- AKEN up at Layton's warehouse, in
T EffZ'x county, about the latter end of
fast month, and now in my posseshun at
that place, a negro man who cannot or
wiii no; tell his master's name, but denies
having any in this country; says, as well
as he can be understood, that his name is
ABRAHAM; that he was sent here in a
ship with many others from Barbados, by
' his master there, to fight for lord Dursszmore;
and that he ran away from the ship, within
a few days after he came to him. He
\=-\ppears to be between 30 and 40 years of
age, nfthe middle size, flim made, speaks
very broken, his face marked in the man

are, had on a country made cottou cloth
, coat, linen short breeches, a kind oscoarse
_ wilied ]inen shirt, and ]] ad with him a very
. rusty tomahawk. His owneris desired to

Taylae's NEABSCO FURNACE,
an indented servant man named W ILLlA M
GI LL, whose dialect will very readily
discover him to be an Irishman. He is
about 30 years \os age, flouc made, has a
dark complexion, wears his own 'black
hair, which is cut very short on his sore
head, is- exceeding talkative, especially
when in liquor, which he is very fond ot',_
_and has an exceeding sore leg, caused, ]
imagine, "by his former imemperarctce.
He had on when he Went away a lightish
lcoloured short chnh coat, breeches osthe'
same, and generally wore a short blue
'acket-under his coat; he stole apair us
ct lue dusfil brethes, and sundry 01.th
clothes, from his fellow servants. it is
likely he hascthad influence enough over
some one of" his acquaintances to forge &
certificate of his being a sreeman, and as
siich may pass where\ er he pleases. He
rofesses to be a complete sarmer, and to
understand something of gar-lening,
thou in expert at neither. If he has not
alrea y engaged himself as a soldier or
mariner in the continental service, it is
more than probable that his intention and
principies, which are none of the best, may
7 lead him to Gwyn's island. Whoever ap
ehends and secures said servant, so as
\to be had again, shall have 4os. reward;
and is brought back to the said furnace,
the sum osgl. and reasonable charges a]
