ter NANNY, eight years old 7th inst.
very blsck, thin made, thin jaws, and
very long head and her second daugh

yellow girl named AD ALINE, 21 years
old, stout and well made, with a burnt
place on the left side of her head, which
she received by falling in the fire when
an infant this girl is in the habit of
combing her black hair over this burnt
place to hide the scar she has been
brought up in my house entirely I ex
pect she will attempt to pass as a free
girl, and change her name. This girl
has a variety of good clothes but a few
days before she set off, she broke into
her mistress's. trunk and took with her
sundries of wearing apparel, she also
had a black fur hat. The whole of these
negroes carried off a variety of clothes,
even their bed and furniture. I expect

cpjarter, on Fishing Creek.

Jail so that I get them again, or Twenty
Dollars each for the five oldest.
