at Mr. Bowes's, near the State House, and of the Overseers.

---
The very distressed circumstances of the poor in the
Alms-house have excited the compassion of the above-named
Society, and led them again to propose a musical
entertainment for their relief.
The encouragement given on a former occasion, the low
price of the tickets, and the well known humanity of the
inhabitants of this town, afford sufficient ground to hope
for an extensive sale and a full house.
The overseers however flatter themselves, that the
frequent occasions of applying to the benevolence of their
fellow citizens on behalf of the unhappy persons under their
care will, in future, be removed by a more punctual and
competent supply of the treasury.
