Jew —' LOTTERY INTELLIGENCE.
et " il We are informtd that the gentleman who drew the
of r5,000 dollar priie, in the Canal Lottery, wis the
j*rts proprietor of only a single Ticket 1 his instance ' .
good fortune, (hews that it is well to,be in Fortune s
dol- road ; and is the more pleafmg, as the owner of the
s of prize is a very worthy> thongh not a very affluent ci
tizen. . .
le of The g c heme of the Canal Lottery it certainly one
ncii3B of the heft which has appeared—for, independent of
the ufeful ohjeas to which its proceeds are to be ap
plied, the feheme is so calculated as to rojitmual'.y e.i- .
:c ' hance the value of the Tickets remaining in the v iieel;
e " because, while the drawing progrell'tt, the chir.ce ei
1 a capital prize growing greater, must increase the va
lue of the undrawn Ticket.
The Prizes drawn to the close cf the drawing on
last Wednesday Evening, were

;1 » n - which, and the nature of those 5 stationary prizes,
i which are to belong to the five last drawn tickets, it
will be found, that an undrawn ticket was ytfterday
morning, worth nearly 11 i-z dollars, which, at
'l and the beginning, was worth no more than 10 dollars
"'] ' and I'qTthe undrawn tickets mult continue to increase
'ty ra- in vah.e, as fact as the drawing proceeds: And this
ilarity, circumstance will account for the number of Ofiu«
;s, and which are opened for the sale of Tickets, as the p..
irriage fits must be daily increasing; and in a lew days a
arlotte Ticket now felling at 11 dollars, will no doubt com
treach rnand 15 dollars, and must continue to get higher as
the drawing approximates to the five stationary P r;!,es
