To be SOLD in MIDDLESEX, A VALUABLE plantation, lying on Rappahannock, within two miles of Urbanna, and convenient to church and mill. There are on the said plantation, a good dwelling-house, kitchen, quarter, &c. two large barns, upwards of a thousand bearing apple trees, and a larger quantity of peach trees, cherries, plums, &c. Also a tract of land in the said county, lying on Dragon Swamp, containing 100 acres, has on it a fine orchard, and a small meadow, which, with little trouble, might be made a very valuable place. Likewise a lot in Urbanna, very well situated for a store, or tradesman. I have another tract in Culpeper, which I would sell on 12 months credit. N. B. All persons indebted to the estate of Thomas Laughlin, deceased, are desired to pay off, in order to prevent suits; and those who have any demands against him, or self, are desired to bring them in. SIMON LAUGHLIN.
THE public will please to take no- tice that any sale made by Mr. Henry Peyton or Mr. Cuthbert Bullitt, of a certain tract of land on Little River, in Fauquier, consisting of about 1700 and some odd acres, will not pass or convey any right or title in the said land to the purchaser or purchasers, as the right to that land is certainly in the executors of Mr. Allan Mac- rae, deceased, by a patent which they obtained for the same from the proprietor's office: These are therefore to forewarn all persons from purchasing the said land from either the one or the other of the above named Gentle- men, without first applying to, and paying the consider- ation money to THOMAS LAWSON, acting executor of Allan Macrae.
WHEREAS on the 15th day of December last, I bought a Negro girl named Siller, of a certain John Arnold of Spotsylvania county, for the sum of 521. 15s. to be paid at a future day, and have been since informed that the said Negro is under an incumbrance, which I am rather inclined to believe, as Arnold, by earnest entreaty, prevailed on me to give my bond for the purchase money aforesaid, payable to Mr. Samuel Temple, alleging that he intended with that money to purchase a Negro boy of Mr. Temple, who would sooner take a bond payable to himself than an assigned one. I therefore request the favour of all persons who may claim title to, or interest in, the said Negro, to inform me of the same as soon as possible. All persons are cautioned a- gainst the said bond. ZACHARIAH HENDRICK.
THE genteel contribution at Ha- nover court last, for the emolument of my wife and children, demands the greatest acknowledgment. I do therefore very sincerely return my most grateful thanks to my worthy benefactors, and inform them that the money raised was, by the trustees, laid out in the purchase of four of my negroes, and settled on my wife for her life, and after her death on our children. HARRY TOMPKINS.
WHEREAS, in order to secure our- selves, we have been under the necessity of admin- istering on the estate of Thomas Derrick, deceased, late of Northumberland county, and one article of the said estate is a valuable pilot boat, well fitted, with a suit of new sails, which boat we intended to have disposed of; but on the night before the appraisement, John Derrick and Joseph Hague, two white men, who sometimes went in the said boat, in the lifetime of Thomas Derrick, deceased, in a private and clandestine manner, took the said boat from the landing where she lay, with a design, as we have reason to believe, to dispose of her; we therefore give this public notice, that the aforesaid John Derrick and Joseph Hague have not the least right to the said boat; but that we are determined to take every method in our power to recover her from them, or any other person, who may unwarily purchase her. JOHN LELAND, WILLIAM BELL.
COMMITTED to the gaol of Augusta county, the 23d of this instant (April) on suspicion of being a runaway, an Irishman, who calls himself Matthew Thorpe, and says he belongs to Mr. Gilbert Campbell, of Westmoreland, and his person appears to be agreeable to the same advertised by that Gentleman in Mr. Rind's Gazette of the 4th of April, except the finger, which he cannot shut close, being on his right hand instead of his left; but there were none of the silver spoons, nor other articles mentioned, found with him, except the grey coat, with silver gilt buttons. He rode, when taken up, a dark sorrel gelding, which appears to be somewhat English blooded, about 14 hands high, is supposed to be 9 years old, has a small star in his forehead, and appears to be shaved with harness, but hath no brand perceivable. The owner is desired to come and take him away, and pay charges. GEORGE MATTHEWS, Sheriff.
Imported in the Golden Fleece, Capt. Goosley from London, A BOX directed on the top to the subscriber. It is supposed it was sent to Peterburg by mistake. Whoever will give information of the said box to Thomas M. Randolph, Esq; in Goochland, will greatly oblige JOHN ROGERS.
RUN away from Morris Ramsay, in James City county, some time in the year 1769, a mulatto fellow named MOSES, by trade a sawyer, the property of the subscriber; he is about 36 years of age, his size and apparel I cannot describe; as he belonged to the estate of Joseph Morton, Gentleman, deceased, and never came to my possession after the division of the said estate. He has a wife named JOAN, the property of Mr. William Morton, that has been out with him almost the whole time, and therefore must necessarily suspect that they are harboured by some ill disposed person in or a- bout Williamsburg. Whoever will take up the said fellow, and conveys him to me in Richmond county, shall receive a reward of SEVEN POUNDS, besides what the law al- lows; and as such notorious offences are not to be borne with any degree of patience, I will give a reward of TWENTY POUNDS to any person who will produce the head of the said fellow, severed from his body. May 7, 1771. NEWMAN B. BARNES N. B. He has been out-lawed three weeks.

AS twelve months are nearly expired since the store kept at Todd's, on account of Mess.

A CHURCH, 48 feet by 26; like- wise a vestry house, 16 feet by 12; each to be finished off in the usual manner. MICHAEL THOMAS, WILLIAM COX.
RUN away from the subscriber, the 19th of March, a mulatto fellow named PETER; he is about 5 feet 6 inches high, well set, and about 25 years old. The said slave ran away once before, and was out upwards of a twelvemonth, he was brought home the 14th, on which day I banded him S on one cheek, and R on the other, though very probably he will endeavour to take them out, or deface them. I likewise had his hair cut off, which is long, when grown out, and very black. His greatest resort, during the time he was out before, was Petersburg, Chequerfield, Prince George, and as far as Roanoke, near Nush Island, and James river, passing as a free man, and working on board of vessels: I there- fore hereby forewarn all masters of vessels, and others, from entertaining him, or carrying him out of the country. The said slave was raised in the upper part of Prince George, by one Mr. Chambliss, of whom I bought him about 6 years ago. He has a brother belonging to Mr. Dunlop, near Cabin Point, who I suspect harbours him; he has also several brothers and sisters in North Carolina. Whoever conveys him to me in Amelia, shall receive a reward of FIVE POUNDS, if taken an hundred miles from home, and in proportion for a less distance, includ- ing what the law allows. SAMUEL SHERWIN.
N. B. As Peter had not one article of the drets he went off in before, when he came home, I think in need- less to describe that particular.
THIS is to acquaint all merchants and others, who are occupiers of corn mills, that JAMES APPLETON, sen. has opened a yard in Liver- pool, where he has a large choice picked parcel of French burr stones, which he will sell as cheap as can be had in any part of England, either ready made up, of any size, or in the burr; and he flatters himself those of the trade, to whom he is known, will allow he is very capable of judging what kind of burr is most suitable to preserve the condition and colour of flour, and, at the same time, of grinding very expeditiously, he having been above 30 years in this branch of business, and near 40 in the milling, and great part of the time in the south of England. He is the only importer of this article into Liverpool from France, where he generally goes himself, or sends an experienced man, to pick them from the quarry. Also, he has just imported a quantity of Cologne stones, such as are gene- rally used in North America for grinding wheat, of the best and most even quality, which he will likewise sell rea- sonable.
N. B. The Gentlemen who have occasion to give or- ders to their correspondents for stones, are desired to con- sult their millwrights, particularly whether for water or wind mills, and which way they are to run, either with the sun, or against it, and any other articles that may be wanted in the mill way, to prevent useless expences, and disappointments.
I SHALL embark for Brit- a few weeks. JOHN F

Witness Charles Binns, clerk of our said court, the 15th day of November, in the 11th year of our reign, 1770. 6 m CHARLES BINNS.
FREDERICK, July 2, 1770. THE subscriber thinks proper to in- form the public, that he purposes beginning to inoculate the SMALL-POX on the 12th day of Septem- ber next, and to continue the same until July following, at his house, six miles from Winchester. The situation healthful and agreeable. The terms for each patient TWO PISTOLES for inoculation, and 20s. a week for board.
He flatters himself that his experience in Europe, and his repeated success in inoculating in this county, will render any account of his being regularly qualified, un- necessary. To these he chuses to appeal, rather than speak confidently of himself.
Patients may depend upon every necessary accommoda- tion; likewise the greatest care and tenderness; and need not be under any apprehension of confinement. JOHN M c DONALD.
Maryland, August 15, 1770.
THE subscriber, who has been regu- larly bred to the practice of PHYSIC and SUR- GERY, gives this public information that he begins to inoculate on the 5th of September, and continues till the last of June 1771, at his house which stands about half a mile from Baltimore Town, on a healthy situa- tion, with a very agreeable prospect. The price (as before) TWO PISTOLES, and twenty-five shillings per week for board. The sickness is really trifling, and the confinement none. They may safely return to their homes in 21 days. Those that choose to come, are re- quested not to alter their diet, and to give timely notice, that necessary care may be taken to prevent their being disappointed. NEGROES will be insured at five per cent. The subscriber declares he has inoculated upwards of eight thousand, and has lost but seventeen, and they died more from obstinacy and a too great indulgence, than from the small-pox. HENRY STEVENSON.
