100 DOLLARS REWARD.


ON Tuesday morning, between Fredericks-
~ burg and my plantation in the upper end
of Stafford, NEGRO MAN, and the MARE
on which he was riding both belonging to me,
were stolen by man who seems to have been
a stranger in this part of the country. When
seen in possession Of the Slave and ofthe Mare,
he was inquirng his way to Stafford Court
House. He is described to me as a person be-
tween fifty and sixty years of age, with re-
markedly white hair; his stature stout and well
set He wore broWnish cOlored stuff cloak.
The negro is between twenty-five and thirty
years Of age, as we'll as is remembered; stout in
his person, and about five feet ten or eleven in
ches high has a drawing manner of talking,
and appears to be much less sagacious than he
really is His name is Jack. His dress was a
blue cloth cap, a grey great coat, and his under
clothing drab CLOTH
The Mare is a fine large sorrel, without any
spot of white about her, unless perhaps there
may be some few white hairs in the centre of
the forehead not covering more than the size Of
afour-pence-halfpenny She is as well as is
recollected, going on seven years ofage; is re-
markedly long in her body; has long tall and
it is remarkable where it joins the rump. There
may be discerned in the film of one of her eyes
an incision which was made year or two ago
to cure the hooks.
One Hundred Dollars Reward will be given for
therecovery of the above Slave and Mare or in
the proportion offour and two for the recovery OF
either. JNO. TAYLOE LOMAA.

A tried recipe for burns.-Keep on
hand saturated solution of alum, (four
ounces in quart of hot water dip cot.
ton cloth in this solution and lay it imme.
diately on the burn. AS soon as it shall
have become hot or dry, replace it by an
other, and thus continue the compress as
often as it dries, which it will, at first, do
very rapidly. The pain Immediately
ceases, and in twenty.four hours under
this treatment the wound will be healed
especially ifthe solution be applied before
the blisters are formed. The astringenl
and drying quality ofthe alum completely
prevent them. The deepest burns, those
caused by boiling water, drops of melted
metal, phosphorus, gunpowder, fulminat-
ing powder, &c. have all been cured by
ihis specife.--Idem.
