k? AN away from the fubfcribcr, on the evening of the
fifth inkant, an English servant boy, named JOHN
MIIhORD, about fifteen years of age, of a frefh com
plexion, wears his own hair, light coloured and short, and
often goes without combing it. .He.has a stoop in his neck,
and, when spoke to, has a way of daring a person in the
face, and turning his head on onek.de. He had on, whenhe
went away, a scarlet coattee with white metal buttons, and
biown collar, such as fifers of the Philadelphia second bat
talian commonly wear, an old fuftian jacket, and often wears
a belt round his waist, buckfan breeches, grey ribbed wor
ked ftcckings, supposed to be pieced in the heels with a Lock
ing ot another colour, .shoes almost worn out, odd.buckles,
home made linen shirt, and an old beaver round hat with a
blue riband and buck's tail in it. It is supposed his great
fondnefs for fifing has induced him to go off, 'having done so
once before, for which he was forgiven, and once with his
former maker. He will, in all probability, endeavour to get
to some of the Back or Lower counties, or Maryland, to en
gage himfelf in that way, as he has taken a fife with him.
I he morning after he went off he was seen between the Lower
Ferry and Darty, and a person that answers his description
was seen behind a carriage going through Chester. It is there
fore requeued of the gentlemen, officers and others engaged
in the service, if he should offer himfelf to them, that they
will have him apprehended and secured, so as his master may
have him again, when they shall be intitled to the above
reward, with thanks, and all reasonable charges. Any per
son that will harbour or conceal him after this notice, may
expect to be dealt with according to law.
FRANCIS WADE.
N. B. It is probable he may attempt to get on board some
of the armed vessels down the river, as he lately wanted to
en g a g e on board one in this port, it is therefore requeked, by
his master, that all Captains of vessels, pilots, fhallopmen
and others, will not take him on board.

welfare, but also from all the friends to liberty and huma
