$500 REWARD. I WILL GIVE THE ABOVE REWARD for the apprehension and delivery to me, or their confinement in any jail where I can get them, my two boys, BEN and HANDY, or one half the sum for each. Ben is about 45 years old, blind in one eye, a little bald, and by trade a Cooper; he has been out for over a year. He has a wife at Council's (now Mr. H. Nutt's) on the North West. Handy is a boy about 24 years old, very black, about 5 feet 10 ionches or more in height, round shouldered, and a little knock kneed. He has a wife at Mrs. Boudinot's, 10 miles from town, where I think he is at this time. Both he and Ben came from Mr. Sam'l Frink's estate, where they have a mother. They may be lurking in that vicinity. S. F. POTTER. March 28. 170-tf
