engaged for considerable time past regular agen,
in the commission of more higltanded thefts, than
first aware of, to the great loss of my neghbors
and myself and as believe the dread of further legal
punishment occasoned his elOpement on the 10th of
November last; therefore deem it IN imperative du.
ty to awaken the vigilance of the community at arge,
and particularly of Shers, Constabes and Police OF

and that he and his concealed coparners in guilt, nav
be brought to condign punishment. do believe, !,
will appear, upon his apprehension that others more
guilty than HIMSELF have accomplished, BY his agency
their dishonest purposes For fear OF naccuracy in
my last advertisement, win again describe his person.
Norrage is about feet inches high, about "a veal,
old, Of dark complexion, yet not OF deep black CO.
lor regular features, somewhat bow-legged yet of
good figure for his height. His dress at the time he
disappeared, was roundabout and pantaloons, of
dark twilled domestic cloth. lie had variety of other
clothing, and perhaps supply OF money, the fruits Of
his felonous agencies. The marks, however, of hr.
tyve stripes but lately inflicted by order of the civil
authority, for aroclous theft, supposed at the time
to be hs first and only offence, will still show on b.
back if examined. His sober habits and apparent
deity, inducedme to grant him all reasonable ndul
gence previous 10 this lie has been trained from bis
infancy as 4 house servant waiter, market man, car
riaee driver, SC. He has attended me in Baltimore

much better known in the District, and particularly
in Alexandria, 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, within any part of Prince
Georges County, will give fifty dollars; fin any o,t.
