RUN AWAY from me the subscriber on the 16th day of instant Nov. a young man, about 24 years of age, a short thick set fellow, red complexion, dark hair, hard favour'd, dull heavy eyes, stole and carried off with him when he went away a wool hat half worn, a brown home made coat and vest, with smooth yellow buttons on, small cuffs, with buttons thereon, which coat he doubtless wears. Also, a black vest, homemade wove in diamonds, 1 pair leather breaches, Philadelphia dress, 2 Holland shirts, 1 homemade check linnen ditto one pair blue yarn stockings. Whosoever will secure the fellow in any of his Majesty's goals, or bring him to me, so that he may be brought to justice, shall have three dollars reward, and all necessary charges paid, by me DAVID BROWNSON. Waterbury, Nov. 17, 1770.
