Ran-away from the Subscriber, on the fifth instant, a negro man named STEPHEN, about twenty-one years old, about six feet high, a stout built fellow, pretty black; carried away with him a pale blue coat, linen shirt and trowsers, a felt hat, a grey coloured great coat, pieced at the bottom. Whoever will take up said fellow and secure him in any goal, so that his master may have him again, shall have TEN DOLLARS reward, and all reasonable charges paid by me
