100 DOLLARS REWARD.

ON Tuesday morning, between Fredericks-
" burg and my plantation, in the upper end
Of Stafford, a 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 inquiring his way to Stafford Court
House. He is described to me as person be-
tween fifty and sixty years of age, with re-
markably white hair; his stature stout and well
set He wore a brownish colored stuff cloak.
The negro is between twenty-five and thirty
years Of age, as well as is remembered; stout in
his person, and about five feet ten or eleven in
ches high has drawing manner of talking,
and appears TO be much less sagacious than he
really is. His name is Jack. His dress was d
blue cloth cap, grey great coat, and his under
clothing dTab cloth.
The Mare is 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
four-pence-halfpenny She is, as well as is
recollected, going on seven years ofage; is re-
markably long in her body has long tail, and
it is remarkable where it joins the rump There
may be dscerned in the film ofone of her eyes
an incison which was made a year Or two ago
to cure the hooks.
One Hundred. Dollars Reward will be given for
therecovery ofthe above Slave and Mare, or in
the proportion offour and two for the recovery OF
either. JNO. TAYLOE LOMAA.
