RAN away on the 25th instant, a likely Ne
gro Man called Isaac, about twenty-three
years oid, five feet fix or eight inches high, a
well made fellow, fond of talking, has a large
mouth, and his teeth very much when
talking ; had on when he went away, a brown
linen shirt, a (hort white kersey over jacket with
a very high collar and plain breast, with buttons
which appear lo have been very gay ; a pair of
white kersey breeches, a pair of white knit yarn
stockings, a pair of shoes with firings in them,
and a hat ; all ihc above clothes are al
ipoft new. Said Negro was fprmerly the pro
perty of Mr. William Thomas, late of Kent
County, near George-Town Cross Roads, de
ceased, and has for several years been employed
in that neighbourhood, and principally by a Mr.
Maxwell, and lately by Messrs. John and James
Carmack, as a waggoner, which business he is
well acquainted with, and is what he prefers ;
and has been engaged in driving a waggon from
said Cross-Roads to Duck-Creek, &c. until
August last. I expect he will make his way for
the neighbourhoods of George-Town, Duck-
Creek, Dover or Wilmington. The above re
ward will be paid if delivered to me in this
place, or Thirty Dollars if secured in any goal,
so that I get him again. He is an artful fellow,
and when taken, will make his escape, unless
particularly secured.
