15 Dollars Reward. RAN away from the subscriber, on the 12th day of March last, a negro fellow by the name of Jack; he is of a dark complexion, likewise short and well sett--by trade a Butcher. Any person that will apprehend and secure the same, so that I may get him again shall receive the above reward. As he has relations down about Bath, and a wife in Washington, belonging to the estate of Mr. Stephen Cambreleng, dec. it is very possible that he may be lurking about these places. JAMES R. EMERY. May 11.
