RANAWAY FROM the subscriber living on Rocky River in Union county, N. C., on Saturday night last, a negro man about 30 years old, named SOLOMON. Solomon weighs about 180 pounds, copper color, about 6 feet high, a burn scar on the inside part of one of his legs below the knee, has rather a down look, a slight hesitance of speech, and is a pretty good house carpenter. The subscriber believes he is aiming for a free State, aided by some white person, and thinks it probable he will try to pass through Virginia. A reward of $25 will be paid for his confinement in some jail so that the subscriber gets him again. JOHN A. NANCE. Gourd Vine, Union co., N. C., Dec. 9, 1852. ALSO On the same night and from the same neighborhood, and doubtless in company, a boy named EDMUND, brother to Solomon, the property of Jordan Kenneday. Edmund is about 36 years old, black, quick spoken, broad and high forehead, very bold looking, about five feet eight inches high. A reward of $25 will also be paid for the confinement of Edmund, or a liberal reward for any information which may lead to his apprehension. JORDAN KENNEDAY. Gourd Vine, Union co., Dec. 9, 1852.-4tp31
