may be drawn a thousand loads of manure yearly, and

needless to fay any thing of the many advantages it
is capable of: The farm is in good fence, and to be

age, near fix feet high, middling well built, his knees
bend inward, stoops in his walk; the one fide of his
face and left hand are remarkable, having been burned
when a child, which alters the colour of the (kin, and
causes the little finger on the left hand to be very
crooked; wears a falfe cue; took with him one new
blue coat, made regimental fafhion, breast and cuffs
turned up with red, one pair of black breeches half
worn, fine hat cocked soldier fashion, with a yellow
button and loop: It is expected he now passes for a

stole and took with him a good mulket, old haversack
and a difeharge, the property of James Crofher, a
whiteman, signed by colonel Gunby, of the Maryland
