RAN AWAY from the Subscriber on the night after the 30th Day of Sept. last, a MOLATTO PRENTICE MAN, above five feet high, well sett, had about two Years and a half to serve when he ran away, and was bound to me by the Authority of the Town. His Name we called JACK: He has lately been in the Continental Service near a Year; there he called his Name JOHN JOHNSON; he is well cloathed, had a large brown great Coat; he is now in Boston, as I have lately heard. Whoever takes up said Fellow and returns him back to the Subscriber, shall have Two Dollars Reward, paid by ELIZUR TALLCOTT. Glastenbury, Jan. 24.
