RUN away from the subscriber last night, an apprentice Boy, named ELIJAH WELCH, almost sixteen years of age, darkish complexion, black hair and eyes; took with him a mill coloured coat, jacket and breeches, mixed blue and white Stockings, a frock and trowsers, a white tow shirt, and two felt hats; he has a down guilty look when spoken to. Whoever will take up said boy and secure him in any goal, or return him to the subscriber, may prevent the boys ruin, and shall have one dollar reward, and no charges paid by ISAAC STRATTON. N. B. All persons are hereby forbid harbouring or carrying off said boy at the peril of the law. Williamstown, October 13, 1785.
