Thirty Dollars Reward.
RANAWAY from the subscriber on Monday the 11th inst., a Negro Man named JIM, about 5 feet 11 inches high, 22 years old, tolerable black, a down sneaking look, knock kneed — had on a lightish grey linsey sailor jacket, under jacket and trousers, all of the same pieces one knee of the trousers patched with stuff of different kind and colour; also a linsey shirt. He is an old offender and probably now carries marks upon his back and has committed thefts since he ranaway. The above reward will be given for returning him to the subscriber, or confining him to any jail so that he may be got again.
