THIRTY DOLLARS REWARD. RAN AWAY from the Subscriber, on the 19th day of October, a NEGRO MAN, named FORTEN, but has for some time gone by the name of Forten Bayley: -- 29 years of age, of a slender make, but remarkably strong, is considerably marked with the small pox, ... . speaks good English, and reads and writes tolerably well; he understands taking care of horses and driving a carriage, but is particularly handy with joiners tools, at which business he will probably engage to work. [his clothing; return to James Alner, 171 William-street]
