Five Dollars Reward. ABSENTED himself on Thursday last, a NEGRO MAN named JACOB, five feet eight or nine inches high, he is very much pitted with the small pox, has bushy head, stout made, very active and artful, by trade a Shoe-Maker, or Segar-Maker— he probably will attempt to pass for a free man, and call himself Jacob Sanders, as he has done so before. Had on when he went away, a check shirt and nankeen pantaloons, with an iron on his right leg—he was seen on Saturday night last on South Bay—if harboured by any white person, a further reward of Twenty Dollars, and Ten if by a black.
