WHEREAS lam convinced, by late disclosure
w facts, that my negro man NORR AGE, has been
engaged for considerable time past regular agent
in the commission Of more highhanded thefts, than
was first aware Of to the great loss of my neghbors
and myself; and as believe the dread of further leg1
punishment occasioned his elopement on the l0th Of
November last; therefore deem il an imperative u
ty to awaken the vigilance of the community at large
and particularly of Shers, Constables, and Police or
fcers, that this artfu scoundrel may bcapprchendcd
and that he and his concealed co.partners in guilt NAV
be brought to condgn punishment. l do believe. !,
will appear, upon his apprehension, that Others more
guilty than himself, have accomplished, BY his agency
their dishonest purposes. For fear of inacculacy in
my last advertisement win again describe his person
Norage is about feet inches high, about q wears
old, OF adark complexion, yet not of deep black CO.

good figure for his height. His dress at the time Ike
disappeared, was roundabout and pantaoons, of
dark twilled domestic CLOTH lie had variety of o r
clothing, and perhaps supply Of money, the fruits of
his fclonous agencies. The marks, however of thir
tyve stripes, but lately inflicted by order of the civil
authority, for an atrocious theft supposed at the time
to be his first and only offence. will still show on his
back IT examined His sober habits and apparent e.
deity, induced me TO grant him all reasonable inul
gence previous to this He has been trained from his
infancy as house servant, waiter, market man, car.
rage driver SC. He has attended me in Baltimore,
Annapolis, and other parts Of Maryland. But he IS
much better known in the District and particularly
in Alexandria, whittier he has for years, repeatedl,
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, Twill give fifty dollars fin any o,..
err part Of Maryland Virginia, one hundred dollars;
and fn any other place, State or Country, Whatever
one hundred and fifty dollars, besides all reasonable
and charges. if secured that get him again.
Fifty dollars are Also offered for the legal con yicon
Of any person attempting to promote, by forged papers
