The Constitutional Convention was in session nearby the day this newspaper was printed.

It appeared that Shays had for some days past been concealed in a log house..." and more, followed by another letter beginning: "Where is Shays? Is he in Canada, Vermont or White Creek?..." with the report carrying over to pg. 3.
