RAN-AWAY from the subscriber on the night of the 24th instant, a black man named BILL, about twenty-five years of age, 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high — his common dress, a blue jacket and trousers; took with him a long brown coat, and white sarge shirts with linen collars, he has a large scar on the calf of his leg, occasioned by a cut with a seythe. At the same time a black woman named HANNAH, who he calls his wife — she is rather of a large size, a clumsy gait, but very pleasant and good-natured. Her common clothes a blue cloth jacket and petticoats, took with her a red calico gown, two white muslin gowns, a yellow barcelona handkerchief and blue bonet, a gilt neck chain and locket, with many other things. They undoubtedly are gone together. Whoever will take them up and lodge them in goal, so that their master may get them again, shall be entitled to TWENTY DOLLARS reward for the two, or TEN DOLLARS for either of them, by the Subscriber.
