Twenty Dollars Reward.
RANAWAY from the subscriber, living in Maidenhead, near Trenton, N.J. on the night of the 11th instant, A NEGRO MAN named Philip, but likely may change his name, about 22 years of age, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, stout built, yellow complexion, his right fore fingers stiff, had on when he went away a snuff colored fear-nought great coat, blue coattee, brown homespun waistcoat, and drab pantaloons, old shoes and new rorum hat. He is very talkative, fond of company and dancing, but temperate in the use of liquor. Whoever will take up said Negro and return him to his master, or secure him in gaol so that he can obtain him again, shall receive the above reward and reasonable charges.
