One hundred dollars reward.

--Ranaway from the subscriber, on the 15th of May last, Albert. He is about 19 years of age, badly grown, not more than 5 feet high, but well made, of light complexion, hair somewhat reddish; some of the front teeth of the lower jaw were kicked out some years ago, which can be readily seen by examining his teeth; the tip end of one of the fore fingers is cut off, (left hand, I think,) leaving a very small portion of nail, which is thickish and pointed. He is of a lively manner, and inclined to be very communicative and forward in manner. He was seen in Winchester about a week ago. He spoke to a gentleman from Richmond and said he belonged to me, and was there with his young master. I feel sure he has hired himself to some of the soldiers as a free boy.

Also, about the same time, Sandy. He is about 32 years old, tall and trim, speaks rather slow and broad, and is respectful in manner. He is an excellent waiting man and driver. It is likely he is employed in one or the other capacity in the army. Complexion somewhat light. He has a wife and children at Mrs. Jeremiah Hobbs's, in Manchester.

I will pay $50 for either of them, delivered to me, near Hampden Sidney College, or lodged in jail so I may get either of them.
