$100 REWARD!
Ranaway from the farm of Charles Stewart, in Prince William county, Va., on the 16th day of February last, my slave MOSES, who is a dark mulatto, about 25 years old, 5 feet 8 or nine inches high; has no visible mark or scar; wore his chair plaited and tied at the ends with strings; he stoops a little and holds his hand sin his pockets when walking. When he left wore away a light drab fulled cloth sack coat and pantaloons and a new vest with red stripes, in imitation of plaid. I will give a reward of ten dollars if taken in the county twenty dollars if taken in this State, fifty dollars if taken in the District of Colombia and one hundred dollars if taken in any adjoining State, upon his delivery to me in Brentsville Va., or if he is confined in any jail so that I can get him.

$30 REWARD
RANAWAY from the subscriber living in Prince William County, a negro woman named MARIA. She is a tall black woman, well made, and cross eyed; has thick lips, the under one hangs considerably when not pleased. She had on when she went away, a country made yarn dress, though she took away with her other clothes which I am not able to describe. I have some reason to suspect she is in the District. I will give 10 dollars if taken in the County, 20 dollars if taken out of the County, or in the District, and 30 dollars if taken north of the District, and secured in any jail where I can get her. Information to be addressed to Brentsville, Prince William Co., Va.
