There lives somewhere in the mountains
several miles west of this place a mulatto by
the name of Aaron Calaman. 1t has come t.
our knowledge that this reprobate has imposed
himself upon several communities at some

town and Liberty as the Rev Mr. Callahan,
that he has succeeded in gathering together
not inconsiderable quantity of provisions O
different kinds and that he has taken These
goods and probably others besides to Hagers

is nothing short of a common swinder.-Me
