RA N away from the Subfertber, living at
Fort Pitt, an maented Servant GIRL, named
JANE LATIMER, about twenty-one years of a,e, a
frefli coloured frith-looking huffy, rather of a low fea
ture for a woman, and somewhat clumfey built, with a
pearl or blemish on the light of one eye, (I think the right
one.) She was bred in Dublin, and has had a good edu
cation, being aa extraordinary goodneedle woman ; and
writes an uncommon good hand for. a woman; and will
probably profefs herfelf a school mistress in a country
place.
She went off in company with a soldier, named Patrick
Ohara, who deserted from the Maryland corps at this
place, and she may probably pass herfelf by the name of
Ohara. She isan artful huffy, and will no doubt, make
use of an old indenture, of which I befive the is possessed,
to plead her freedom by, but for sundry mifdernanours,
Ihe gave a new indenture for an additional term of two
and an half years.
Whoever will apprehend the said Servant, and deliver
herto me at Fort Pitr, or to Colonel Thomas Gibson, in.
Carlifle, or to Mr. Robert Campbell, merchant in Phi
ladelphia, or to Mr. Ignace Lebatt, merchant in Balti
more, shall receive a Reward of THREE HUNDRED
DOLLARS, with reasonable charges.
