He had on when ) Jacket of green Baize, Cotton Breeches, Ofnabrug Shirt, a mixed blue Pair of Stockings, a Pair of Country made Shces, and yellow Buckles. From his Ingenuity, he is capable of doing almoft any Sort of Bufinefs, and for fome Years paft has been chiefly employed as a Founder, a Stone Mafon, anda Miller, as Occafion required; one of which Trades, imagine, he will, in the Cha- racter of a Freeman, profefs.
