tai prize of S25,0O0; .hat is TO say, if the S25000
prize should come out to an odd number, tn, en-
every odd number in the scheme will be entitled
to 81 prize. If the S25.000 should come out

This mode of drawing not only enables the
Commissioners to complete the whole lottery IN
one drawing, but has the great advantage OF dis
tributing the small prizes regularly to every al
ternate number in the scheme, so that the hold
er of two tickets or two shares of tickets Zone
odd and one even number) will be certain of OBJ
tanning at least one prize, and in the same ratio

the loss which you have sustained. approach

grief But the decease Of your illustrous pa
rent, full of years, and "wi,h all his country's
honour best" on such day. and under such
circumstances, forms so glorious termination
of his valuable life, as cannot fail TO afford con-
ISOLATION to his family and personal friends.
At,he moment when the people of the U.
States were employed in celebrating the fiftieth
anniversary of the great event which he con-
,ributed in an eminent degree TO produce, in
invoking blessings on the heads Of the three
venerable survivors Of the band of patriots who
signed its Declaration, two Of them we're re-
moved from amongst us. This coincidence IS
so remarkable, that we are led to attribute 1t TO
the especial interference of Divine Providence,
which was 50 frequently displayed in the events
OF our Revolution. 1t seems TO affix the seal to
the great work, and encourages US to hope that
we shall continue 10 be favoured nation.

the declaration was signed.
The following facts, CLEANED from a pubica-
ton, in the Salem Register, which may be found
in our paper of this day, cannot but be deemed
interesting, as they relate TO the Fathers OF the
Nation. 1t appears that Of the 6fly-seven men
who signed the DECLARATIONS OF INDEPENDENCE,
the birth places Of four are unknown: ten were
natives of Massachusetts; nine Of Virginia; Sc
ven Of Pennsylvania; five of South Carolina; four
| of Maryland; three of New-Jersey; three OF Con-
nec,icut; two of New-York; two Of Delaware;
two Of Rhode Island; two Of England; one OF
Ireland, and one Of Wales.
The youngest man who signed the Declare
ton of independence, was Edward Rutkdge, OF
South Carolina, then aged t,oeaty-sir years, and
the oldest man who signed it, was Benjamin
Franklin, then aged serenity years. what
| splendid career of usefulness he ran alter three
score and ten! The average age OF all the per-
sons who signed the Declaration, at me Time
of signing, was fraction more than forty-four
years
Thomas Lynch, jr. Of South Carolina, was
but 81 when he signed the Declaration, and died
in the Soth year OF his age, being the youngest
man who died after having signed that most
important of all STATE Papers II is remarka-
bic that the three youngest men IN Congress-
July a, l776, were all South Carolirian'; their
ages averaging but 81 years and third, willis
that of the whole ASSEMBLY, their own inciud'
ed. averaged more than u years. The average
age of the persons who signed the Declaration
of Independence, al the time of their death, was
sixty-six years and nearly halfyear The ore
who lived to the greatest age, was William FL
lery, of Rhode Island, WHO lived to be ninety
two. The only one ofthem now alive, Charles
Carroll-Health and peace to The evening oil
his days!-is now in his eighty-eighth year.
1t is not out Of place, nor unworthy OF re-
mark to say, that all examination OF the sigma,
lures of those ffty-seven gentlemen, subscribed
to the Declaration, will exhibit many e1cebeh!
specimens Of penmanship. 1t is doubtful wne-
