25 Dollars Reward RAN-AWAY yesterday from the subscriber a negro man named NED USHER, he is a blacksmith by trade, about five feet six inches high, speaks English and is something of a sailor and will perhaps try to ship himself on board some vessel—he wore white linen trowsers and check shirt when he went away and has been only about four months in this country. The above reward and reasonable charges will be paid for securing him so that his master may get him again. Masters of vessels and others are cautioned against harboring said fellow.
