One Hundred and Forty Dollars Reward.

North-East, Cxcil County, Maryland, a Mulatto
Man named STEPHEN, about five feet fix or seven
inches high, twenty-three years of age, down look, a
four countenance, a small impediment in one eye, and
is vefy apt to swear. Also a Negro Woman named
DINAH, pretty lusty, about forty years of age, has
a down look and flutters in her speech. -Their deaths
are uncertain, as they went to the Brit sh forces when in
Wilmington. Whoever secures the said flares, or ei

TWENTY DOLLARS REWARD.
RAN A WAY about two months ago, from the
fubferiber, living near Chester Town, ' Kent Coun
ty, Maryland, a Negro Man named DICK, about five
feet eight or nine inches high, of a yellow complexion,
round shouldered, and remarkably flout and bony. I
have some reason to believe he is either in Wilmington
01 Philadelphia, as he was met on that road making up
the country. He is a very artful fellow, and generally
goes by the name of Richard Wood, but frequently
dresses himfelf in womens cloaths and then ^)ls himfelf
Polly Wood, and the deception is not easily detected as
he can cook, spin, knit, waffi and iron as well as most
women. He affe&s to have fits, which Ido not believe
to be real. Whoever will secure the said Negro in any
gaol, so that I may have him again, shall receive the
above reward, or if brought home, reasonable charges,
paid by DEAN CANNADAY.
