Ten Dollars Reward.
RAN-AWAY from the subscriber on the night of the 30th ult.
a NEGRO MAN named Butler, but perhaps will call himself
George, his former name. He is about 5 feet 8 inches high,
stout and well formed ; about 35 years of age, rather yellowish
complexion, a sensible fellow, and a good cook—has several
large scars on his back ; very thick lips, and very coarse spoken
; tolerable open countenance ; probably will be well dressed
as he took with him several suites [sic] of clothes, principally
home spun, with his bedding—he also wears ear-rings ; had
some money. He will either make up or down the river, but
it is thought he will direct his course for New-Orleans for the
purpose of getting on board a vessel bound for Baltimore, as
he was born in Maryland. All persons, and masters of vessels
are strictly cautioned from harboring said negro. The above
reward will be given to any person for apprehending and lodging
said negro in any goal, so that I may get him, and all
reasonable charges paid if brought to me.
