THE unexpected delay that happened in drawing
sundry Lotteries which took place before this, has
retarded the Sale of Tickets, and rendered it im
pollible to draw this Lottery so soon as was expected ;
but as all the other Lotteries in the Colony are now
drawn, and a considerable part of these Tickets are
already fold, the Managers think that they have a
reasonable Profped of being able to draw by the firft
Day of September next, if not sooner, and recom
mend it to all who are disposed to try their Luck in
a Lottery so favourable for the Adventurers,to make
speedy application for Tickets, least they should be
nifappointed.
Tickets to be had of -the Mannagers in Hart

Hartford, July 4th, 1774,
THE other day, as Clara fair
Refolv'd to taste the rural air,
To view what beaming smiles adorn,
The vernal splendors of the morn ;
Chance led me to that very way
My Clara had refolv'd to stray.
Transported thus, the fair to find
Intent for walk, I quickly join'd.
In meditation while we go,
It happen'd, in a quickfet row,
Clara perceiv'd two birds diftreft,
And hard at work to build their nert.
We dop'd to view the anxious pair
Contrive their house, so firm and fair.
See Clara, fee ! I then expreft,
What various things compose the nest.
What diff'rent parts, connected join,
To make the whole both neat and fine.
So should the foul of every maid,
With different beauties be array'd ;
Virtue should guard the tender fair
From man's deceptive, fiatt'ring snare ;
Prudence, dir^i her wav'ring youth,
And teach her feet the path of truth;
And modesty, in outward mein,
Shou'd speak the harmless foul within ;
Honour protect her virgin heart
From ev'ry low, insidious art,
And foft good-nature ever roll
Its tender impulse in her foul ;
And when these excellencies join'd,
Display a Clara's lovely mind,
The composition soon would prove
A nest of harmony and love.

SAMUEL ENO, Esq; Moderator.
THE Resolutions of the Honorable House of
Representatives at their Sessions at Hartford
in May latUbeing read, were unanimously approved
of, as fully expressing the Sentiments of the Inha
bitants on the important Subject to which thy
refer. And,
This Meeting, with Hearts fill'd with Loyalty,
Duty and Obedience, to our rightful Sovereign
King George the Third, and with the most poig
nant Grief at the gloomy Situation the Affairs of
Great-Britatn and her Colonies are like to be
thrown into by the unconstitutional Claim of the
British Parliament to impose Duties and Taxes on
the Americans without their consent :---And being
firmly persuaded that the Town of Borton is now*
Suffering in the Common Cause of American Li
berty, and calling to mind the early Ties of Friend
ship between our Ancefters, when despising every
other Hardship and Danger, they fled from Tyran
ny civil and religious, to this Continent, then a sa
vage Wilderness, to secure themselves and Posterity
those Bleffmgs which they could not enjoy in their
native Country-do esteem ourselves bound in Jus
tice, as well as by the common Laws of Humanity,
to afford the Inhabitants of said Town of Borton all
the Assistance in our power, both by our Advice and
Counsel, as well as giving them Part of that Sub
dance which God has blefs'd us with, from Time to
Time as their Necessities shall require.
, This Town being informed that a Congress of
the Colonies is proposed and likely to take Place
soon, do hereby approve of it as a necessary and sa
lutary Measure ; when we hope and trust a general
Non-Importation and Non-Exportation Agreement
will be come into, and take Place in the Colonies.
But to the Deliberations of so refpedable a Body;
and to their Superior Wisdom submit what Mea
sures are proper at so alarming and critical a Period
as this, in which nothing less is attacked than the
Lives and Liberties of all the free-born Inhabitants
of British America. Most chearfully engaging to
the utmost ofour Power and Influence, to' come in
to, and promote that universal Similarity of Senti
ment and Proceeding, on which (under God) our
All in Life, and every agreeable Profped for Pbfte
rity is depending.
And in order to afford seasonable Relief to them
in said Town of Boflon, who may more immediate
ly fuller b, the present measures, this Town recom
mend a general contribution of Monies and Provisi
ons to be made, and the fame transmitted to the
Seled-men of the Town of Borton, or such other
Persons as the Town of Borton shall appoint to re
ceive the fame.
And in Pursuance of which a Committee was ap
pointed to take in Subscriptions of Money and Pro
visions of the Inhabitants of this Town, and to col
led, and transport the fame to the Town of Borton
there to be delivered to theSdedMen of said Towrj
or such other Persons as the said Town of Borton
shall ap >oidt to receive the fame, And,
