$50 REWARD.
Ranaway from the subscriber, on the 20th February last, some ten or twelve miles below Columbia. S. C., a likely mulatto boy named JOHN, about twenty years old, slim, trim made, weighs about 140 pounds, he is about 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, has no scar recollected; one of his thumbs is stiff at the first joint and bends in; think his right, but am not positive which; hair straight and rather dark. Said negro was purchased in Richmond, Va. of George Aler, and was raised in the neighborhood of Fredericksburg, Va., and will likely try to get back. The above reward of fifty dollars will be paid for him if lodged in any jail so that I get him.
