RANAWAY on Saturday (the 27th instant) last, the 27th instant, my Negro Wench, SOPHIA, aged 22 years—tall, stout, large breasted, with a scar on the left cheek, and a sore foot; French born, but speaks good English; was used to sell cakes and fruits about town, on a tea-tray. TWENTY DOLLARS will be paid on delivering her to me, at No.
