DE^ER iED some time in September last from
my compiny cf artificers in public feivice, a
certain Junes Tiumbel, by trade a fadler, a native
of Scotland, his place cf rtfidence when inlifted was
Amherst, in the ba ecf Massachusetts Bay ;is about
6 feet high, Rout and veil made, yellow complex
ion, very talkative and boafling, particularly ref
prying his branch of business ; he left Fish KJI by
most infamoufly impefin^ on his officers, as being
troubled with rheumatic pains, and confequenth,
unfit for dtry, by which means he obtained a ffiorf
furlough and immediately fell to work in the coun
try, and I am informed is still lurking in some part
of Massachusetts Rate, near the tr.wn cf Boßon. It
is h. ped that every friend to his country will ei.
deavour to apprehend the said villain that he may
meet with punishment so jufily due to his demerit,
and be obl ged to return to the service of his coun
try. A reward of fifty dollars will be given toany
person who will apprehend him and deliver hire to
any Deputy Quarter Mailers General, who a^ d^-
fired to pay the rewa d and report him to Col, Udny
