A Negro fellow named Decias, disordered in his un-derstanding, lately strolled away from my house in Charlestown, he is a wheelwright by trade, and well known in Charlestown, of a short station, has a large beard which he wears very long, at intervals will give very rational answers, but at the times speak very in-coherently and unwillingly. Whoever can give any infor-mation where he is, or will bring him to me, shall be thankfully rewarded. RAWLINS LOWNDES.
A second hand London CHAISE and a light Windsor CHAIR to be disposed of.
