Run away, Taken up, at springfield Penn, near Seven Rivers. A new negro man, full of the yaws, he is tall, slim fellow, about twenty years of age, of the Chamba country, with some cuts in his face, and a small scar on the left cheek, with an appearance of a brand-mark on the right shoulder,not legible. He answers to the name of WILL but speaks very little english; says his master's name was CROOKS Mason by trade, who died and left him to a Negro woman from whom he eloped near twelve months since. Whoever owns said Negro may have him by applying to ROBERT SCARLETT, in Hanover, paying the charge of this advertisment.
