RUN-AWAY on Tuesday night the 4th instant, from the subscriber at Hampstead, in Queen’s county, Long-Island, a negro man slave named ANTHONY, about 35 years old, of a middling stature, a black complexion, very talkative, speaks good English, and pretends to be a preacher, and sometimes officiates in that capacity among the Blacks. Had on when he went away a bearskin great coat, and the rest of the cloaths chiefly of the same kind, and partly worn, and may very likely have changed his clothes. Any person who will apprehend said negro man, and delivers him to the subscriber, or secures him so that his master may have him again, shall receive a reward of FIVE DOLLARS, if taken in Queen’s county; and TEN DOLLARS if taken elsewhere to be paid by me.
N. B. All masters of vessels, and others, are hereby forbid to carry him off, &c. S. CLOWES.
