$50 REWARD.
RANAWAY from the subscriber on the 14th June a bright MULATTO GIRL, about 23 or 24 years of age, likely and well dressed. Her mistress thinks she usually wore a gentleman's gold shirt button in her bosom, had a portmanteau or travelling bag, her front teeth are large and prominent and are sparated[sic], long straight black hair, and had a nummber of warts on her hands. Her object I persume[sic] is to go north. She was seen to take the southern train at Belfield, a few day after she left home but this probably was a ruse, and may turn back, as she, must I think be trying to get to a free State. I am not aware of any good cause for her leaving, save the love of liberty. There are no marks remembered, as she has never been whipped in her life that I know of. She called herself at Belfield, Martha Payn, and said she was free, and may have a pass of some sort. Her proper name is ELIZABETH, and sometimes calls herself Elizabeth Scott. Some of her clothes are probably marked with the letters E. S.
I will pay $50 to any person who will confine her in jail so that I get her again.
