TWENTY DOLLARS REWARD.
ABSCONDED fom the subscriber yester-day evening, a negro man by the name of JOSHUA, about 32 or 33 years of age, 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high, has a small blemish in one of his eyes (as well as I recollect in the left,) is well made, and has long been accustomed to the driving of a carriage and taking care of horses—He has probably been enticed away by some disorderly persons, who may endeavor to secret him.
All masters of vessels and others, are forewarned carrying him off or harboring him, and the above reward will be paid to any person who will deliver him into the jail of this city, or to the subscriber, at No. 132 Greenwich-street.
