Ten Dollars Reward. RUN-AWAY from the subscriber,a negro fellow by the name of JOHN; he is about five feet ten or eleven inches high, likely and well made, being a carpenter by trade and having worked for some time past in Town, it is probable that he may lurk within the same. The above reward will be paid to any person who will deliver him to me at my Plantation, or confine him in Jail so that I get him. JOHN POISSON. Wilmington, April 15, 1806
