RUN-AWAY from the Subscriber, the 10th of April last, a mustee fellow, named TOBEY, country born, a cooper by trade, well known in town and country, has a flesh mark on the fore part of his head, which can be easily discovered; he is about 22 years of age, 5 feet 10 inches high. It is supposed that he is harboured at Mrs. Alexander's, at Wiltown, where he has an uncle, or on Mr. William Chapman's Island, on Mosquito Creek, where he has a wife. Whoever will apprehend the said fellow, and deliver him to the Warden of the Work-house in Charles-Town, or to the subscriber, shall receive TEN POUNDS reward.
