RAN away from the subscriber, a Negro man, called EDDENBOROUGH, a cooper by trade, about 50 years of age, a little lively fellow, active walk, speaks quick, and with a little of the Negro accent, bald upon the upper part of his head: Had on a country linen shirt, tow linen trousers, country cloth waistcoat, old shoes, and an old straw hat; it is suspected that he is harboured about Baltimore-Town, or in the neighbourhood.
