IN Tuesday morning, between Fredericks-
W 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
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-
markedly white hair; his stature stout and well
set. He wore a brownish colored stuff cloak
The negro is between twenty-five and thirty
years ofage, 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 a
blue cloth cap, grey great coat, and his under
clothing drab 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
a four alfpenny. She is as well as is
recollected, going on seven years of age is re-
markably long in her body has long tail, and
it is remarkable where it joins the rump. There
may be discerned in the film ofone Of her eyes
an incison 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. TA4LOE LOMAA.
