RUNAWAY SLAVE.—A negro named Louis, aged from 22
to 23 years, of the height of 5 feet 6 inches, having a handsome
face, and well made figure, born in St. Domingo, speaking
good French [très bien Français] and a little English. He
will perhaps try to pass for an apprentice in the joiner’s trade
to Ferdinand Liotaud, with whom he has lived some time. He
had on an old brown surtout with a big collar. Whoever shall
bring said slave to his master or lodge him in any of the jails of
this state, shall receive a handsome reward, besides reasonable
charges.
