warrants the tickets undrawn,--
Wheels very rich! A FEW undrawn Tickets in Amoskeag Lottery for sale by _John Russell._ --> The highest prize being so fixed as to come out whenever Chance shall direct it, it stands purchasers in hand to be seasonable in their applications. July 24, 1807. _Lottery Price Current._--In Boston, Amoskeag Tickets, warranted undrawn, 6 dolls. In Salem, at Russell's 5.50--at Cushing and Appleton's, not warranted, 5. * * * * * _Further Information._--The Amoskeag highest prize, of Eight Thousand Dollars, is still undrawn, and the wheels are extraordinarily rich, having gained, since the drawing began, upwards of Six Thousand Dollars. There is therefore every probability that the scrip will soon rise. Those who intend to purchase for the sake of a chance for the highest prize, are advised to do it _before_ it is drawn out of the wheel, which may be to-morrow. Those who purchase for the sake of a cheap ticket, would do well to wait till _afterwards._ July 24, 1807. * * * * * |
