Ran away, on Friday morning, the 22d instant, from Walter Dollis’s, in Back-River Neck, a Negro Man, belonging to the subscriber, named WILL, he is about 5 feet 8 inches high, thin made, and stoops a little in the shoulders, is a little pock-marked, and has a remarkable Roman nose, uncommon for a Negro, about 40 years of age, is a very good sawyer, and has worked at that business in different ship-yards, at Swan Harbour and Fell’s Point. Had on when he went away, an old white shirt, linsey jacket, and kersey breeches, dyed a yellowish brown, with white yarn stockings and good shoes; he took with him a small bright bay Mare, about twelve and half hands high, rising 4 years old, a natural pacer, has a small lump on her jaw, by it being broke when young; also, a saddle and bridle, and saddle-cloth, the saddle half worn, with pewter nails before, and brass behind, the pad mended on one side, and one of the stirrups has been broke and mended again, the saddle-cloth linsey, striped with broad black stripes, which are across the cloth. Whoever will secure the above Negro, with the Mare, saddle and bridle, shall be entitled to the above Reward, of Eight Dollars, for them all, or Four Dollars for the Negro, and Four for the Mare, Saddle and Bridle, with reasonable charges, if delivered to William Mattox of Back-River Neck, or the subscriber, on Fell’s Point, Baltimore.
