All prizes not demanded within six months

This scheme, il is believed, affords an
equal prospect of gam to adventures with
any other which has been offered to the pub
lie. Those who are interested in the COM
merce and agriculture OF the country adjacent
TO the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers, have
additional inducements to give their support,
as the money to be raised by the lottery IS
for their immediate benefit and convenience.
1t is also hoped that the patriotic and public
spirited will,b disposed to countenance and
encourage measure which has for its object
the facilitating reaoy and convenient COM
municalion between the western country and
the Atlantic, tending TO connect the interests
of the eastern and western states, apd to
