dun of TWO or three particular friends, was entrusted
with property to the amount OF about tEiray six thou

he then beng IA poor Joarnry2ial, but employed in;
Il Situation Of some trust. IN The month OF May fol-
lowing, he left his business under the supervision of Il
friend while he went to tthiladelphia. In the vicinity of
the Spread Eagle, on Schuyikill, where he mari led in
II respectable family. Immediately on his return it
was found that he had largely increased the amount of
his debt, in addition to the sum of six thousand dollars
IN cash, which his friend had ndvanced Tor him in conf
dence, during his absence, to keep his name from pro-
test. He, under these circumstances, sued his credi-
tors for u respite, which they kindly granted him, and
allowed him 10 commence a new business and all read
lily cherished and rendered him assistance in pros.cu-
ting it, unde, repeated assurances of fidelity on hispart.
BY his adroimess he readily procured business in his
Inc, and applied to his Trends Il; d ,reditors for mate
rails tn be employed in his business, promising to APP
propiiule the proceeds to The paymentot the same and
TO ~liquidate in part the old debt. when after straining
his credit as far as possible and using a portion of the
proceeds, which 1t appears he regularly re eeived for his
own ~prodigal purposes, he clnndestinely made his
disappearance on the 10th of October instant; as is sup
posed on his way North, and all the money he has car
ried (how much is not f lily a>certained). lie has thus
swindled and deirauded his friends and honest creditors
1t is to be hoped that all those creditors at the North,
who do not wish themselves or friends to be swindled
out of their honest earnings BY those who are too prod
lgal to obtain their own livelihood by the honest sweat
of their brow, will give this advertisement passing no.
