Fifteen Dollars Reward
RAN-AWAY from the subscriber on the 22d instant, a NEGRO MAN, named Tom, twenty-one years of age, about five feet six or seven inches high, broad shouldered, walks wide and appears to be somewhat stiff, has short hair, and black skin. Had, on when he went away, a rorum hat half worn, with a large buckle, a light colored linsey round about, dark striped vest, and tow trousers, old shoes, and thread stockings; and took with him a small bundle of summer clothes. It is supposed that he is in or near Trenton, as his father, a free man by the name of black David, lives there. It is also known that he has been there since he went away. Any person who takes up said Negro, and securing him in Trenton gaol, or any gaol in the state, shall be entitled to the above reward.
