80 Dollars Reward.
RANAWAY from the subscribers, living in Somerset county, New Jersey, on Sunday the 27th of April last, two NEGRO MEN, the one named Lue or Lewis, 26 years of age, about 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, rather of a yellowish cast, had on when he went away a roundabout coat and pantaloons of drab colour, somewhat worn, coarse shoes, and stockings. The other named Thomas, about 24 years of age, 5 feet 5 or 6 inches high, rather yellowish, also had on a blue coattee, swansdown vest striped, black pantaloons, black fur hat, took with him two pair of shoes, the one coarse and the other fine, and some summer clothes. These Negroes are brothers. The above reward will be given to any person that will take up the said runaways or secure them in gaol, so that the subscribers may get them again, with reasonable expenses, or 40 dollars for either of them.
