&2NN Reward.

AS \ am convinced, by a late disclosure of
facts. that nv negro man NORR AGE, has been
engage for a considerable tune past, as a regular agent
in the commission of more highhanded thefts, than ]
vas first aware of, to the great loss OF my neighbors
and myself; and as | believe the dread OF further legal
punishment occasioned his elopement on the 10Th OF
November last; I therefore deem IT an imperative du-
q to awaken the vigilance of the community at large,
and particularly of Sher,tfs, Coustabies, and Poiiceof
6cers. thu, this artful sconndrel may be apPrehended,
and that he and his concealed coz partners IN guilt, ma.
he brought to condigu punishment do believe, 1t
will appear, upon his apprehension, that others more
guilty than himself, have accomplished, by his agency,
their dishonest purposes. For fear OF Inaccufacs IN,
INV last advertisement, I win again describe his person.
Norr,re is about $ feet 6 inches high, about "a years
old. of \ dark complexion, yet noto q deep black CO.
lor. rerulsr features, somewhat bow legged, yet OF a
pood figure for his height. Ills dress 1t the time he
S;sappeared, was y roundabout and pantaioons, OF a
dart twilled domestic cloth, tie had a variety OF other
clothing, and perhaps q supply of money, the fruits OF
his Galoniors agencies. The marks, however, OF thir-
ty.sye stripes, but lately inflicted BY order of the civil
authority. for an atrocious theft, supposed at the time
20 be his first and only offence. will still show on his
back If examined Ills sober habits and apparent H.
deity, induced me to grant hum all reasonable indui-
,,ence nreyious to this. He has been trained from his
infancy as a house servant, waiter, market man, car
r;age driver, SO. He has attended me in Baltimore,
Annapolis. and other parts of Maryland. But he is
mach better known in the District, and particularly
in Alexandria, whittier he has for years, repeatedly
gone to market, and purchased goods tor family use.
EHrurn this date, If he betakenin the district or within
ten miles of its line, or within any part of Prince
GEORGES County, Twill give fifty dollars; fin any 9TH
er part of Maryland or Virginia, one hundred dollars;
and If in any other place, Stste or ,Couatry, whatever.
one hundred md hft, dollars, besides all reasonable
costs and charges, if secured that l get him again.
Fifty dollars are also offered for the legal con vlction
,f nv nerson attempting TO promote, byforged papers
ar otherwise, his escape. Against all persons harbor-
me- or employing said negro, I will enforce the tIil II
