T EN FOUNDS REWARD.
RANA WAY from the subscribers, at North
ampton Furnace, an liifh indented servant
man named THOMAS HARNETT, about
twenty-five years of age, five feet five or fix inches
high, long visage, fair completion, grey eyes,
ihort dark brown hair, much pitted with the small
pox, a thick square-made fellow, has some stoppage
in his speech, is well acquainted in and about Phi
ladelphia, and from that down about Newcastle ;
he has been a butcher, but has worked with a tan
ner in Philadelphia, also at ditching and grubbing,
and has lived in and about Chefnut Level : He fays
he has two brothers, William and James Harnett,
ore of whom lives about five miles from Philadel
phia, as an overleer for some gentleman, and the
other about nine miles. He fays he has formerly
lived with one Hugh Steal, in Hance's Neck, near
Newcastle, with whom he left a bond of one ofhis
brothers to him for 601. Pennsylvania currency,
when he went home to Ireland about twelve or
eighteen months ago. He had on when he went
away an oznabrug shirt and trowfers, upper jacket
of white kerfey with leather buttons, an under
Impelled ditto of red striped gingham with sleeves,
and white horn buttons with brass thanks, coarse
country made faces nailed in the heels, and an old
felt hat bound round the brim. Whoever takes
up the said servant and fectues him, so that his
Ijiafters may get him again, shall have the above
Reward, paid by
PR ESENTS his service to the Public, and his
grateful thanks to his refpe&able employers,
and begs leave to inform them that he has lately
fitted up very suitable apartments, for different
Schools, at his dwelling house, in Carter's-alley, be
tween Second and Third-llrtets, where he conti
nues to inttru& in the above mentioned branches.
In the English Language a particular atten
tion is paid to accuracy in fuelling, and all the
grammar rules, and the greatest pains taken to ena
ble the pupil to tead with a true pronunci&im, an d
a due regard to the flops.
In Penmanship a like careful regard is had to
write with freedom and ease, from examples feleded
from the ablelf penmen ; and when fufticiently ini
tiated into this useful art, they are, instead of being
confined to a formal copy line, exercised in tran
scribing epifolaiy and other precedents, from the
most esteemed English authors, and their.own abi
lities occasionally put to trial, in inditing and im
proving their taste and fancy for ornamental
strokes in penmanship, their performances examin
ed and corrected in their presence, and every en
deavour put in pa&ice to make them sensible of,
and avoid ail improprieties in diction, and all inac
curacies in writing; and in Arrthmetick they are
well grounded in the tables and principles of each
rule. An edifying talk will he given, each time
they go from school, to be rehearted on their next
attendance, and a part of one day in the week will
be appropriated for a general repetition ; and for
their more speedy improvement under his tuition,
them books, copies, pens, &c. shall be so prepared, in
the school intervals, that they may, on their next
attendance, apply directly to business.
His Public School will absolutely be limited to
twenty pupils, in the morning, and the like number
in the afternoon; a regulation which will enable
him to do the greatest justice to each, and whereby
they may make a much greater proficiency than
they probably would by attending a whole day at a
numerous school. School hours from half after
Fight to half after Ejeven, in the morning, and
f om Two to Five, in the afternoon.
His Private School will be conducted in a diffe
rent apartment (elegantly prepared for the purpose)
and limited to tenyoung Ladies, who fhail be form
ed into two claifes, and carefully intruded in the
aforefaid branches, in which the tutor flatters him
feif, their improvement will soon be conspicuous
Should he be favored with their own close applica
tion and confant attendance. Hours of attendance
from halt after Eleven, in the forenoon, to halfefter
One, in the afternoon, during the winter, and from
Eleven to One, in the summer season.
A Ni^ht School for git 1s only, is opened by him,
at his fdd house, for the admission of such girls as
cannot be spared, by their parents, or guardians, in
the day time; and of such servant girls as can bring
a good character from their makers and mistresses.
Punctual attendance will be given, and all diligence
used fortheir speedy improvement in spelling, read
ing, writing, and arithmetick. This school is pro
pqfed for the convenience and fatisfa^ion ofthofe
well disposed persons who are desirous of affording
their girls a peceff.uy education (the greatest bene
fit perhaps, they can confer upon then,) and who
do not chose they should intermix with, or be liable
to the rudenefsofboys, at Evening Schools: This
prudent objection is, nevertheless, productive of a
very grievous, and fbmetimes an irremediable dis
-2 vantage to girls who lose the opportunity of an
education, in their early and most susceptible years,
which, it is hoped, the present proposal will have a
great tendency to remedy and prevent.
