EIGHT DOLLARS Reward.

RUN-away from the subscriber, living near Princeton in New-Jersey, a negro man named COSTANT, about the age of twenty-six; he is a well-built, likely, black, active, sensible fellow, and has been accustomed to attend a gentleman : Had on, and took with him the following cloaths, viz. Two brown broad cloth coats, one of them too large and long for him, with silver plated buttons, the other very short, with plain buttons ; a blue surtout coat ; one brown holland and one fustian short coat ; one pair of fustian, and one ditto of leather breeches; one pair of striped, and one ditto of check trowsers. one fustian, one striped gingham, and two white waist-coats; one pair of old boots : a pair of new and a pair of old shoes, with a pair of neat pinchbeck buckles ; one or two old beaver hats, cut in the fashion; two white and three check shirts, with sundry other things. Whoever takes up and secures said negro in any of his Majesty's goals, so that his master may get him again, shall receive the above reward, with all reasonable charges, by applying to the subscriber, near Princeton, to Dr. Samuel Duffield at Philadelphia, to Mr. Lloyd Daubney at New-York, or to Dr. Bates Williams Peterson, near Elizabeth-Town.

N.B. It is imagined he may have a forged pass, and go towards New-York or Philadelphia, with a view of procuring a passage to the West-Indies, from whence he came ; therefore all master of vessels or others, are forewarned not to take him off, or any ways harbour him at their peril. He is learning to play on, and is very fond of the fiddle.
