One hundred and fifty dollars reward.

--Ranaway from me on Sunday, July 20th, three Negro Boys, namely:

James A. Carpenter, brown skin, about 24 years old, 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high, reads and writes an indifferent hand. He was bought of Mr. R. A. Claybrook, of Westmoreland county.

Arthur, also brown skin; has been in the employ of Mr. S. S. Cottrell for some months, about 5 feet 6 or 7 inches high; was purchased of Mr. Wm. Bowen, of Fauquier county, Va.

Ned Scott, of lighter complexion than the rest; about 5 feet 4 inches high. He was purchased of Mr. G. W. Royster.

It is supposed they are trying to make their way to Fredericksburg. I will pay the above reward of $150 for all three, or $50 for each one, delivered to me or secured in some jail so that I can get them.
