Two hundred dollars reward

--Ran away from my house, in Manchester, on the morning of the 23d, my servant woman Kitty. Said negro is 18 or 19 years of age, rather short, light gingerbread color, and quite stout; her gums are particularly dark; she carried away with her four colored silk dresses, one black silk dress, and two plaid dresses, one black cloth cloak, and a purple silk bonnet, with sundry other articles. She was brought from Mecklenburg just before Christmas, where I bought her, and I think it probable that she may be trying to get back. I will give the above reward for her delivery to me, or to any jail in Richmond so that I may get her.
