RAN AWAY FROM the subscriber, about the 25th of April last, a Negro Boy by the name of JOE, aged about 22 years, 5 feet 8 or 10 inches high, a Carpenter by trade--served his time with Mr. John R. Cary, and is well known in the City of Raleigh, having worked there some time with Mr. Wm. Jones. He carried with him a number of clothes, amongst them a grey Broadcloth Coat and pair of Top Boots, and some Carpenter's Tools. It is supposed he is making for Petersburg. A generous Reward will be given to any person who will take him up, lodge him in Jail, and give me information of the same. ISAAC HILLIARD. Mill Brook, Halifax County, N.C. May 20, 71 3w
