mild look and genteel appearance, (for

8 inches high, thick set, has a pleasant
countenance and very white teeth,
v;hich he shews very much when speak

ed of being a runaway slave. In my
former advertisement, I stated that from
threats which the wench made prior to
her elopement, they would, by chang
ing their names, and getting forged free
papers, endeavor to make their escape
to some free state: since that time, they
have been lurking about Halifax town,
in the vicinity of which, they probably
are at this time. All persons arc for-

If I was to sav that I sold all the hidi
