   It is with the most sensible pleasure that the overseers
of the poor inform the public, that Mr. William Selby has
directed the Town Treasurer to deposit with them, the sum of
one hundred and fifty-seven pounds fifteen shillings and one
penny in specie, being the balance of the accounts of sales
of tickets for the concert held at the chapel on the 30th
ultimo.
   They now, on behalf of the poor, request Mr. Selby and
the other performers of the vocal and instrumental music, to
accept their thanks, for proposing and conducting that very
agreeable mode of relieving them, and presenting them with
the whole of the neat proceeds, at a season of peculiar
difficulty.
