First sentence: ON the fourth of April, 1783, the first news of peace was received in the little village then known as Falmouth Neck, and Parson Smith tells us in his journal that "our men had a mad day of rejoicing, firing cannon incessantly from morning to night among the houses, and ended in killing Mr. Rollins" - that unlucky mariner having been wounded by the explosion of a cannon, and surviving only four days.
