W HEREAS ISAAC JOHNSON, formerly of the City of New-York, Shop-keeper, but late of the Nevesinks, deceased, did, by his Will, set at Liberty a Molatto Slave, called Thomas Jackson, and provided Security to render his Manumission effectual; but the Bond given for that Purpose hath been destroyed, and an unjust Attempt lately made to sell him at Vendue; which induced certain Per- sons, from Motives of Humanity, to indemnify the City or Place he may reside in, whereby his Freedom is per- fected : These are therefore to caution all Persons against

WHEREAS a certain John Henry Vanravenclare, on or about the Tenth of July inst. stole from the Commons of Philadelphia, a brown Horse, belonging to the Subscriber and sold him at public Vendue in the City of Burlington, by which I have been put to great Trouble and Expence : These are therefore to inform the Public, that I will give a Reward of Forty Shillings to any Person that shall ap- prehend and secure said Vanravenclare in any of his Maj- esty's Goals within this Province, that he may answer for his Demerits. He is a short thick-set Dutchman, of a dark Complexion, has lost the sight of his right Eye, wears a brown cut Wig, and black Jacket; he pretends to be the Parson of a Dutch Congregation back of Lancaster, and is supposed to be gone that Way. As the Practice of Horse-stealing is of late become so frequent, it is hoped that every Member of the Community, and Lover of Jus- tice, will be vigilant and careful to detect such Villains.

Extract from To the PUBLIC.
The humble Representation of FREDERICK ROTHEN- BUHLER, Minister of the High Dutch Reformed Church in Philadelphia.
As I find my Character misrepresented in the Gazette of June 23d;
But those Papers being unfortunately lost as I was almost ready to sail for New-York, to make up this Loss, and for a further Recommendation I requested, and readily had a Certificate from the following Ministers in London, who saw all those Papers and Testimonials, the Original of which Certificate is lodged with Mr. Hall; and here follows the Translation.
To the benevolent Reader Prosperity !
"The Bearer hereof, the Reverend Mr. Frederick Roth- enbuhler, a Citizen of Bern, has fully satisfied us the Sub- scribers, by undeniable Certificates from the Ministers and Professors of the College in the City of Bern, that having there finished his Academical Studies, he was lawfully ordained to the Work of the Gospel Ministry in the Year 1752. Coming to Holland last Year, he preached fre- quently for the Space of ten Months in French and High Dutch, both at the Hague and in Amsterdam; and there he was advised by Men of great Reputation both in the Republic and the Church, who knew his Learning and Qualifications, to devote his Talents to the Service of the Church of Christ in North America.
"In Obedience to their good Counsels, he procured from his native Country new Testimonials of his minis- terial Character and good Behaviours for this Purpose;

and he likewise brought to us, to London many Letters of Recommendation, and some to Gentlemen in New-York, particularly to Mr. Van Harlingen, and to the Reverend Mr. Lydt of New-Brunswick; all which public Testi- monials and Letters of Recommendation we have seen or have now in our Hands. As he lost some of his Papers, going aboard the Ship York, and was uncertain whether he might ever recover them, he requested us to certify this Circumstance, and what we know of his Conduct and Character. 1

all good Gifts, to grant Success to the Endeavours of our most gracious Sovereign, for putting a Period to the Hor- rors and Devastations of War, by the Establishment of a general Peace among the Princes of Europe, and particu- larly between His Majesty and His Most Christian Maj- esty the French King, and His Most Catholic Majesty the King of Spain: A Peace founded in Wisdom and Moderation, which has fully accomplished the great End for which the War was undertaken, and is beyond Ex- ample adapted for extending the Commerce, increasing the Strength, and promoting the Happiness, of the British Nation. These invaluable Blessings, and the effectual Security, which is now given to the Protestant Interest, so much endangered during the Course of the War, demand the most fervent Acknowledgements, and Acts of Grati- tude, to that Divine Being, who is the Author of Peace and Lover of Concord.
That this most necessary and indispensible Duty may be the more solemnly discharged, I Do in Pursuance of His Majesty's Commands to me for that Purpose, ordain and appoint, that Thursday, the 25th of this Month, be set apart and observed as a Day of public Prayer and Thanksgiving, by all His Majesty's Subjects throughout this Colony; exhorting them to prostrate themselves on that Day before the Throne of Grace; and, with the ut- most Humiliation and Fervency, to return Thanks to Almighty GOD, for the great Blessings of Peace, and to implore his divine Protection and Favour for the future.
And I do recommend it to the Ministers and Preachers of the Gospel, to compose Sermons suitable to this solemn Occasion and require them to give due Notice of this Proclamation to their respective Congregations.

At the celebra- tion of St. John the Baptist's day, June 24, 1762, by the St. John's Grand Lodge, of Massachusetts, a deputation was granted to Jonathan Hampton, a prominent citizen of Elizabethtown, to constitute a Lodge at that place, by the name of Temple Lodge, No. 1. It was organized and did some work, but no records of the Lodge are known to exist. It is hardly probable that the horse race advertised was under the auspices of the Lodge, but the advertisement indicates that the Lodge was in existence, and that Masonry was active, in the town in the Summer of 1763.
