Twenty-four Dollars Reward.
RAN-AWAY from the subscribers on the 14th inst. a negro man named JACK, about 30 years old, short and well made, the middle finger of his right hand much enlarged, and rendered stiff by a severe sore which he had on it the past summer-- had on a short homespun grey coat, dark lion-skin waistcoat and tow trousers; he is the property of Hezekiah Smith, of Piscataway.
ALSO, a negro wench, about 18 years old, short and thick, her toes are sore-- had on a yellow linsey petticoat, striped linen short gown; she is the property of John Woldron of Franklin township, county of Somerset. It is presumed they went away together. Whoever will take up said negroes and deliver them to either of the subscribers, or secure them in any goal so that their masters may get them again, shall be entitled to the above reward and reasonable charges, or 16 dollars for the man only, and 8 for the woman.

JOHN WOLDRON.
