Five hundred dollars reward.  Went away from the subscriber,
on the 25th of April last a Negro boy, named Nero, about 21
years old, a well set likely fellow, speaks good English and
has much of a musical voice.  He carried with him two felt-
hats, one with a gold lace, for a band, one new stript
woolen shirt, one red baize waistcoat, a brown home made
coat, cuff'd and lappel'd with red, a pair of new mouse skin
breeches, with wathewmoot buttons, one pair of blue broad-
cloth breeches, one pair of white ribb'd yarn stockings, one
pair of black and white ditto, two pair shoes, a pair of
square brass shoe-buckles, a pair of silver knee buckles
with brass chapes and tongues, and a violin.  Whoever will
give intelligence of him, that he may be recovered, or
convey him to me, shall receive the above reward, paid by
[signed] Thomas Legate. . . [2 lines] Leominster, May 1,
1781.
