Academy in Second-street, near Walnut-street, Philadelphia,
January 8, 1767. Mr. Garner, from frequent solicitations,
and a readiness to contribute, as much as in his power, to
alleviate the deep distresses of many indigent families and
prisoners in this city, many of whom the inclemency of the
season, and want of the common means of supporting life,
have reduced to unutterable calamities, proposes to have
four public evenings for the benefit of these indigent
persons,viz. on Thursday the 15th, Tuesday the 20th,
Thursday the 22d, and Tuesday the 27th instant.
---On these evenings will be exhibited the celebrated
Lecture on Heads, several orations by the students of this
academy, and a concert of vocal and instrumental music, by
some gentlemen, whose benevolence leads them to offer
themselves upon this occasion. The distribution of these
collections will be by Mr. Andrew Bankson, Mr. Plunket
Fleeson, and the overseers of the poor.
---Tickets, at two shillings each, may be had at Mr
Bankson's, Mr. Fleeson's, at the London Coffee House, and at
the above Academy.
