RA N away from the subscriber, on the evening of the
fifth instant, an English servant boy, named JOHN
MI FFORD, about fifteen years of age, of a frefh complexion,
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 staring 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,
such as filers of the Philadelphia second battalion commonly
wear, an old fuftian jacket, and often wears a 'belt round
his waist, buckskin breeches, gray ribbed worsted flockings,
supposed to be pieced in the heels with a flocking of another
colour, shoes almost worn out, odd buckles, 'home made
linen shirt, 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 formermafter. He
will, in all probability, endeavor to get to some of the Back
or Lower counties, or Maryland, to engage himfelf in that
way, as he has taken a fife with him. The morning after he
went off he was seen between the Lower Ferry and Darby,
and a person that answers his description was seen behind a
carriage going through Chester. It is therefore requeued of
the gentlemen, officers 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 matter 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 expert 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
engage on board one in this port, it is therefore requeued, by
his master, that all Captains of vessels, pilots, Ihallopmen
and others, will not take him on board.
