--> THE above Class will _positively_ commence drawing in the
REPRESENTATIVES' CHAMBER, in BOSTON, on THURSDAY, 13th
November next, and will continue from day to day, and be
_completed_ with all _possible dispatch._ A list of Prizes
will be _immediately_ published, and the Prizes paid _on
demand._

Lottery.

that the _strictest punctuality_ as to the time fixed for
Drawing, and in the payment of Prizes, was observed by them
in that Lottery--they pledge themselves for the same
punctuality in this.

1791, says:
The _National_ and _State Legislatures_ being in recess,
there is a "plentiful scarcity" of domestick occurrences, at
this time.--This is locally remedied by the Lottery, which
seems to arrest the attention of all ranks of citizens.--To
describe the symptoms of the _disease_ is impossible--all are
fascinated--all expect to be the favoured children of
Fortune.--The rich court her smiles, as eagerly as the
poor--and whilst, O! fickle Goddess, the _Yo
