Run away on Monday last, from John Hastier, of this city, Goldsmith, a lusty well-set Negro Man, named Jasper, about 5 feet, 6 inches high, speaks good English and understands the Silversmith’s trade. Had on when he went away, a brown Forest cloth coat with flat Pewter Buttons, blue Waistcoat, with same Sort of Buttons; a Leather Breeches, with the like Buttons, old Hat, broken Yarn stockings, and old shoes. Whoever takes up the said Negroe, and secures him so that his master may have him again, shall have Four Pounds reward and all reasonable charges paid by JOHN HASTIER.
