THIS lottery is set on foot by a Resolution of Congreft,
passed at Philadelphia, the eighteenth day of Novem
ber, 1776, for the purpose of railing a sum of money,
on loan, bearing an annual interest of four per cent, which,
with the sum arising from the deduction, is to be applied
for carrying on the pr^fent molt just and necessary war,
in defence of the lives, liberties and property of the in
habitants of these United States.
The fortunate adventurers in the firft dafs, and so in
the second and third, who draw more than Thirty or
forty Dollars, ^all, at their option, receive a Treasury
Bank Note tor the prize or prizes drawn, payable at the
end of five years, and an annual interest at tne rate ^ffour
p^^t. or the pre-emption of fyeh tickets in the next

To the OFFICERS of the Continental Army.
THE following men have deserted from my compa

rain, Melfher Miller, George Campbell, Roger Clell,

Hatherley, Francis Morris, jbhn M'Donnajd, James
Johnson, John Young, Alexander Montgomery, William
Robeson, William Dodd.- Many of the above desert

deavouring to defraud the Continent by enlisting into
other regiments. In order to bring the villains to justice,
I hereby offer a reward of TEN DOLLARS for
each of them brought to me at Morris-Town, or secured
in any gaol, I moreover request all officers in the Conti
nental army to examine the men they have lately enlist
ed, ^nd if it appears that any of them have been enlisted
before 1 got them, I will chearfully give them up ; but
if they have been enlisted by me firft, I expert they will
be delivered to me.
