10 DOLLARS REWARD.
RANAWAY from the subscriber on the 15th instant, a Negro Girl, named Nelly, 16 years of age. Stout built, rather short, yellow complexion, long Indian hair, curled before, bold, but rather down looking. Had on a white gown, light shawl, straw bonnet, and black shoes; also took with her a green umbrella with a fringe. Whoever will take up said girl, and return her to her mistress living near Stoney-Brook, two and a half miles this side of Princeton, shall receive the above reward.
AMEY CHESTON.
October 24, 1809.
