Twenty Dollars Reward. Run-away from the subscriber, on the 30th of last month, a NEGRO MAN, named CHARLES, about 23 years old, 5 feet 9 inches high, black complexion, and of a smiling countenance when spoken to, has on one of his feet two remarkable crooed toes, next to his great toe; he can read, and write and play the fiddle, but may deny he can do either, and it is likely he will write himself a pass of some kind and change his name: he had on when he went off a blue and white mixed cotton coat, striped cotton jacket and striped nankeen pantaloons. Any person taking up said Fellow and bringing him to me, or lodge him in any gaol so that I can get him, shall have the above reward.
