Ran away on Friday last, September 18, a negro man named LEWIS. He is very stout and full faced, of light color, about 5 feet 5 inches in height, and rather slow in speech. Clothing not re-collected. I will give the above reward if taken in a free State, $100 if taken in the District of Columbia, and $50 if taken in Prince George or Charles counties, and secured in Jail so that I get him again.
