Amoskeag Canal
LOTTERY.
'THE object of this Lottery was to
I complete the Canal. The ncac sum au
thorifed by the Legislatures of the States of
New-Hamplhire & Massachusetts is little mere
than half raised and received. The Locks only
remain for Enifhing this Canal. They are most
ly framed and on the spot; but are in a fuffer
ing condition to be put down; for want of
them the public have greatly fuffcred the pre
sent season. Every person who has passed thro'
the Slip, is witness to the truth of this fa& ; and
should the Canal be neglected another season,
which mud be the case without the aid of this
Lottery, the market in Boston, especially in the
great article of Wood, and indeed in all kinds
of Provisions, usually carried in Boats, will be
sensibly affe&ed in that town. The Proprietors
of the Middtfc Canal must also feel deeply in
terested in the sale of Tickets in order to carry
the completion of the AMOSKEAG CANAL
into effea. The Proprietor flatters himfelf that
these circumflancea in addition to the intcreft
and ardent desire he feels in immediately com
pleting his Canal, will fufficiently apologize for
his offering to the Public at this time the fol
lowing feheme. If it meet the encouragement
wished for, this small class will soon be drawn,
and the neat proceeds immediately applied to
ward putting down the Locks while the water
is low.
This Class is small; and containt only 4000
tickets at 4 Dollars each, amounting to 16,c00
Dollars. To be paid out in prizes as follows;

4000 Not two Blanks to a prize
Subjeft to no Deduction.
—o—
—of the above Prizes of zoo dollars wnl
be assigned to the firft drawn Blank, and that
of 500 to the last drawn Blank. The Shares in
the Canal will be conveyed by the Proprietor,
reserving to himfelf the privilege of redeeming
the fame any time within two Years from the
timefobe Prize is paid off, he paying the amount
of such Prize in Money and the Interest on the
fame to the time of Redemption. The prime
cost of c^cb Share is it Dollars. Prizes of to
Dollars and under will be paid on demand, and
those above in thirty days from the Publication
of the Lift of Prizes. All Prizes not demand
ed within fix Months after Drawing, will be
confidcred as gencroufly relinquished to the use
of the design of the Lottery.
The Public may be assured that Managers of
approved characters will be soon appointed and
duly sworn., The time and place of drawing
will be made known. The signor of the Tick
et is responsible for the payment of all Prizes,
drawn against any number by him signed ; and
'of course his whole Canal guarantees the pay
ment of all prizes. The Proprietor it ferifible
of the importance of bis being punctual an'd is
prepared accordingly by a deposit of shares in
the Canal at prime cost, amounting to double
the sum of the whole Class of Tickets. These
Shares will be placed in such a Attrition Tn Bos
ton, that in case the said signor of the Ticket
refufe or negled to pay the Prize in time, the
holder of such Prize can attach Shares to the
amount of his Prize or Prizes and fell them at
Public Auction 00 giving five days previous
notice to the signor of the Ticket. Bcfide this
Security, bonds are signed and will be put into
the hands of the Treasurer of the State of New
Hampshire. Though the deposit of Shares is
quite fufficient and far preferable to the best
bond that can be given ; for in case the signor
of any Ticket refufe or neglect to pay off the
Prize in time, the holder of it can avail him
felf of his demand in five days; but where
bonds are given a long time may elapse before
he can recover his Money,,in consequence of
the tardiness of legal process
N. B. Tickets are now for sale
at far Dollars each by N. S. & W. PEIRCE,

tsr, and at Mr. JOSEPH KIMBALL'sin
Plastow, in the State of New-Hampihire,

Canal may easily be supplied with Tickets from
the before mentioned places . 1 ickets will soon
be advertised for Sale, in other Towns in the

liable to accidental injury. Old windows
may be fitted with Springs as well as
new ones.
