INT SOOO schools are supported in that state, at
an expense TO the slate, OF $50 900, and about an
equal sum paid by individuals; and that 425. 35O

A CARD.

The sale of tickets in the above Scheme not having
been sufficient to warrant the drawing to take place on
the the 22d ultimo, originally intended, without
risk of considerable loss to the manager, the drawing
of the is hereby postponed for 80 or 90 days; no.
tce ofthe precise day on which the Lottery will posi-.

1t may not, perhaps be necessary to assign any fur
Their for this short posponement than con-
tanned in the above. The MANAGER would, howev-
er, beg leg leave to add that when this class is
sued, few persons, if any, anticipated in the least the
late panic in the money market which has almost para
yzed every kind of business and has caused such sim
gular and unprecedented stagnation in trade. The
distress of capitalists and moned institutions has not
been confined to any single state in confederacy,
but it has been severely felt from one extremity of the
country the other and has been general several Of
the oldest and weahiest foreign countries. And it
will not be considered matter of surprise, that the
same causes which have induced recently the post
ponemen of the drawing of an important lottery should
have similar effect ofmuch greater magnitude.
But hoped, that happy change for these reyerses
has already commenced and that all classes OF our ct-
zens in every part of the Union will participate IN
the returning tide of prosperity. The scheme now Of
ered by far the most attractive and splendid OF any
ever presented to the public in the United States and
manv very many who adventure therein will certainly
be rewarded with prncely fortunes handsome addi-
tons to what they already possess.
Those who have not yet taken an interest IN TINS Lot
terry, now have an additional OPP unity offered them
and they are respectfully reminded that by promptly
purchasing chances in this most pIendid scheme, they
will insure an early disrbutn OF the rich prizes it con-
tains-as the lottery shall positively be drawn soon
as the sale of tickets will justify; and the prizes paid
in cash Immediately after the drawing; all persons
therefore are invited forward and take ticket
or share at either of the managers Off es; where all
applications personal per letter, will at any time be
promptly attended to by the pubc's obcdlcn servant
