full face, and brown complexion. She took with her,
her two children-the eldest, a girl 4 or 5 years old, and
the youngest about 8 months old, with a bright complexion.
IL is supposed that the husband OF Betsey, a negro man
who calls himself RICHARD SMITH, belonging to the

years OF age, thick and well set, has a thin face, high fore
head, bushy hair, brown complexion, and as well rs re-
nenbered, has a scar on his forehead. As two Of the
brothers OF Richard have been successful in making
their escape TO some Of the Northern States, it is pre-.
sumed that these Runaways will attempt TO follow them,
and they no doubt have have forged free papers. The
man was originally from Caroline, and the woman from
Loudoun, and their route may therefore lie through one OF
those counties-but they will most probably attempt 10
