RAN-AWAY From the subscriber on the 10th day of
September, a bright mulatto fellow by the name of RALPH. He is about 35
years old – a number of his fore teeth are missing – several before, so as to
disqualify him from chawing anything hard. He has a very down look. He had on when he left me cotton clothes,
except his coat, which was cotton cambrick, of a
brown colour, made in the present fashion. The coat had a pocket on the inside of the
left lappell. –He is about five feet, eight or ten
inches high – thick built. I expect he will attempt to pass for a free man,
and, perhaps, aim for Richmond, in Virginia, where he was raised. He left his former master, whose name was JEFFREY, (lived in South Carolina,) and
passed for a free man for about fifteen months in the counties of Duplin,
Bladen, and Jones, where he was at length taken up and committed to Wilmington
Jail, where his master got him. And
person who will confine said Negro in Jail in this state so I get him again,
shall receive a reward of ten dollars, and if delivered to me in Wadesborough, 25
dollars.

eleven inches high, and aged thirty-five. His face is overrun with marks of the Small
Pox, and on one side of his nose (the right side I believe) there is a scar
occasioned by the kick of a horse. When
he ran-away from me he carried with him a Bay Mare. JIM
can read and write and I expect he will pass himself for a free man. I suspect he has gone to Wilmington, having
connections there. Any person who will
deliver this boy into my possession shall receive Fifty Dollars,
and Twenty-Five if he is secured in any jail.

of which is fresh and under a very good fence, the
balance is not in good condition, owing to its being rented out for several
years to indifferent Tenants. The
dwelling house is but small and of but small value, but situated near a good

purchaser can be accommodated with stock of every description common in this

-Twenty Dollars Reward. RANAWAY
from the subscriber, near Sneedsborough, (Anson county,)
a yellow man slave, by the name of LARRY,
about 35 years old, 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, straight and slender built,
has a small piece taken from one of his ears, and on one of his legs is a large
scar. I purchased the said negro from General Gabriel
HOLMES, of Sampson county, North Carolina.
LARRY is a sensible polite fellow, and I think it probable that he
has procured a pass, by which he will attempt to pass for a free man, and most
likely will aim for Wilmington in this state, or Norfolk, Virginia, and take
shipping; I am informed that he is acquainted at both those places.
I forewarn all masters
and owners of vessels, from employing or taking him on board, &c.
I will pay the above
reward to any person who will secure him to any jail, so that I get him, or
deliver him to me and all reasonable expences
paid.

-Obituary. “Life’s but a walking shadow; a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is
heard no more.”
Died,
in the Waxhaws, Lancaster District, on the 18 the
ult., Mr. John Dickey CANTZON, aged about 22 years. He was a distinguished member of the senior
class of Yale College. Having been
seized with the consumption while in New Haven, he retired to his mother’s
residence in the Waxhaws, hoping that relaxation from
study, and change to his native air, would give him relief- but the “spoiler
came.”
He was a young man of
fine talents, and the highest expectations were entertained of his usefulness
to society. His friends looked forward
to the time when he would commence a career of high and honorable exertion. To his widowed mother, this dispensation of
Heaven must indeed be, in the highest degree, distressing. She has no companion to mourn with her the
loss of a beloved child, and no surviving child to buoy up her heart with other
hopes. – But “Heaven tempers the wind to the shorn lamb;” and, though religion
cannot make us altogether forget the sorrows and misfortunes of life, it may
enable us to bear them with calmness and resignation.
