100 DOLLARS REWARD.

On Tuesday morning between Frederlcks-
~ 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
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 we'll 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
four-pe nce-halfpenny She is, as well as is
recollected, going on seven years of age; is re-
markably long in her body; has a 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.
