Forty Dollars Reward.
RANAWAY from the farm of the subscriber in Monmouth county, New Jersey, on the 14th February last, a Negro Man named Adam about thirty-two years of age, five feet five inches high, has rather a thin visage a small scar on his left eyebrow, and another on his forehead a little above the same eyebrow (not really seen without close examination) rather slim made and a little bow legged, his great toe joints large, especially the one on his right foot, wears his hair tied, although, curly as other blacks generally are, takes much pains to make it straight, sometimes cueing it, has a variety of clothes with him which he may change. Whoever takes up said Negro and secures him in any goal in the United States, and gives information thereof to his master, shall be entitled to the above reward and all reasonable charges, by William Wikoff.
