The Price Will Be Two Dollars For The Summer, To Be Paid Said King On St. Michael's Day." - Quebec Gazette, 4th April, 1768.

[281] Cannon balls, shot and shell, and rusty bayonets have been dug up in the neighborhood.

Old metallic buttons, with the figure XV., were picked up showing that they once ornamented the scarlet uniforms of many gallant fellows of that XVth Regiment, who, "at eight in the morning on the 28th April, 1760," had issued triumphantly from St. John Gate - never to return.
