$300 -- Reward.THE subscriber offers Three

Hundred Dollars Reward for

his, negro man HARRY, who

ran away on the 1st of F bru-t- y,

1856. Harry is 25 or 30

years old, light complexion,and has a beautiful set of teeth and a

very black pair of : whiskers. I think

one of the fingers on his hand has

a scar, caused ' by being caught

in a cotton glu last fall: He is about

six feet high, and weighs about 180 or

200 pounds. He had on when he went

off a suit of homespun clothes, and a

common white felt hat; he also carried

off a black leather carpet bag, blue

cloth coit,. black pants, black satin

vest, a low crown black hat, and pen,

ink and paper. I have no doubt he is

attempting to make his way to a free

State, by passing himself as free, as I

know that he can both read and write.

He was seen a few days before he U'tt

with an instrument of writing. The

said boy was raised In Ren u fort county,

and is well known in Washington, Wil-liamsto- n;

and Hamilton; he also work-

ed in South Carolina, aud is also a gooicarpenter.

The above reward will be paid rthe said boy, if confined in any pd sa

that I get him again.: I wiM af P3

Five Hundred Dollar for evidence &

convict at law, any white man of carrjing or sending the above aimed boy W
