THIRTY DOLLARS REWARD. Ran away from the subscriber, on the 14th inst. his Negro Fel- low, named JIM: He is about 32 or 33 years of age, 6 feet high, of a yellowish complexion, an active raw-boned fellow, very much pock-marked--he is a very plausible negro, has been ac- customed to go in Canal boats to Charleston, is well known on all the Wharves--it is supposed he will make directly for Char- leston: Therefore, owners and masters of vessels are cautioned against employing or taking him on board any vessel, as the law will be strictly enforced against such person or persons as may employ or take said Negro out of the state.
