ON Tuesday morning, between Fredericks burg and my 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 fifty and sixty years of age, with re* j markably white hair; his stature stout and well j set. He wore a brownish colored stuff cloak, j The negro is between twenty-five and thirty j years of age, as well as is remembered; stout in his person, and about five feet ten or eleven in dies high; has a drawling manner of talking, 1 and appears to be much less sagacious than he really is. His name is Jack. His dress was a blue cloth cap, 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 i may be some few white hairs in the 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 a ge; 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 ofoneoflier eyes an incision which was made a year or two ago to cure the hooks.
