RUN-AWAY from the subscriber, on Sunday the 3d instant, a MUSTEE MAN, named JACHNE, a Cooper by trade, and of a middle stature. He wore when he went away, a blue duffil great coat, a blue negro cloth jacket, a pair of White negro cloth breeches, and a pair of negro cloth boots. He carried other cloths besides with him, particularly a suit of scarlet camblet, faced with green, a scarlet cloth waistcoat, trimmed with gold lace, and a gold laced hat; he likewise took with him two muskets. It is supposed he will attempt to get a passage to North-Carolina, from whence he came, therefore all masters of vessels and others, are hereby forewarned from carrying off the said fellow; and whosoever shall apprehend him, and deliver him to me, or the warden of the work-house, shall be paid a reward of TWENTY POUNDS.
ROGER SMITH.
