UTHEREAS lam convinced, by late disclosure
w facts, that my negro man NORRAGE, has been
engaged for considerable time past regular ag,
in the commission of more highhanded thefts, than
was first aware Of to the great loss Of my neghbo,
and myself; and as believe the dread of further len,
punishment occasoned his elopcment on the Ion q.
November last; therefore deem it an imperative d.
ty to awaken the vigilance of the community at large
and particularyof Sherffs, Constables, and Police Of
cers that this arful scoundrcl may be apprchended
and that he and his concealed copartners in guilt, ma,
be brought to condign punishment do believe,
will appear upon his apprehension, that others mon.
guilty than himself have accomplished, by his agency
their dishonest purposes For fear Of inacc,lracy
my last advertisement win again describe his person
Eorfage is about feet inches high, about "a wear,
DID, of dark complexion yet not of deep black c.
lori regular features, somewhat bowlegged, yet Of
good figure for his height. His dress ut the time he
disappeared, was roundabout and pantaloons, of /,
dark twcd domestic cloth He had variety of Other
clothing and perhaps supply Of money the fruits @.
his felonious agencies. The marks however, Of thr
ty-fvs stripes but lately inflicted by order of tue civil
authority for atrocious theft supposed at the time
to be his first and only offence. will still show on his
back if examined. Ills sober habits and apparent f.
deity, induced to grant him all reasonable indu
gence previous to this. He has been trained from his
infancy as house servant, waiter, market man, car
risgc driver, &c. He has attended me in Baltimore
Annapolis, and other parts OF Maryland. But heis
much better known in the District, and particularly
in Alexandra, whittier he has for years, repeatedly
gone to market, and purchased goods for family use
From this date, if he be taken in the District within
ten miles of its line, or within any part of Prince
Georges County, Twill give fifty dollars fin any 9th.

and if in any other place. State Country, whatever
one hundred and fifty dollars, besides all reasonable
