Maryland, about 6 feet high, well made,
about 25 ears old, wore a cocked hat,
and back in breeches. Owen Cawfield, an
Irtshman, by trade a weaver, well dressed,
and is a likely fellow; he sometimes works
at brick-making, and has lived in Alex
andria. Charles Melton, born in Loudoun
couuty, near col.Ruffel['s, andis supposed
to be lurking- abous. that neighbourhood.
Charles Philli: (but sometimes calls him
self Yohn Fcrr) 5' sect 6 or 7 inches high,
very well made, seems to be religious at

(gemmissary in the 5th Virginicl regiment,
and afterwards accepted of the first hente—

men, but afterwards took the libert to
discharge them, and resigned himsel . I
desire those men to repair immediately

YEN DOLLARS REW/IRD
FOR apprehending YESSE, a ncgro
man I latelv purchased from col.
George Heale of Fauquicr county. He is
a likely well made fellow, 5 zsieet 5 or 6
inches high, has lost some us his lower
sore teeth, is artsul and infinuat'mg, very
fond of liquor, and generally wears good
clothes, which he often changes. When
he went away, he wore a green cloth coat,
leathcr hreeches, good shoes and stockings ,
and had several other things vcith him.
He has served as a waiting man for sc
veral years past, and is well known in
many parts of the country. I expect he
has made to Lancaster, or probably to
Goochlanu'; as "he has a Father there.
