She is about 40 or 45 years of age and came from Broadkiln in Sussex county and state of Delaware, former the slave of JAMES LANK, of that county. She is slow of speech and her head is almost grey. The other is an Irish woman, named ELIZABETH SMITH, who ran away yesterday. She came into Baltimore in the ship Sally, CAPTAIN LEMON, from Ireland in October 1794. She is a middle age woman, much pock marked, dark hair, speaks with an Irish dialect and is rather tall and slim. She had on when she went away a dark callico gown, a cloth coloured cloak faced with fur and a black bonnet. She also took with her several suits of cloaths which make it very probable she may change her dress. Whoever apprehends the said runaways and brings them to the subscriber or secures them in the work house in Philadelphia shall be entitled to the above reward for the two or eight dollars for either of them.
