TWENTY-FOUR DOLLARS REWARD.
RUN away from the Subscriber then living near Princeton, on the 10th December 1793, a Negro Woman named Mary, about 20 years of age, of a short thick person and tollerable handsome face; having lived some time in a French family, she had a little smattering of the French language, the subscriber purchased her of John Carter, at Rocky-hill, where she was seen the day after she ran away, she was also seen at Sourland mountain. Whoever takes up said Negro Woman and delivers her to the subscriber in New-Brunswick, shall be entitled to the above reward--She herself shall be entitled to it, in diminution upon the price at her sale if she is willing to return, and procure herself a master, the subscriber giving her liberty to make her own choice, if any person where she lives should wish to purchase her, in order to save expence and trouble, he may know the terms by directing a line to the subscriber which shall be immediately answered.
