Earned FLORA ; she was le&n the day after (he went
away near the Draw-bridge; it U needlefe to describe
her eloathing, (he having different changes of her own,
besides fteahng many things belonging to the family;
it is very probable she will get conveyed to the Jerfeys',
as she was brought up part of her time near S^lern, or
some place on Salem creek, and lived kft in Spring
field, Burlington county ; no doubt she will attempt to
pass for a free woman, part wih her child and change
their names, in order to effea her escape; there it
great reason to imagine that she and the child h : s been
ferreted by some people in this city, in order that they
might escape ; (he has . been advertised ever since foe
went off, with only Eight Dollars Reward, imagining
that she would have been secured in a few days. The
