Forty Dollars Reward. Run away from the subscriber on the 28th of May, a Negro Man, named Dick, about 28 years old, of a midling stature, has lost one of his little toes. Also, run away from Ebenezer Hurd on the first of March last, a Negro Man, named Jack, about thirty years old, a short thick fellow, pitted with the small-pox, and has got a bare spot on the top of his head, occasioned by a scald when young. Any person that will secure said servants in any jail, so that their masters may get them again, shall be entitled to the above reward for both, or twenty dollars for either of them, by applying to ANDREW HURD.
