TWENTY DOLLARS REWARD.
RAN-AWAY from the subscriber, in the night of Saturday the 12th instant, a very handsome Negro boy named ISAAC CORTLAND. He is about eighteen years of age, 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high, well made, smart and active, walks erect, and is almost as black as one born in Africa, he took with him a superfine brown broadcloth coat, with white pearl buttons, having a single brilliant in the center, a jacket of the same cloth with balloon buttons, one dark purple narrow ribbed cotton coat, one green striped cashmere pattern vest, one pair of copperas colored check pantaloons, two new whitened homespun Shirts, one new cotton Shirt marked I C, one or two muslin Cravats, two pair of tow Trousers, one pair of hem-stockings, a pair new of shoes, and an old round Hat — also, a half worn grey bearskin great Coat half lined with green baize. Whoever takes up the said Negro, and shall secure him in any of the Gaols in the United States, and shall give notice thereof to the subscriber, so that he gets him again shall be entitled to the above reward; any intelligence communicated by the mail from Travellers or Ferrymen, will be thankfully acknowledged.
