Meſſrs. Printers,
You will oblige a number of your cuſtomers, by publiſhing the following advertiſement in the next Gazette.
Five Hundred Dollars Reward.
Was miſlaid, or taken away by miſtake (ſoon after the formation of the Abolition Society) from the Servant Girls of this town, all inclination to do any kind of work;—and left in lieu thereof, an impudent appearance, a ſtrong and continued thirſt for high wages, a goſſiping diſpoſition for all ſorts of amuſement, a leering and hankering after perſons of the other ſex, a deſire of finery and faſhion, a never ceaſing trot after new places more advantageous for ſtealing—with number of contingent accompliſhments that do not ſuit the wearers. Now if any perſon or perſons will reſtore to the owners that degree of Honeſty and Induſtry, which has been for ſome time miſſing, he or they ſhall receive the reward of Five Hundred Dollars, beſide the warmeſt bleſſings of many abuſed and inſulted
HOUSEHOLDERS.
Providence, Oct. 14, 1796.
Parents in Boston cautioned against thorn-apples in "Columbian Centinel," Oct. 26, 1793.
CAUTION!
The Inſpector of Police, reſpectfully makes known to Parents and others, that of late, several children have very much injured themſelves, by eating the ſeeds of Stramonium, or Thorn-Apple, commonly called Devil's Apple; who muſt inevitably have died, had they not been ſpeedily relieved by Emetics, &c. As thoſe buſhes are in ſeveral parts of the town, it would be well, if they were deſtroyed.
