T haddeus Holt . Washington County, August 12, ts. TO THE PRINTERS OF C JHE UNITED STATES'. 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 dence :it is at once indicative of fome strength of mind, and of the *.niofl ungovernable and wicked pof- 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 lame.
