RAN away from the fubferiber, on the evening of the
filth instant, an English servant boy, named JOHN
MJ TFQRD, about fifteen years of age, of a frefh complexion,
wears his own hair, light coloured and short, and-often goes
without combing it. He h^a fto@p in his neck, and, when
spoke to, has a way of daring a person in the face, and turn
ing his head on one fide. He had on, when he went away,
a Scarlet coattee with white metal buttons, and brown collar,
lucn 4$ fixers of the Philadelphia second battalion commonly
near, an old fuitian jacket, and often weans a belt round
hi? waiir, buckmin breeches, gray ribbedwoEfed ftoekings,
supposed to be pieced in the heels with a decking of another
colour, shoes almost worn out, odd buckles, home made
linen frirt, and an old beaver round hat with a blue ribband
and a 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 mailer. He
will, in all probability, endeavor to get to some of the Back
of Lower counties, or Maryland, to engage himfelf in that
way, as he has taken a fife with him. The morning after tie
went off he wass seen between the Lower Ferry and Darby,
and a person that answers his description was seen behind a
carriage going through Chefier. It is therefore requeued of
the gentlemen, offices and others engaged in the service, if
he should offer himfelf to them, that they will have him 'ap<
prehended and secured, so as his mailer may have him again,
when they shall be entitled to the above reward, with thanks^
and all reasonable charges. Any person that will harbor
or conceal him after this notice,, may expedf to be dealt with
according to law.
