Prince George's county, Maryland, a Negroe man, named                   
Scipio, is of short stature, plays on the banjo, and can                
sing.  It is said that the said Negroe was, about two months            
ago, at Mr. Harris's, on Susquehannah, and wanted to come to            
Philadelphia to his master, that he had a pass with him, and            
pretended to be a free-man.  Whoever takes up said slave,               
and brings him to Mr. George Croghan, or Mr. George Gibson,             
in Lancaster, or to Marcus Kuhl, in Philadelphia, shall have            
three pounds reward, and reasonable charges, paid by George             
Croghan, George Gibson, Marcus Kuhl.
