January 9. Five pounds reward.  Ran away from the
subscriber, on Wednesday morning last, a French Negro man,
named John, a likely well made black fellow, about 30 years
of age, pitted with the small pox, his eyes small and blood-
shot, remakable good teeth and wide mouth, about 5 feet 8
inches high, walks upright, and is complaisant: --Had on, a
good castor hat . . . [5 lines, clothing]  He took with him
one white shirt, one pair of stockings, and a leather cap,
lined with fur.  It is probable he may be found playing on
his fiddle, which he took with him.
  Whoever will bring him home, or give notice where he may
be found, so that his master may have him again, shall be
intitled to the above reward, from [signed] Enoch Story.
