Fifty Dollars Reward.
RAN AWAY from the subscriber on the night of the 27th ult. a negro man named
ELISHA,
purchased on the 9th September of John Tucker, Esq. of Rahway, at that time in jail for stealing—about 21 years of age, 5 feet 9 or 10 inches, pretty black, large eyes, tolerably good looking fellow, rather slender made, very lazy. Had on when he went away light colored fulled linsey coatee, under jacket and trowsers of cloth nearly black, trowsers much worn and patched, mixt grey stockings, odd, one footed with yard of a darker color, old linen shirt, and an old hat. Whoever takes up said negro and delivers him to me shall have the above reward.
George Farmer.
