$150 REWARD. Ran
away from the subscriber, on Sunday night, 27th inst., my NEGRO GIRL, Lear
Green, about 18 years of age, black complexion, round featured, good looking
and ordinary size; she had on and with her when she left, a tan-colored silk
bonnet, a dark plaid silk dress, a light mouselin de laine, also one watered
silk cape and one tan colored cape. I have reason to be confident that she was
persuaded off by a negro man named Wm. Adams, black, quick spoken, 5 feet 10
inches high, a large scar on one side of his face, running down in a ridge by
the corner of his month, about 4 inches long, barber by trade, but works mostly
about taverns, opening oysters, &c. He has been missing about a week; he
had been heard to say he was going to marry the above girl and ship to New
York, where it is said his mother resides. The above reward will be paid if
said girl is taken out of the State of Maryland and delivered to me; or fifty
dollars if taken in the State of Maryland.
