Ran away last Tuesday from the subscriber, living near the
head of South River, a servant man, named Thomas Gilpin, by
trade a shoemaker, about 36 or 38 years of age, of small
stature, has big lips, a large nose, and is pretty fond of
singing, especially when he gets drunk, which is as often as
he has an opportunity.
