FOR apprehending and bringing home JACOB,
a runaway negro man belonging to the sub
scriber in Glozmstzr county, who abscomled the
zlst of Smtmzbzr last. He is about 6 feet high,
3'1 years old, fiendes made, thin visage, and ra
ther inclined to a yellowish com lexion; had on
when he went away an old duffill) coat dyed with
maple bark, Virginia cloth jacket striped and
keriey wove, blue cloth breeches, white yarn
stockings, and old shoes. ]: is more than probable
he may be lurking about .Ymn's creek, being
much acquainted with the free mulattoes in that
neighbourhood, and perhaps change his dress and
endeavour to pass for a free man.
