It is a common saying-4, 'Tis impossible to
please every one." This may hold good with re-
spell to prrionc, but not thins—since therf is a most
interesting matter now before the public, which re-
futes the adage ; and which is—the very pre-emi•
vent Scheme of the approaching I,ov:rue—noble,
beyond prt•cedent, for its construction and display of
Cel r L. Paten. On vi-w it pleases :very bo.!y;
a,..1 nuns -rout adventur.xs will be infinitely more
pleased with it, when they come to participate of
its supreme blessings. 'Tis a lottery, in stin, of
such superior attration, that even six weeks before
its drawing, Tickets and Shares have experienced All
advanced price—so great and general is the demand
already for chances, in a Scheme so tope:lath-61y
opulent.
