Runaway from the subscriber, on the 14th of May, instant, a NEGRO BOY, named SIMON, eighteen years old, about five feet high, born in this country, speaks good English, slimish make. Had on a gray great coat, something worn, the buttons covered with the same of the coat, light brown strait bodied coat, stript jacket, new gray breeches, new shoes, with large buckles, and a new felt hat; his clothes all homespun. Whoever shall take him up, and secure him, so his master has him again, or return him to me, shall have Five Dollars reward, and all necessary charges paid by JOSIAH ANDREWS. Southington, (Connecticut) May 16, 1789.
