This was the extent Of the damage on the
west. On the east the Rock island House
was cleared of its furniture by the
crowd, against every protest Mr.. Woodin,
theaproprietor, coald make. Mr.. Woodin
had no insurance, and his furniture was
pretty roughly handled and probably good
many things stolen.
After the FIRE was extinguished, the city
authorities invited the firemen, the people
from the Arsenal, and few others who had
been most efficient in quelling the FIRE, to

Grand Holiday Drawing (!

o.
No more acceptable and appropriate present
can be made TO a mother, wife, daughter, hus-
band or father than a ticket in the Kentucky
Stale Lottery. Now that the Holidays are so
near at hand-the season when it seems almost
duty imposed by the custom of our forefathers
for many generations, well pleasure, to
confer gifts from loving hands-it seems peculi-
ariy fitting to give presents hatpossess some
actual value. 1t has long been ackno wledged by
all who are informed, that the Kentucky State
Lottery offers greater Inducements to purchasers
of tickets than any other legalzed lottery in tho
world. magnificent Single Number Drawing
will take pl1ce on the 3lst of December, which
offers unrivaled inducements to purchasers hold
ing tickets. Parties who willing, by the IN
vestment of few dollars, TO compete for some
one of the many splendid prizes offered, should
lose no delay il applying for tickets. S2S0,650
will be distributed The capital prize is S50, GOO
insuring handsome fortune to the lucky holder
Of the corresponding ticket.
Hundreds of well attested instances, similar TO
the foregoing, are almost daily occurring:
''Miss Mary Russell Milford, who died in
1855, when only ten years of age, gained, as a
prize in lottery, the handsome sum of ten
thousand pounds, or fifty thousand dollars. The
ticket which drew this magnificent sum was pre-
scented to her by her father DIR. Milford, one of
the most prominent men and Judges of his time.
How many homes would be frightened by n
similar success in the Grand Holiday Drawing
of the Kentucky State Lottery on December 81
