Eight Dollars Reward. RAN-AWAY from the subscriber of Elizabeth-Town, in New-Jersey, on the 13th instant, a Molatto Fellow, about 5 feet, 10 or 11 inches high, long bushy hair, which he combs back, about 22 years old; had on a tow shirt, trowsers and frock, and took one pair of striped trowsers. It is thought that he will make for some port, as he has sailed from New-Haven, to the West-Indies, and wishes to be there again. Whoever takes up said run-away, and secures him in any gaol, and give information, or brings him home, shall receive the above reward, and all reasonable charges paid by me JACOB WIANS. Elizabeth-Town, New-Jersey, August 17, 1786.
