$25 REWARD. RANAWAY from the subscriber, living at Wil-low Springs, Miss., on last Christmas day, a negro boy named GREEN. He is 23 years old, about six feet high, bright yellow, heavy beard and some-what pigeon-toed ; he is a Tanner by trade, but has worked as a Gin Wright for the last twelve months, reads and writes tolerably well, is a shrewd, cunning boy, and will probably try to make his way to Ken-tucky, where he was raised. I will give the above reward for his delivery to me, or his apprehension and confinement in jail, or such information as wil enable me to get him, if addressed to me at Willow Springs, Miss. JOHN J. HIGDON. The Louisville Journal and New Orleans Pi-eavune will publish to amount of $3 each and send bill to this office. jan15—w4w
