair of Womens Shoes have been made in one
Year, equal in Goodness to any imported from Abroad--It is
