Five Hundred Dollars reward.

--Ran away from the subscriber, on Thursday, the 24th of November, 1864, a Negro Boy, named Pitman. He is fifteen or sixteen years old; about five feet seven or eight inches high, and slender; is of a clear brownish black color, his mother being a dark mulatto and his father black; can read pretty well; looks simple when spoken to, and often curls up his forehead when addressed; had on a grey jacket, a brown shirt and pants, and probably a black sack overcoat, and carried with him a black satchel.

He was purchased last August in Richmond, and was raised in Charlotte county.

I will give Five Hundred Dollars for his arrest and detention so that I can recover possession of him.

Hugh W. Sheffey,
Staunton, Virginia. de 12--5t
