The Necessity of a large and convenient Hall in such a Town as this, upon all Public Occasions, can’t be disputed.  The Rebuilding Faneuil-Hall has therefore been generally approved of; and the Encouragement it will meet with from the Public, will, we doubt not, be in some Measure proportionable to its Importance:  We promise ourselves therefore a speedy Sale of the Tickets; and hope we shall soon be able to draw.

Public Notice will be given of the Time and Place of Drawing; and as soon as the Drawing is finished, a List of the Prizes will be published in Edes and Gill’s Boston Gazette, &c. and the Money paid to the Possessors of the Benefit Tickets, in Twenty Days.  Gold as well as Silver will be received for the Tickets, and the Prizes paid off in like Manner.

    Prizes not demanded within Twelve Months after Drawing, will
    be deem’d as generously given for the Purpose aforesaid, and
    will be applied accordingly.

    —­> Tickets may be had of the Managers, or of Green &
    Russell, in Queen-street, who will receive Prize Tickets in
    LAND-BANK LOTTERY.

In 1782 the State of Massachusetts granted a lottery for the benefit of the paper-mill at Milton.

The Clergy were often asked to use their influence to promote special schemes.  For instance, the Leicester Academy at Lancaster, Mass., wishing to raise about $800, advertised on June 28, 1790, a lottery, the scheme comprising three thousand tickets at $2.00; and the managers, Edmund Heard and Ephraim Carter, say, “As the design of this Lottery is for promoting Piety, Virtue, and such of the liberal Arts and Sciences as may qualify the Youth to become useful Members of Society, the Managers wish for and expect the aid of the Gentlemen Trustees of the Academy, the REVEREND CLERGY, and all persons who have a taste for encouraging said Seminary of Learning.”  Comment on this is unnecessary.  As unscrupulous persons often sold drawn tickets,—­for it seems there were irregularities even in those days,—­the following advertisement warrants the tickets undrawn,—­

Wheels very rich!
