ON Tuesday morning, between Fredericks burg and mv plantation, in the upper end of Stafford, a NEGRO MAN, and the MARE on which he was riding, both belonging to me, were stolen by a man who seems to have been a stranger in this part of the country. When seen in possession of the Slave and of the Mare, he was inquiring his way to Stafford Court House. He is described to me as a person be tween nuy ana sixty years ui age, wun re markably white hair; his stature stout and well set. He wore a brownish colored stuff cloak. The negro is between twenty-five and thirty years of age, as well as is remembered; stout in his person, and about five feet ten or eleven in ches high; has a drawling manner of talking, and appears to be much less sagacious than he really is. His name is Jack. His dress was a blue doth cup, a grey great coat, and his under clothing drab cloth. The Mare is a fine large sorrel, without any spot of white about her, unless perhaps there may be some few white hairs in tiie centre of the forehead, not covering more than the size of a four-pence-halfpenny. She is, as well as is recollected, going on seven years of age; is re markably long in her body; has along tail, and it is remarkable where it joins the rump. There may be discerned in the film of one of her eyes an incision which was made a year or two ago to cure the hooks. One Hundred Dollars Reward will be given for therecovery ofthe above Slave and Mare, or in the proportion of four and two for the recovery of either. JNO. TAYLOE LOMAX. Fredericksburg, Jan. 23. 1834.
