One Hundred Dollars Reward.
RAN-AWAY from the Subscriber, at Trenton, New Jersey, two negro men, named Azor and Alexander, and a negro woman named Fifi. Azor has been gone 3 or 4 months, is a tall stout fellow, about 41 years of age, speaks the English language very imperfectly, being from St. Domingo, and may be easily known by a peculiarity in his walk, an impediment in his speech, and by his front teeth being turned with their edges in front. Alexander has been living for some time past with Mr. Hunter, at Flemington, and went off from that place on Tuesday night last, he is a tall, slender, well made man, about 28 or 30 years of age, and also speaks the English language imperfectly, being from St. Domingo; he is very black, and took with him many clothes; among them he had a sailor's jacket and a pair of pantaloons of plaid cotton. Fifi, the woman, has been absent for 2 or 3 months, and is perhaps somewhere in Pennsylvania; she is a short, fat, round faced wench, speaks the English language badly and is neat in her dress and appearance. Whoever will take up the above slaves and lodge them in Trenton gaol, shall receive 100 dollars reward, or in proportion for either. If confined in any other place 30 dollars will be given for each, on applying to Andrew S. Hunter, Esq, Flemington, or to Dr. Bellville, Trenton, New Jersey.
