CIRCUMSTANCES

TWENTY DOLLARS REWARD

Ran away from Mr. Davis Stone in Loudoun County, Virginia, on Saturday the
19th ult., a Virginia-born NEGRO MAN, named WILL between 51/2 and six feet
high, stout made twenty seven years old, of a black, complexion, round
shouldered and down look, when spoken to is apt to grin, is an artful
sensible fellow, much accustomed to driving a wagon, is good at any kind of
plantation business, tolerably ingenious, and I am informed, has a pass;
had on, and took with him one white hat, one white cassimere coat, a little
worn, one blue broadcloth ditto, almost new, a drab coloured coat and
breeches, quite new, one red waistcoat, one cassimere ditto, one striped
ditto, one pair cassimere breeches, a pair of fustian ditto, several
shirts, both coarse and fine, one pair of mixed yarn stockings, blue and
white, shoes with buckles, and the soles are nailed; it is probable that he
may change his clothes, AS HE HAS PLENTY OF MONEY. Whoever takes up the
said fellow and secures him in any gaol, so that I may get him again or
deliver him to me near the Falls Church shall receive the above Reward and
all reasonable charges, paid by

JOHN DULIN.

N.B. He crossed the ferry at Elk Ridge-Landing on his way to Baltimore, on
Sunday the third instant.

--> All masters of vessels and others are forewarned from harbouring him,
at their peril.

_Sixteen Dollars Reward_

Ran away, from the subscriber, on Monday evening last, a NEGRO LAD, named

square or heavy in his built, somewhat bow legged, and walks with a
considerable swing, has a full round face and thick lips, talks slow and
not very plain. Had on and took with him, a green broadcloth coat, almost
new, a new striped jacket, with sleeves in the fashion of a sailor's, a
striped crossbarred printed-cotton vest of an olive colour, buckskin
breeches, and striped silk and cotton hose; BUT AS HE IS KNOWN TO HAVE
TAKEN A CONSIDERABLE SUM OF MONEY WITH HIM, it is probable that he may
change his clothes. Whoever brings home said negro, or secures him in gaol,
shall receive the above Reward and all reasonable charges.

It is supposed that he will try to go to Philadelphia; and as he speaks a
little French and is known to have put a striped ribbon round his hat, it
is probable that he will attempt t
