f Fredericksburg, now of Baltimore, and I am told
was seen making for Alexandria, with the intention of taking the stage
thither: HE IS ARTFUL CAN BOTH READ AND WRITE AND IS A GOOD FIDDLER; it is
therefore probable that he may attempt a forgery and pass as a free man. He
is most commonly known by the name of _Jack Taylor_, was originally from
Essex County, has a father living there, and it is said he has a wife, the
property of Mrs. Dalrymple of Dumfries. Whoever secures him in any jail so
that I get him again shall have Ten Dollars Reward, and if taken above
sixty and not more than one hundred miles distant, and brought home, shall
receive Twelve Dollars, and for any greater distance, Fifteen Dollars, with
all reasonable expenses borne. Masters of Vessels and stage drivers are
forewarned carrying him out of the State, under penalty of the law.

TWENTY DOLLARS REWARD

Ran-away from the Subscriber's plantation at Ponpon, about the beginning of
last September, a young _Mulatto Fellow_ named CYRUS, about five feet six
or seven inches high, 25 years old, very short and strong built. The said
fellow is very well known about town, as he served four years
apprenticeship to Mr. Donaldson, house carpenter. IT IS PROBABLE THAT HE
HAS FORGED A PASS FOR HIMSELF, AS HE WRITES; he sometimes calls himself
James and says he belongs to Mr. Savage. Any person apprehending and
delivering him to the Master of the Work House, or at the Subscriber's on
South Bay, shall receive the above reward and all reasonable expenses paid
