The door is now open for the reception of such as would like to try the experiment:--There is _Hatfield Bridge Lottery,_ which commences drawing the 15th of next month; this affords a _potion_ of EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS; if, after a fair trial here, the desired effect is not produced, then there is the _Harvard College Lottery,_ which commences in May, which has the highly _balsamic cordial_ of TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS, which will produce the most wonderful effects, by giving a _solid tone_ to the regions of the pocket, and by enriching and invigorating the whole system, as can be satisfactorily tested:--Twenty Thousand Dollars would "Cheer the heart, and make the spirits flow!" Perseverance is highly recommended, and if the wishes are not gratified by the attainment of the desired object, the consoling reflection will recur, that--"_there are not quite two blanks to a prize_"--which is more than can be said of quackery in general. Tickets and Quarters for sale by John Russell. --> To-Morrow the price of Tickets rise--purchasers can be accommodated until 9 o'clock, this evening. --> A handsome Premium given for Essex County Money. * * * * * |
