 sfpayV runaway about the first of No vember last, from the possession of Joseph Pickens, living in the Big Cove, Madison county, Ala. (from whom l purchased him after he was decoyed off, or had absconded,) ) a likely negro man named JACK, aged a. bout 35 years; above the usual size, being both stout and tall; very bow-legged; of a dark complexion approaching to yellow no scars or distinctive marks recollected; is a smart negro, and talks boldly, fluently and well. The said negro was seen in Mobile on the 1st of this month, and by an advertisement in the Mobile Patriot of the following day it appears that he had then left the possession of one Todd, by absconding. The said negro formerly belonged to d certain Cornelius Todd, who sold him to Jno. Hardie of Whites burg, by whom, after an undisturbed possess sion of 12 months, he was sold to the subscri- Der, who afterwards sold him to said Pickens, but subsequently purchased him again. The sad Food always refused to execute bill of sale for the said slave to MT Hardie, and left this part of the country about the time the ne- gro disappeared, but afterwards returned;- he has however been gone from this county for about 3 months past. Under these cir cumstances, the strongest probability exists that the said Cornelius Todd has enticed said negro away.-The above reward will be paid for the delivery of said negro to me living a. bout 2 miles Northwest of Ditto's Landing, or 7qventy.fve Dollars if he is secured ir any jail in this State so that get him again.
