$125 reward.

--Will be paid for the arrest and delivery to me of William, a slave, purchased of Mr. Lyons, of Petersburg; and Henry, a small boy, eight or nine years of age. William is a bricklayer by trade; 21 or 22 years of age; black and intelligent; five feet eight or nine inches high, and has two of his teeth set on gold plate. Henry is black; stammers when talking and is quite intelligent for his age. I will give $100 reward for William, and $25 for Henry; and will also pay a reward of $200 for the conviction of the person or persons who may be harboring them. Both are believed to be lurking about some of the military camps, and representing themselves to be free. [je 10--8t*] David McDANIEL.
