WHEREAS am convinced, by a late disclosure
w facts, that my negro man NORRAGE, has been
engaged for considerable time past, as regnarasei
in the commission Of more hglihanded thefts, thsnI
was first aware Of, to the great loss OF my neigbo,
and myself, and as believe the dread of further legal
punishment occasioned his elopement the lO,he
November last; therefore deem it an imperative d..
ty to awaken the vigilance of the community at large
and particularly of Sherffs, Cohsrasles, and Poccn
Hcers that this artful scoundre may be appreheniej
and that he and his concealed copartners in guilt nav
be brought to condign punishment do believe
will appear, upon his apprehension, that Others moe
guilty than himself have accomplished by his agcncv
their dishonest purposes. For fear OF lnaccuracy in
my last advertisement, win again describe his person
Norrage is about feet inches high, about "a Years
old, Of dark complexion, yet not of deep black Co.
lor; regular features, somewhat bOwegged, yet Of
good figure for his height. Ills dress at the time he
disappeared, was a roundabout and pantaoOrs, of
dark twilled domestic cloth. He had variety of other
clothing, and perhaps supply of money, the fruits Of
his felonous agencies. The marks, however, Of thr
tyvc stripes, but lately inflicted by order Of the civil
authority, for an arocious theft, supposed at the time
to be his first and only offence, will still show on his
back if examined. His sober habits and apparen, E.
deity, induced me to grant him all reasonable indul
gcnce previous to this. He has been trainsd from his
infancy as house servant, waiter, market man. car.
rage driver, &c. 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, 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 Prime.
Georges County, will give fifty dollars; fin any 9th
err part of Maryland Virginia, one hundred dollars.
and If any other place, State or Country. whatever
one hundred and fifty dollars besides all reasonable
costs and charges if secured that get him again.
Fifty dollars also offered for the legal nviSton
of any person attempting to promote by forged papers
or otherwise, his escape. Against all persons harbor
ing employing said negro. will enforce the fulr.
gor of the law.
