RANAWAY From the subscriber on the 6th instant, his Negro Fellow JACK, about 24 years old, 5 feet 4 or 5 inches high, stout and square built, jet black, a little pitted with the small pox, about fourteen years in this country, had on when he went away a homespun round jacket and a pair yellow nankeen pantaloons, but will most likely change his dress, as has taken with him an old blue cloth coatee and a couple suits nankeens, with a pair of boots. A reward of Fifty Dollars will be paid on conviction of his being harbored by a white person, as there is strong sus- picion of his being inticed by a white man well dressed, who has been seen conversing with him a few evening’s back at J.
