Fifteen Dollars reward.
RAN AWAY some time since a Negro Man named CHARLES.
He is a fellow upwards of 40 years old, about 5 feet 10
inches high, not of a clear black, but rather of a brownish cast
; has a remarkable scar on his forehead, above one of his eyes
; lately belonging to Mr. Negrin, and was formerly, for a long
while, the property and confidential servant of Mr. Dupont, but
originally belonged to Mr. Lenox formerly merchant in Traddstreet.
He is an excellent cook, and can make himself very useful
at almost anything ; knows how to read and write tolerably
well, and may possibly endeavour to pass himself by another
name, especially as he is extremely artful in telling a fair story
of himself, and has been known to make inquiry about a fellow
Charles, that was advertised as a run-away, in order that he
might not be suspected of being the same person.
Masters of vessels, and people in the country, are therefore
particularly cautioned to beware of him ; and all persons are
forbid harbouring or employing him, or taking him off. The
above Reward will be paid, on lodging him in the Work house.
If he returns of his own acccord, he will be forgiven.
John H. Sargent.
