Run away from Cornelius Vandervere of Middletown in New-Jersey, a Negro Fellow named Tony: Had on when he went away, a coarse Jacket and Linnen Breeches, an old Felt Hat, and old Ozenbrigs Shirt. He is a middle-sized Fellow, pretty full faced; can do all manner of Farmer’s Labour and can play pretty well on the Fiddle. Whoever takes up and secures him again, so that his Master shall have him again, shall have Forty Shillings Reward, and all reasonable charges paid by Cornelius Vandervere.
