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, stout made, very active, and artful; he is a shoe-maker or segar-maker; he will probably 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, nankeen pantaloon, with an iron round his right leg; he was seen on Saturday night last on South-Bay. If harboured by a white person, a reward of Twenty Dollars, and Ten if by a Black; he can speak the Spanish language well, and French a little.
