ON the fourth of October, during the late
unhippy disturbance, the President of the State
gave his H mger, on account of the belt breaking, to a
person standing at the door of Mr. Armitage, at the
Cross Krys in Chefnut and Fourth-streets, desiring it
might be carried into the house till sent for, which it
appears since the person to whom it was delivered did
not do, but carried it off, and has not yet returned it:
He is now requested to bring it back and he will be re
warded for his trouble ; otherwise effectual means will
be taken to find him out, as he was particularly noticed,
and expose him. Should it be offered for sale, it is
hoped it will be flopped. It had an ivory handle fluted
with a curve, without any guard, and was of the dagger
kind, but rather long, it was delivered without the
(heath, and had on the blade two pretty large spots of
rust.
