Twenty-five Dollars Reward.

RAN away from the subscriber on the 11th of this instant, a negro man named BOB, about five feet one or two inches high, of a yellow complexion ; he is thick tongued, and has a lump on his tongue which appears like the cancer ; not possessed of any politeness, talkative at the same time – had on when he went away, a blue coat, striped swan down vest, grey cashmere pantaloons. Whoever takes up said negro, and secures him in the goal of Somerset county, or returns him to the subscriber shall receive the above reward and all reasonable charges.
