VNTHEREAS lam convinced, by a late disclosure of
facts, that my negro man NORRAGE, has been
engaged for a considerable time past. as a regularagent
in the commission of more highhsnded thefts, than i
was first aware of, to the great loss OF my n~eighbors
and myself; and as | believe the dread of further legal
punishment occasioned his elopement on the 10th of
November last; | therefore deem 1t an imperative du-
.ty to awaken the vigilance OF the community at large,
and particularly of Sheriffs, Constables, and Police of
fcers, that this artful sconndrel may be apprehended.
and that he and ms concealed CO. partners in guilt, may
be brought to condign punishment. do believe, it
will appear, upon his apprehension, that others more
guilty than himself, have accomplished, by his agency,
their dishonest purposes. For fear OF maccuracy IN
my last advertisement, I win again describe his person.
Norrage is about S feet s inches high, about "a years
old, of a dark complexion, yet not of a deep black CO.
lor; regular features, somewhat bow-legged, yet OF a
good figure for his height. His dress at the time he
disappeared, was 4 roundabout and pantaloons, OF a
dark twilled domestic cloth. He had a variety of other
clothing, and perhaps a supply of money, the fruits of
his felonious agencies. The marks, however, of thir-
ty-6ve stripes, but lately inflicted by order of the civil
authority, for an 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.
deEty. induced me to grant him all reasonable indul-
gence previous to this. He has been trained from his
infancy as n house servant, waiter, market man, car
rage driver, SC. 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, il he be taken in 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, State or. Country, whatever,
one hundred and fifty dollars, besides all reasonable
costs and charges, if secured that I get him again
FIT, dollars are also offered for the legal con vsction
of any person attempting to promote, by forged papers
or otherwise, his escape. Against all persons harbor-
ing or employing said negro, I will enforce the full RI
gor of the law. HID. HArTON,

1t being now more than twenty years since I was
first acquainted with the saddling business, and from
near six years trial of my Spring Saddle four years be-
fore it was patented, in order to prove them, and near
two years since on public trial, l can now with conf
dence say, that a saddle made on this principle, is bet.
ter in every respect than a saddle made in any other
way, either with or without springs, and | will give ff-
ty dollars TO any man that can prove otherwise, or
make any reaso able objection why il cannot be done;
and | will give one hundred dollars for an Improvement

These saddles are made complete at from twelve to
forty five dollars. The springs are equally as well a.
dapted TO LANES saddles us any other; and any one

estion were made, and when they receive the saddle,

Sadaling 10 Perfection.

TNHOMAS G. P~RETrYMAN has lately Patented,
Il and is now Manufacturing, a Spring Saddle, much
superior to any that have hitherto been offered to the
public. This improvement consists in the suspension
OF the whole seat by two c springs, similar to a gig
spring, which being screwed on the back part OF the
cantle ofthe saddle, receives an iron bar, forming the
sweep of the cantle; thus preserving IT from receiving
any injury by a horse rolling in the saddles and making
the saddle tree more firm than it would otherwise be;
which cannot fail to give ease to both horse and rider.
Aframe also enters the back of the cantle ofthe saddle,
calculated to raise the valice or portmanteau. and Keep
it entirely clear of the horses back. This can be put
on or removed in a moment.
lnorder to prove to the public the superiority ofthcse
Saddles, he will give a few extracts OF letters from
those who have them in use-among whom IS the late
President of the United States:
T. G. Prettyman: Sir-I find, on trial ofyour Patent
Spring Saddle, that it corresponds with the ; view you
