$10 REWARD.
RAN AWAY from the Subscriber on the 20th inst. a negro man named
ABRAM;
He is about 6 feet high, yellow complexion, & 22 years of age--Said fellow was raised by my father, Col. James Williams, dec'd, and is well known in the neighborhood of Washington.
As he is a resolute and determined villain, and will not, it is probable, be easily taken; therefore, should any person in attempting to take him, find it necessary to use violent means, and should wound or even kill him, they can do so without being apprehensive of a prosecution; as I shall feel rather under obligations to him or them, than otherwise for so doing.
Masters of vessels and all others are hereby forewarned from harboring, employing or carrying said fellow off under the penalty of the law.
J.W. WILLIAMS.
