Three Hundred Dollars Reward. RAN away from the subscribers on Monday the 15th instant; two Negroes, Duncan and Jane. Duncan is about six feet high, stout and able, weighs about 175 pounds, dark color but not black, is polite, smart and intelligent, and is a tanner; altogether he is a No. 1 boy. Jane is tall for a woman, not very stout, and unsound. We believe they were induced to, and aided in their escape by some white man and carried off in a wagon, carrying everything with them. We will give two hundred dollars ($200) for the apprehension of Duncan, and one hundred dollars ($100) for Jane, or their confinement in any jail so that we can get them. Duncan is about 38 years old, Jane 32--husband and wife. CAIN & RUFFIN. February 24. 34-
