FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD. RANAWAY from subscriber about the first of January, 1838, a negro man named Henry, a light mulatto, 36 or 38 years old, 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high, thick set, heavy beard when long, thin hair on his head, nearly straight, a tinner by trade, and can read tolerably. It is supposed that he took with him a McKinney road coalt, five years old, branded on the nigh shoul-der and hip I. L. He has also a black spot on one of his buttocks, and white streak in his face. The negro probably has endeavored to get on some boat, as he would pass very well for a Spaniard. A liberal reward will be given for the apprehension of said negro, if secured so that I get him again, and all reasonable expenses paid, if delivered to me in this place. ISRAEL LORING. Port Gibson, Feb 24, 1838— w3t 31
