From the Democratic Press, February 10.
We have ascertained from the most authentic
source, THE CAUSE Of the late Fire at Mr..
RICHARDS. He had in his service, young
woman, Rebecca, who had been, bound TO him,
had served out her time, and had lived in the
family about year since her Indenture expired.
She was wholly unsupported OF any misbeha-
viour, much less was she looked upon as pur-
loiner. 1t had been well settled that the fire
had been communicated to the house, from
bureau, in one of the rooms which, with It's con-
tents, was burned up, save only the feet; and 1t
was concluded that the bureau had been set on
fire by spark from candle, which had acct
dentally fallen, among the ladies' light dresses,
on Monday, the evening before the day on which
the IRE broke out. 1t now appears that this
conclusion was not well founded.
On Thursday evening, two days after the hre,
a pair of shoes were wanted, and in the search
for them, bundle was found, tied up. twas
made up Of shawl, and other articles OF dress
which were known to have been laid away IN
the bureau, which was burned, and in which no
doubt was entertained, but the contents oil the
bundle had also been consumed. II was ascer-
tanned that the bundle was Rehecca's She
was from home, at the time il was found; but,
on her return, after many falsehoots, she &C
knowledged that she had been tolc, by whom she
would not say, that before her marriage, which
was about TO take place, she should take LON
Mr.. Richards quantity Of clothing, &c. &c.
In pursuance Of this advice, she, nothing 10th,
had opened the drawers Of the bureau, before
mentioned and fiom them had taken the cloth.
ing tied up in the bundle
In the hope to CONCEAL The robbery, she set
FIRE to piece of linen cloth, and put 1t into the
drawer: whence she had taken the things, i'll
the belief that il would make such evidences
of burning as would induce the belief that
the things she had stolen, had been consumed
in the drawer 1t is not thought that she IN
tended any further destruction of property; al
though it is evident, she was indi Herent what
consequences might follow, if she could cover
her retreat with the bundle. The hire thus
intentionally laid in the drawer, she never look
ed after, and il was not until about IL hours
after it was deposited, that i: sci hire TO the
house. and the alarm was given Had the hire
broken out, as il well might, in the night, TO
the loss Of property might have been added'
the loss of lives. Previously to her confession.
Rebecca was assured by Mr.. Richards, that ne
would no, prosecute her, if she made full con.
fession, which, having done, she ahsconded, ana

WHEREAS lam convinced, by late disclosure
w facts, that my negro man NOIlRAGE, has been
engaged for considerable time past as regular
in the commission of NOR. highhanded thefts, than
was first aware Of to the great loss OF my neghbors
and myself; and as believe the dread OF further legal
punishment occasioned his elopement on the 10Th OF
November last; therefore deem 1t an imperative du-
ty to awaken the vigilance Of the community at large,
and particularly of Shers, Constabcs' and Police or
cers thai this arful scoundrel may be apprehended,
and that he and his concealed copartners in guilt, may
be brought to condign punishment. do believe, it
will appear upon his apprehension, that others more
guilty than himself have accomplished by ms agency,
their dishonest purposes. For tear OF inaccuracy IN
my last advertisement win again describe his person.
Norrage is about feet inches high, about "a years
old, of dark complexion, yet not OF deep black CO.
lor; regular features, somewhat bowegged, yet of
good figure for his height His dress at the time he
disappeared, was 4 roundabout and pantaioons, OF
dark twed domestic cloth. He had variety OF other
clothing and perhaps supply OF money, the fruits of
his feonious agencies. The marks, however, of thir
tyfvc stripes, but lately inflicted by order OF the civil
authority for atrocious theft supposed at the time
to be his first and only offence will still show on his
back if examined His sober habits and apparent fl
deity, induced me to grant him all reasonable indu
gence previous to this He has been trained from his
infancy as a house servant waiter, mark man,
riage driver &c. He has attended me in Baltimore,
Annapolis, ard other parts of Maryland. But he is
much better known in the District, and particularly
in Alexandria, whittier he has tor years, repeatedly
gone to market, and purchased goods for family use
From this date, if he be taken in the District or within
ten miles of its line, within any part Of Prince
Georges County, will give fifty dollars; fin any 9th
er part of Maryland or Virginia, one hundred dollars;
and if any other place, State or Country, whatever
one hundred and fifty dollars, besides all reasonable
costs and charges, if secured that get him again
Fifty dollars are also offered for the legal conviction
of any person attempting to promote by forged papers
otherwise his escape. Against all persons karbor-
ing or employing said negro, will enforce the full ri
gor of the law.
