Twenty dollars reward

will be paid for the return or for information resulting in the return to me, of my cook Harriet, who ran off to Richmond, August 6. She is a bright, thin breasted, tall, sneaking mulatto. She can read, is a Methodist, sings very loud, and is disposed to argue. Was severely whipped August 1st. Supposed to have on a black skirt and red body, colored, straw bonnet and blue ribbons.--Shows fine teeth when spoken to. I bought her of Dr. Dortey, of Maryland. Age 35.

H. P. Taylor.
