ABSCONDED,
On the 23d instant, from Raleigh,
My Boy DANIEL, a Bright Mulatto (half blood) about 17 Years old--well grown--has short Hair, and a small Tooth between his Upper Fore-Teeth. He took with him a Chestnut-Sorrel Horse, about 4 Feet 11 Inches high, 8 Years old; all his Legs are White; he has a Bald Face and Nose--with a White Speck on one of his Eyes;--the said horse trots well. The Boy also took with him a Bridle, Saddle, and Saddle-Bag;--the Saddle has Plates before and behind, and also plac-ed Surrup Irons--the Saddle Bags are of Red Leather. He had two Spencers, one new, of dark Grey Cloth bound with Yellow--the other of Blue Plains, bound with Red;--He had a Drab Great Coat, and a Common Fur Hat--His other Clothing he will be able to change, therefore it is useless to describe them. He got some Cash given him for Members of Assembly. I suppose he has it in mind to pass for a Free Man. He may be in company with some Person who is endeavoring to obtain Gain thereby.
Whoever will apprehend the said Lad and Horse, and deliver them to me, shall receive TWENTY DOLLARS, and expences paid--or Ten for securing him in Jail and securing the Horse, &c.
