ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD. RUNAWAY FROM THE SUBSCRIBER, some short time since, my two negro fellows, JIM and WILLIE.The former is of a yellowish complexion, spare built, about five feet ten inches in height, and has lost the ends of the fore and middle fingers of the left hand, is a good Cooper and Carpenter. Willie is a stout black fellow, about five feet ten or eleven inches in height, has large feet and is quick spoken. They are supposed to be lurking between the town of Wilmington and Federal Point. I will give for their apprehension and safe delivery to me, fifty dollars each, and twenty-five dollars in addition for testimony sufficient to convict any white person of harboring them. JOHN H. HILL. Nov. 6th, 1858 53-1w--11-tf
