Twenty Dollars Reward.
RANAWAY from the subscriber on Thursday night last, a Negro Man slave named Sampson. He is about 30 years of age, five feet six or seven inches high, very black, of good countenance, but awkward in his appearance when spoken to; his knees knock, and his legs are remarkably small, compared with his body. He had on when he absconded, common summer working clothes. Any person returning him to me at this place shall receive the above reward.
