The other is a woman, a low squat wench, about forty years old, she is very black, and makes use of a great deal of tobacco, both of chewing and smoking. I have reason to believe that they have got to the state of Pennsylvania, they took with them two horses, one light sorrel, about 14 hands high, nine years old, he had two white feet, a star in his forehead, very flat feet and branded thus W. The other a dark bay, not branded, but has a small nick in one of its ears near the end, about 14 hands high, six years old last spring.--------Whoever takes up the said Negroes, and secures them in any jail, so that their master may get them again, shall receive the above reward, or three guineas for eithr of them, and two dollars for each horse, paid by me Wm.

The other a female, named Sinah, between fourteen and sixteen years old, about five feet high, has several marks on her arm, which she says was occasioned by being scalded; wears a much worn blue and white lincey dress, and reports that she was married to a slave named Joe. They assert, that they belong to a Mr. Thomas Violet, nine miles from Winchester, Virginia, and departed thence about three weeks ago, with two other slaves named Joe and Kate, of whom they can give no account.
