RUN-AWAY,
About four weeks since, from the subscriber, living in Vine street; A Negro Lad, about the age of seventeen years, named Silas, he is of a yellow cast, and by trade a chimney sweep; he is well set, about five feet high, was lately seen loitering about the streets of the city of Burlington, in company with several negro lads, also chimney sweeps; Had on a homespun jacket, a pair of blue trowsers with his blanket, and is an oily tongu'd chap very apt to drink. Whoever will secure the said fellow, and send him to me, shall receive a reward of FIFTEEN SHILLINGS, and all reasonable charges.
