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 Ihouldered, and remarkably stout and bony. I
have Some reason to believe he is either in Wilmington
or 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 himfelfin womens cloaths and then calls himfelf
Polly Wood, and the deception is not easily detected as
he can cook, spin, knit, wash and iron as well as most
women. He afeas to bave fits, which Ido not believe
to be real. Whoever will fecuie the said Negro in any

above reward, or if brought home, reasonable charges,
paid by DEAN CANNADAY.
