Eight silver dollars reward.  Ran away last night from the
subscriber, in Middletown township, Bucks county, an
apprentice lad, named William Worstill, about 19 years of
age, 5 feet 6 inches high, light complexion, well-set and
full-faced; he is remarkably fond of playing on the fife; by
trade a miller: had on and took with him, a light-coloured
coat, corded jacket and breeches, a corded coatee, and
sundry clothes not known.  He went off with one Joseph
Gillam, a weaver, and John Twining, a labourer, and it is
supposed they are making for New-York . . . [4 lines,
