Run away on the 2d of September instant, from the
subscriber, living in Salem, in Salem county, West New-
Jersey, an Irish servant man, named Edward Rubie, says he
was bred in the city of Cork, and that he served his time in
Philadelphia to a ship carpenter; pretends to know something
of sawing with a whip saw; has been a privateering, and in
the army, and says he was discharged at Cape-Breton; has a
brother living in the Highlands of York, where he taught
school some time, from whence he ran away, and came to Piles
Grove in Salem county, where he also taught school for some
time, then ran away from his bail, took a horse with him,
forged an order on Capt. Cox in Philadelphia, got some
money, was advertised in the Pennsylvania Gazette, and put
in York goal, over Susquehanna, from whence he was brought
and put into Salem goal, and there became an indented
servant for three years from February 1757: Had on when he
went away a light colour'd bearskin jacket, two check
shirts, and trowsers of the same, new shoes, with large
brass buckles, and a hald worn beaver hat. He is a middle
aged man, about five feet five inches high, has short curled
hair, much pock-marked, and can play on the flute; it is
supposed he is gone towards New-York. Whoever takes up and
secures said servant in any goal, so as his master may have
him again, shall have two pistoles reward, and reasonable
charges, paid by [signed] Gabriel Coppner.
