Eight Dollars Reward.
Ran Away, from Princeton, between the 29th and 30th September, a NEGRO MAN who calls himself CHOISI, about 5 feet 10 inches high, carries himself very straight, speaks French, the Creole Idiom, and bad English, he stutters and speaks a little through the nose; his fore teeth are pointed; he has a full and round face, and a thin beard; his chin is full of pimples which look rather like a ringworm. He had on when he went away, a great coat of blue cloth, a jacket of black cloth, patched on the elbows with pieces of blue cloth, a pair of very tight nankeen pantaloons, and a round hat with a very high crown, he took also with him two nankeen waist coats.
Masters of vessels are warned not to carry off the said Negro at their peril.
Whoever secures the above run-away so that his master may have him again, shall have the above reward by applying to Mr. Tulane at Princeton, or to Mr. LeBreton, Dentist, No. 135, Chestnut Street, Philadelphia.
