RUN AWAY, my apprentice JOHN NEFF, a tall young man of about 17 years of age, masculine, hearty, raw country boy, of a good disposition, light coloured short hair; had on when he went away light colour'd cloaths. - As he has always behaved well, and appeared contented and happy, I suppose he has been enticed away by some designing person --- Therefore, if the young man will return soon I will forgive him; but if he refuses it is desired he may be taken up or secured, and notice given me.---All reasonable charges shall be duly paid, besides a handsome reward. THOMAS DENNY. Wethersfield, Nov. 8, 1781.
