VXTHEREAS lam convinced, by a late disclosure
w facts, that my negro man NORRAGE, has been
engaged for considerable time past, as regular agent
in the commission Of more highhandcd thetts, than
was first of, to the great loss OF my neghbor
and myself and as believe the dread of further legal
punishment occasioned his elopement on the 10Th Of
November last; therefore deem it an imperative d.
ty to awaken the vigilance of the community at large
and particularly of Sherfs, Constables, and Poice0,
6cers, that this atful scoundre may be apprehendct
and that he and his concealed copartners in guilt, hay
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 inaccuracy in

dark twilled domestic cloth. lie had variety Of othe
clothing, and perhaps supply OF money, the fruits
his felonous agencies. The marks, however, of thr
tyve stripes but lately inflicted by order of the civil
authority, for atrocious theft, supposed at the time
to be his first and only offence, will still show on his
back if examined. His sober habits and apparent f.
deity, induced me to grant him all reasonable ndul
gence previous to this. He has been trained 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 Alexandra, whittier he has for years. repesedly
gone to market, and purchased goods for family use
From this date if he be taken in the District or within
