Five Dollars Reward, RAN AWAY from the subscriber, living in Sharon, about the 20th of June last, a NEGRO MAN, named DARBY, about 5 feet six inches high, 25 years of age, speaks broken; had on when he went away, a tow cloth shirt and trowsers only; he formerly belonged to Canterbury, and is supposed to have gone that way; and as he had an inclination to enter into the service it is likely he will attempt to inlist.----Whoever will take up said Negro and secure him in any goal in the United States so that the owner may have him again, shall be entitled to the above reward, and necessary charges paid, by LEMUEL BRUSH. Sharon (State of Connecticut) July 16, 1782.
