Twelve dollars reward.  Run away, on the second of this
instant, from the Glass-House in Salem county, West New-
Jersey, a Dutchman, named Philip Jacobe, about five feet six
or seven inches high, light-grey eyes, sandy hair, thick
lips, speaks by little English; had on, when he went away, a
blue cloth coat with metal buttons, red plush jacket,
striped ticken trowsers, good shoes, with large brass
buckles, and a castor hat about half worn; took sundry other
things with him, also a fiddle, upon which he is much
addicted to play; both his legs are sore.  Whoever brings
the said Philip Jacobe to the subscriber, at the Glass-House
aforesaid, shall have the above reward.  Wistarburgh, Nov.
6, 1767.  [signed] Richard Wistar.
N.B. He served his time in some part of Maryland, about
Canawaka, and it is supposed he is gone that way again.  He
is a stone-mason by trade.
