VyTHEREAS am convinced, by late Disclosure,
w facts, that my negro man NORRAGE, has been
engaged for considerable time past as reguaragsn
in the commission of more hghhanded thefts. than
first OF, to the great loss OF nv neighbo
and myself and as believe the dread Of further legal
punishment occasioned his eopement on the lOfo ,;
November last; therefore deem it an imperative d
ty to awaken the vigilance of the community at lr
and particularly of Sherifs Constables, and Poccn,
6cers, that this artfu scoundrel may be apprehende
and that he and his concealed copartners in guilt n,
be brought to condign punishment. do believe
will appear, upon his apprehension, that Others more
guilty than himself have accomplished by his apency
their dishonest purposes. For fear of naccracy IN
my last advertisement viii again describe his person
Norrage is about feet inches high about 81 YEAR
old, of dark complexion, yet not Of deep black CO.
lor; regular features, somewhat bow.legged vet of
good figure for his height Ills dress al the time he
disappeared, was a roundabout and pantaloons, of
dark twiled domestic cloth. He had variety of Other
clothing, and perhaps supply of money the fruits Of
his falonious agencies The marks, however, of thu
yiye stripes, but lately inflicted by order of the civil
authority, for atrocous theft, supposed at the time
to be his first and only offence, will still show on HI,
back if examined. Ills sober habits and apparent f.
deity, induced me to grant him all reasonable indul
gence previous to this. He has been trained from bs
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 !,
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 or within
ten miles Of its line within any part of Prince
Georges County, Twill give fifty dollars; fin any 9th
or part of Maryland or Virginia, hundred dollars
and if in any other place, State Country whatever
one hundred and fifty dollars, besides all reasonable
