LAST Night strayed from the Subscriber, a Negro GIRL, about 18 Years of Age, a short thickset Wench, had on a checkt flannel Coat and short Gown, and some other Cloaths with her. Whoever will take up said Wench, and secure her in any of the Hon. Congress's Goals, or deliver her to Mr. John Wise, at New Haven, or Rev. John Foot, at New Cheshire, shall be well rewarded for all Cost and Trouble, by me, JOHN FOOT.
