It has been found by Dr. NAUCHE, at Paris, that a person perfectly blind may be made to see very lively and numerous flashes of light, by bringing one extremity of the voltaic pile into communication with the hand or foot, and the other with the face, skin of the head, or even the neck.  In like manner, a person in the gloom of poverty may be made to perceive very lively and numerous flashes (say 20,000) of good fortune by bringing one extremity of a ragged bank bill into communication with the Book-Store and the other with the Lottery-Office, one door west of Central Building.

N.B.—­Two grand piles are now offered to the public—­Harvard
College, where the process is now in active operation, and
Plymouth Beach which is in a state of preparation.

From “Salem Gazette.”

"WHO WANTS A GUINEA?"

THIS Comedy by Coleman, has for some years past, been often
read and justly admired; the name now appears to have lost
its novelty.

Something of greater magnitude is wished for; something which will furnish the possessor with more than a competency; which will assist the industrious and enterprizing man, in accomplishing his laudable wishes.

This surely must be the true Philosopher’s Stone, which wise men of all ages have sought for in vain.—­This inestimable Gem, with some of the virtues usually ascribed to it—­will, after the Fifth Class of Harvard College Lottery has completed drawing, belong to some person or persons who will now generously lend a hand to patronise this excellent institution.

Those who are disposed from motives of interest or actuated by a wish to promote and encourage literature; will please call for WHOLE or QUARTER TICKETS, at the Book-Store and Lottery Office of

HENRY WHIPPLE,

May 17, 1711. No. 6, Wakefield Place.
