TWENTY DOLLARS REWARD. RUN away from the subscriber, an indented servant mulatto boy, named Obadiah, 16 years of age, about 5 feet 4 or 5 inches high, of a slender make; had on when he went away, a brown linsey woolsey jacket, a tow shirt, an old pair of tow trowsers, a pair of old shoes and stockings, and took with him a rifle frock. 'Tis supposed he went to New-Milford with an intention of inlisting in Col. Meigs's regiment which lay at that place. Whoever will take up and secure said servant, so that his master may have him again, shall receive the above reward, and all other reasonable charges paid by JOHN GRENELL. Fairfield, October 22, 1778,
