Twenty Dollars Reward.
RAN-AWAY from the Subscriber, on Monday the 20th of December last, a NEGRO MAN named Jack. He is about thirty-three years of age, five feet four inches high, a good looking fellow, and respectful in his address — has an aquiline nose, large whiskers, and wears gold rings in his ears. He took with him the following articles of clothing, (viz): A blue surtout coat, a green coat, a pair of brown pantaloons, a brown jacket, lined with red flannel, a new fur hat, a new pair of shoes, and several other articles. He is a French Negro, but speaks the English language in a broken manner. The above reward will be given, with all reasonable charges, to any one who will take up the said Negro and return to his master, at Mr. Grandmont's in Trenton.
