Boy Lost.
The Subscriber’s son,
Cornelius Sinclair, a coloured Boy, about 11 years old, left his friends
yesterday, and as he had no cause, and never before absented himself, it is
feared he has been seduced away, by some evil minded person; he is a very dark
mulatto, pretty stout built, thin long fingers, his eyes weak, left eye smaller
than the right. Any person hearing of
him, will confer a favour on his afflicted parent, by giving information to
Wiggin & Whitney, No. 19 South Front-street, and all persons are forbid
harbouring him under penalty of the law.
JOSEPH SINCLAIR.
