$100 REWARD.
RUNAWAY from the Narrows of Harpeth on the last of Ferburyar: came to White's Bend where he spent Sunday, the 1st of March, w ithout manifesting himself to me: that night crossed the river at Hillsboro'. JACOB is a round smooth faced fellow, about 22 years old, low of stature, but stout and strongly formed. He is a tolerable blacksmith. He may have got in company with a runaway negro Jesse, formerly the property of Mr. Rape of Har-peth, and for which negro there is a high reward offerd, or he may have got into a boat under some pretence. I will give the above reward to any per-son that will lodge him in Nashville Jail, or deliver him to me in White's bend. M. BELL.
