The other named WILL, is a stout well set Fel- low, not quite so tall as Peter; had with him, when he went away, one brown Jacket, I old Ditto, without Sleeves, blue Breeches, no Hat. As they are artful Fel- lows, it is not unlikely they may change their Cloaths and Names, the latter came from Carolina, and it is likely they may try to get there again; and as he can write, and they have taken Pen and Ink with them, it is not unlikely they will produce a Pass. Whoever secures said Negroes, so as their Masters may have them again, shall have the above Reward, or Thirty Shillings for either of them, paid by EPHRAIM SEELY ISAAC ANTRIN.

2 The Rev. Michael Houdin was born in France in 1705. He was edu- cated for the priesthood, and became Superior of a Franciscan Convent at Montreal. Leaving the Church of Rome, he entered the Church of England in New York in 1747. In June, 1750, he says, "having my residence in New York, I heard of repeated complaints made by gentle- men and principal inhabitants of this place [Trenton], Allen's Town and Borden's Town, it being for many years destitute of a Church of England minister; and without any sort of application of mine, .
some of them were pleased to press me by letter to come amongst them." This led to the organization of St. Michael's Church, of Tren- ton, in 1755-the name being probably an unintentional compliment to the first Rector. In 1759 he was ordered by Lord Loudon to accom- pany General Wolfe to Quebec, as his guide, on account of his famil- iarity with the country, and he was retained in the army some time. From Canada he was sent as missionary to New Rochelle, Westchester county, N. Y., where he died, in October, 1766.

Sunday last, just after Sunset, viz. A fine little Boy, who went to School there, about 8 Years of Age, (Son of Wm.
