On Friday last Messrs. Halam and Allen, the gentlemen who have for some time past entertained the town with their agreeable, humorous and moral lectures, paid into the hands of the commissioners of the alms-house, one hundred dollars, towards the maintenance and support of its wretched inhabitants. When the talents and labours of the ingenious are employed, as well to reform the manners as the benevolent purpose of softening the rigours of misfortune, and feeding the poor and needy, they certainly deserve not only encouragement but applause.
