An indiscreet and ungrateful servant advertised as missing. We take the following from the "Columbian Centinel," Sept. 30, 1807:—
A GOOD LIKENESS OF SANCHO, A NEGRO MAN,
thirty years of age, about 5 feet high, very black complexion, good teeth, not corpulent, but well formed, and of erect poſition of body & a faſt walker, WHO abſented himſelf (ſuppoſed to have been inveigled away by some artful villains for their own uſe and benefit) upon the Evening of the 17th inſt. from his Master, Winthrop Sargent, late Governor of the Miſſiſippi Territory. He had learned the trade of a Barber, and is in every reſpect a moſt accompliſhed ſervant for a gentleman or a family; was born and educated in his Maſter's houſe; endeared to him, his miſtreſs, and his own wife and children, as well as the numerous blacks of his Maſter's Plantations, by long, affectionate, and faithful ſervices, and ere this ſolitary inſtance of malconduct, there was not a ſingle doubt entertained that the attachments were mutual and inviolable. If he voluntarily returns to the ſervice of his Maſter, he ſhall be received with wonted kindneſs and affection, but no expenſe will be ſpared to puniſh to the utmoſt limits of the law, all perſons who may be acceſſory in harboring or concealing him, and the ſum of FIFTY DOLLARS ſhall be paid to any perſon who will apprehend and deliver him to his Maſter, or in his abſence to Mr. Ignatius Sargent, in Boſton; to Meſſrs. G. & T. Aspinwalle, in New-York; or Col. Hodgdon, in Philadelphia;—or the ſum of ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS for delivering him to Mr. David Urquhart, Merchant, New-Orleans.

UNGUIOLOGY.
Just Received, and for Sale at the Printing-Office of BELCHER & ARMSTRONG, No. 79, State-ſtreet, and at the ſeveral Bookſtores—a few copies of that rare and valuable work, "A Tranſlation of Doctor Gaſper Gall La'Veytur's UNGUIOLOGY, or the doctrine of Toe-Nails." The various editions, languages, and countries, through which this publication has paſſed almoſt in rapid ſucceſſion, exceed calculation. Gentlemen of literature are invited to apply in ſeaſon, as the work is under reſtriction and cannot be reprinted in this country. Foreign reviews ſpeaking of it ſay, "The ingenuity of Doctor Gaſper Gall La'Veytur's Unguiological ſyſtem exceeds the capacity of our praiſe. It is impoſſible for any one of judgment and penetration to read this work without being convinced that the ſeat of the ſoul is in the toe-nails; the ſuperior advantages which this index has over physiognomy and craniology are made moſt incontrovertibly evident to the moſt common comprehenſion." Price 32-1/2 cents. auguſt 27.
