Run away, on the eighth day of last month, from Amwell
Township, Hunterdon County, a servant man, nam'd Thomas
Lane, about five feet high:  Had on when he went away, an
old felt hat, old light colour'd jacket, with two large
patches on the shoulders, an old red jacket under it,
ozenbrigs shirt, old leather breeches, and old shoes with
strings;  he is a shoemaker by trade, can play on the
fiddle, and dance, and loves liquor.  He ran away from the
master he formerly liv'd with, and was discovered by his
barking like a dog, and crowing like a cock.  Whoever takes
up said servant, and brings him home to his master, or
secures him, so as his master may have him again, shall have
thirty shillings reward, and reasonable charges, paid by me
[signed] John Wood.
  N.B. He was seen about a week after he went away at the
Forks of Delaware; and when in liquor he is subject to fits.
