TWENTY DOLLARS REWARD.
RAN-AWAY from the subscriber, on the 5th of July inst., a negro man named FRANK, about forty years old, dressed in a nankeen sailor jacket and trousers, or blue short coat and homespun trousers, took with him considerable many clothes, which makes it difficult to describe his dress. Frank is a short chunky fellow, full faced big mouth, thick lips, and flat nose pock marked; he is about 5 feet high or more — Whoever will return him to his master, or confine him in any jail, so that his master may get him, shall receive the above reward and reasonable charges.
MATTHIAS DENMAN.
July 12, 1802.
