we'll made, high forehead and large fat
nose: had on when he went away grey
coat and pantaloons, but as he was well
provided with cloathing Of various kinds,
it is probable he may have changed his
dress. 1t is believed he went off with
his wife, who it appears lett Richmond at
the same time she is very black, and, I
believe, somewhat pitted with the small
oox, talks a great deal, of short stature,
and rather thick made. Ned is very art
full, and may probably attempt to pass for
a free man he has a down look when
spoken to. The above reward will be gi-

in either place, and all reasonable ey-
