Thirty Dollars Reward. Ran away last night from the
subscriber, a Negro lad named Tom, of a middle stature,
about 19 years of age, has a cut on his under lip; . . . As
he is a tolerable good fifer, it is supposed he will attempt
to pass for a free man, and endeavour to get employ as a
fifer to a Company, as he went to Trenton about six weeks
ago with a soldier, as fifer, but was there apprehended and
put in goal.
