Run away, a Negro man named APOLLO, a carpenter by trade. He is round-shouldered, about 5 ft. 2 in. high, and is marked WH or SH on his shoulders. Was formerly the property of Mrs. WISE of Kingston. He is also a good fisherman, at which business it is supposed he employs himself, as he has been seen lately at the east end of Kingston with fish. Also, PRISCILLA, a market-woman, well known in Kingston; is elderly and has absconded with money that she has received for provisions, &c. she has sold. Also, CHLOE, and SYLVIA (or Bob) [sic], both washer-women and house Negroes who were hired out in Kingston by the month, and have made off with several months wages. They are both very able women, and were formerly belonging to Mrs. MARTHA EWERS, dec. Chloe has her mother with her, named CLARINDA, a tall thin woman, rather elderly. Whoever will secure any of the above Negroes, and send them to the Subscriber's penn in Liguanea, shall have a Pistole reward. If harboured or concealed, the informer, on conviction of the offender, shall be paid twenty Pounds, if by a white person; and if by a Negro or mulatto, five Pounds. WILLIAM HARRIS.
