dcmv in Prince Edward county, on
the 231] Of last March, two bright bay
horses, one of them about 10 years old,
the other older. 'The old horse has a
drooping rump, his , sides rubbed with
drawing, and branded on one of his huc
tocks with a large T. The other horse
has a flar in his forehead (if any brand,
sorgfn) and has a scrupe down his face,
which I suppose is still to be seen. There
were horses seen not far from mr. Pau-ling
Andcrjun's in Amelia, which ! suppc-sc to
have been these. Pcrhaps they may go
through Cumbcrland, on their way hnmc,
or endeavour to cross over at Rncly Ridge.
I will give ; DOLLARS to be informed of
them so that ] mity get them again, and
. lo_ DOLLARS isbmught home to me in
King William, near Aylctt's warehousc, or
one half for either horse.
