Thirty Dollars Reward.
RANAWAY from the Subscriber, on the 11th inst a NEGRO
FELLOW named
OLIVER,
tolerably stout built and well made, aged about 27 years, but
looks young for that age, having very little beard, about 5
feet 8 inches high—he is a tolerable black fellow, with a very
pleasing, smiling countenance, is very polite and courteous in
his address, has rather a soft, effeminate voice, and has a short,
quick step when he walks. He has for several years past been
employed as a waiter in the public house kept at this place, and
carried with him sundry articles of very good clothing which
cannot be described. He took off with him a dark chestnut
sorrel HORSE (at that time much sunburnt and in low order)
about 4 feet 10 or 11 inches high, with a white face, and a
scar under his righy eye, about 7 or 8 years old. I will give the
above reward for securing the above described negro fellow,
so that I get him again : all proper expences if brought home
and a reasonable compensation for such information as may
enable me to regain the Horse. As he ran-away without any cause whatever, I am apprehensive he has been furnished with
free passes, and will make his way towards Newbern, or some
other seaport town.
