200 dollars reward.
--Ran away from the residence of the writer, corner of 7th and Leigh streets, on Monday morning last, a gingerbread-colored boy, named Jim, about 14 years old, very large mouth, very sprightly and lively, and fond of singing comic songs when at leisure.
He is very fond of soldiers; and my impression is that he has gone off with some of the local companies around
Richmond or
Petersburg, which latter place he was raised by a Mr. or
Mrs. Piermon, and sold here 17th March last, at
Lee &
James's , by C C
Burton.
There are no scars recollected, except whip marks from appearance when he was very young.
The above reward will be paid if delivered to
Hill,
Dickinson & Co,
Richmond.
