Ten Guineas Reward. RUN AWAY from their master’s service, and are known to be lurking about this city the four following Negroes, viz. CATO RAMSAY, a stout able bodied man, formerly lived with Mrs. Willoughby Morgan, in Dover-Street.
DANIEL FISHER, a tall stout man somewhat marked with the Small Pox, and of a yellowish complexion ’tis said he lives on Staten Island where he has a wife and children.
LUKE WILSON, a short man, has a wife somewhere in town, and is well known among the blacks.—The above three Negroes were all of them out in the privateer brig Fair American on her last cruize.
SAM, a short chunky man, about twenty five years of age, and has often been seen at Ellis’s Island. —Whoever will secure the above Negroes, and give information to the Printer, that they be had again shall receive the above reward, or in proportion for either of them.
