WHEN INDEPENDENCE BELL WAS RUNG.-
A correspondent, Who styles himself "Ncri.
tas,' inquiries of us as To the correctness of
the story that as soon as Congress had de-
clarcd the Independence of the colonies, on
the Fourth OF July l17G, what is known as
Independence Bell vas rung. lie also wish
cs to know whether "a blue eyed boy" stood
at the door of the Hall, and cried out
"'Gis done! lis done ring gray beard,
ring" signal for an enthusiastic old
gentleman up in the steeple to proclaim
Liberty throughout all the land" &c, by
ringing the bell.
In reply to our correspondent, we will
state that this very prctty.story originated
with the ingenious Mr.. George tippard, who
cut it out of Nhole cloth along with some
other iantasticul embellishments, which he
got up in the name OF history The fact is,
that Independence was declared in secret
session, and the important fact of the con-
summation of the measure was not made
known upon the Fourth to any person out
side of Congress. The Philadelphia papers
published on the fifth we're silent upon the
subject, and the celebration of the event with
the ringing of Independence Bell &c. &c,
did not take plrce until the eighth of the
same iHiiadelphia Bulletin.
