$50 REWARD! -- Ran off, on the night of the 16th instant, from the subscriber, living near Buckland, Prince William County, Va., negro man JIM, or JAMES GRAHAM, as he calls himself. Jim is about twenty-one or two years of age, below the middle height, round full face, and stout, inclined to corpulency -- features somewhat contracted, nose inclining upwards. If taken in this County, and secured in jail so that I get him, I will pay twenty-five dollars -- if in other parts of the State, thirty dollars; and out of the State, fifty dollars.
