sed they have gone to the westward: Celia
was born free, and had with her notarial
certificate of her freedom, and description
of her person. Her mother, the subscriber,
is much afflicted BY her manner OF going a.
way, and desires that any humane people
who may chance TO meet with her, will
persuade her 10 return, being apprehensive
that when she gets into strange country,
where she will be unknown and out OF the
reach of her friends and those who would
be likely TO protect Der, attempts may be
made by some avaricicus and unprncipied
persons, 10 deprive her of her liberty, and
sell her for slape. Should any such at
tempts be made, fifty dollars reward will
be paid to any person who will commune
cate such information as shall lead to the
conviction of the offenders, and the recove-
ry of the woman.
