Run away, on the 13th Instant.
A Negro LAD, about 17 years of age, named SY, about 5 feet high, of a yellow cast, well-set, this country born, a smooth tongued chap; he used to follow chimney sweeping, and I hear he has taken to that employ again: He had on when he went away, an old ozenbrigs shirt; a new light coloured broadcloth jacket, lined with red baize, with one pocket; a pair of brown woolen trowsers; good stockings and shoes, with an iron collar about his neck, which he endeavours to hide by something rapped around it, and covered with an old light coloured great-coat. Whosoever takes up the above described Negro, shall have TWO DOLLARS reward, and all reasonable charges, paid by me
ISAAC COATS, Brick-maker, in Philadelphia.
N.B. All persons are hereby forewarned not to barbour him at their peril.
