THIRTY DOLLARS REWARD,
For apprehending and securing the following SLAVES so that I get them again, or TEN DOLLARS for any one of them.
ELIJAH, EMANUEL, and VIRGIN ran away yesterday about the middle of the day -- ELIJAH is a mulatto slave, 32 years of age, about 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high--he has been my waggoner for many years, and is well known in and about Alexandria. His arms are full of rings or tetter worms, I believe likewise his body; the fore finger of his left hand is marked with a cut nearly the length of the finger -- EMANUEL, aged about 11 years, 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high, has a very black smooth skin, rather hollow eyed, and slender made, walks very erect, has a grumbling way of speaking; took all his clothes with him, consisting of a white and brown jacket and overalls of country tuiled cloth, the cape of the brown bound round with black & white striped cloth, white coat and pantaloons of white country cloth, of cotton and wool, and a mixed blue and white country coat all cotton. -- VIRGIN, a mulatto, and sister to Elijah, aged about 15 or 16 years, tall and slender made, has the mark of the stroke of a switch on one of her arms near the elbow; the hair of her head at present short, being cut off this summer.
