OFFICE OF FINANCE
Philadelphia, Feb. 12, 1782.
WHEREAS the United States in Congress assembled, on
the second da, of November, 1781, did resolve,
That it be recommended to the several Stated lay taxes for
raising their quotas of money for the United States, fep^rate
from those laid for their particular use ; and to pass ads di
re&ing the Collectors to pay the fame to the Commissioner
of the Loan-Office, or such other person as shall be appoint
ed by the fuperintendant of finance, to receive the fame
within the State, and to authorife such receiver to recover
the monies of the Collectors for the use of the United
States, in the fame manner and under the fame penalties as
State taxes are recovered by the treasurers of the refpe&ive
States, to be fubjed only to the orders of Congress, or the
fuperintendant of finance.
And whereas, it is not only necessary that some precise
mode be adopted, for managing the public business in this
refped, but also that the fame be publicly known, so that all
persons concerned therein may have due notice thereof: I
have therefore cftablished the following rules, in that be
half, for the receivers who have been or shall be by me ap
pointed.
iff. They shall recording to the powers and authorities
which they may refpedively be invented with, urge the pay
ment of the several quotas of money which are or may be
required, by the United States in Congress assembled.
2dly. They shall receive bank notes issued by the Presi
dent, directors, and company of the Bank of North-Ameri
ca, in payment of taxes; and when they shall receive any
other money, they shall purchase therewith the said bank
notes.
jdly. They shall, at the end of every week, make out a
cash account, containing all the receipts of Money during
such week, which account shall be transmitted by the next
succeeding post to the fuperintendant of finance.
4thly. They shall, from time to time, transmit the bank
notes in their possession, by such person and in such manner
as the fuperintendant of finance sha'l dire&, to the Trea
fiirer of the United States, which person shall give a receipt
for the fame.
ythly, When such notes, so transmitted shall arrive, a
warrant shall issue therefor, in favour of the Treasurer of the
United States, under the seal of the treasury, signed by the fu
perintendant of finance, and duly entered in the regifte/s of
fice, direded to the receiver, who shall have transmitted to
the said receiver, who shall cancel the receipt originally
given to him.
6thly. The said receiver shall, at the end of every month,
make out an exad account of the monies received by them
refpe&ively during such month, Specifying therein the
names of the persons from whom the fame shall have been
received, the dates and the sums ; which account they shall
refpedively cause to be published in one ofthe news-papers
of the State ; to the end that every citizen may know how
much ofthe monies collected from him, in taxes, is trans
mitted to the Treasury of the United States for the Support of
the war; and also, that it may be known what monies hare
been at the order of the fuperintendant of Finance. It being
proper and neceffary,that in a free country the people should
be as fully informed ofthe adminiftratlon of their affairs,
as the nature of things will admit.

Twenty Dollars Reward.
ryHE public have undoubtedly observed in the Connc&i-
JL cut Courant an advertisement, polished by me rhe fub
feriber; advertising one large Sorrel Mare, about fix years
old, fourteen hands and half high, with a Star in her fore
head, natural trotter, belonging to me, as also a number of
articles of eloathing, belonging to my Son Reuben Hurlbut,
jun. confining of the following articles, viz. fiv6 yards of
Corduroy, 3 yards and half of white Holland, 2 white Shirts,
one red Hairbine Coat, one pair of whiteVelveroy Breeches,
one pair of Shoes, one pair of plated Buckles, 2 pair of
white Stockings, 2 Stocks, one light coloured Great Coat,
one Bridle on said Mare, as being ftolcn;in which I inform
ed the public that I fufpe&ed the thief to be one Timothy
Holcomb, of Simibury, being a stout well built fellow;
about 26 years old, with long dark hair, and black eyes;
and therein I proffered a reward of Ten Dollars, for the thief
and articles : the thiefbeing secured in any goal in the Uni
ted States, and notice given tome: In confcquence of which,
I was under written by a brother and some near kinsmen of
said Timothy, who would endeavour to impose upon the
public that my Son Reuben Hurlbut, jun. and said Timothy,
being abroad together, exchanged Horses for valuable consi
derations : I would therefore assure the public, that on a
Uriel enquiry into the matter at the place where the pretend
ed exchange was made, find in fad that on the contrary
there never was any exchange made, so that of course all
assertions concerning a bargain being thus made is falfe.
-.-And further, upon the return offaid horse home, which
they pretend said Timothy let my said son have in a way
of exchange, Caleb Holcomb, one ofthe fubferibers to said
underwriting, having a demand against said Timothy, im
mediately seized, as being the estate of said Timothy
Therefore it is obvious, thatfaid underwriting was designed,
only to prevent my said advertiferaent taking effe& ; and as
to what the underwriters fay they had from my mouth, con
cerning any exchange of said horses, I affirm I never gave
any such account; and asto the theft that they would scan
dalously call on my said Son, refpe&ing Mr. Burr's goods,
another person undertook to fettle as being the thief himfelf
and fettled by the assistance offaid Caleb Holcomb, one of
said underwriters, before my Mare and Son's eloathing were
stolen. But from a consciousness of the horiefty of my in
tention, which was and is to obtain a compensation for the
Wrongs I have (offered, as well as that such felony may be
punished; I would therefore repeat my said advertisement,
that whoever will take up the thief and said articles, (Stolen
on or about the fourth day of February last) and secure the
thief in any common goal in any of the United States, and
give me notice, shall have the above reward of Twenty
Dollars and all necessary charges, if only the thief Ten Dol
lars, by me ~ REUBEN HURLBUT.

a great friend to the cause of his country—would beg that
