Ran- away from the subscriber on the evening of the 14th inft. an indented NEGRO BOY, named CAPE MOUNT, bound to me by the town of Killingly; he is in the 20th year of his age, and very large: Had on and carried with him a grey sertoot, 1 straightbodied coat, 1 pale blue do. 1 pair black breeches, 2 striped flannel shirts, 2 tow ditto, 3 pair stockings, 2 pair large shoes, and a fiddle, with many other articles uncertain what they are; it is suspected he has taken some articles of shop good with him. Whoever will take up said boy and return him to the subscriber, or secure him, so that he may be had, shall have five dollars reward and necessary charges paid by Timothy Lester.
