LEFT the Service of the fub
feriber, on Monday the 18th
mil. an apprentice to the Printing
business, named JOHN ELLI-
O FT, a native ofSagharbor,(Long
Iflnad.) He is a little part: 20 yea< s
old, about 5 feet 6 inches high, thu ;c
set, brown hair, and his eye a danc
hazel. There is no mark on his
countenance by which he can be
particularly designated ; but it is
one of that peculiar cart: which i‘ -
spires neither refpeft nor confi

fome strength of mind, and of the

As he furniffies an inftante
of ingratitude, difhonour, and mean -
nej's, Cvhich has but few parallels,
the fubferiber trusts that every per-
I son in the calling to whom he may
apply for employment, will treat
him with decided and deserved dis
approbation, His capacity in the
line is considerable, for he has had
the meft liberal opportunities.
His privileges have been unusually
great; but they fell far short of
those ideas which he had formed of
his own confluence. His per
quisites (independent °f being
genteelly cioathed) have probably
exceeded those of any other appren#
tice in the United dates sbut they
were very inadequate to the preffi.
ing demands which were occasioned
by his constant devotion to a cer
tain chajle class of society with
which it was his delight to associate.
He has affected to hold all autho
rity in contempt, and disregarded
the mod friendly admonition ; and
no treatment, however liberal,could
appease his murmurings, nor deter
him from exciting frequent disor
ders and mutinies among younger
apprentices. The fubferiber will be
thankful for any information con
cerning him, and will reward any
person that will apprehend and con
fine him in anvjaii in the Ur.rci
States, and give due notice, of lie
