RAN AWAY from the subscriber, the 14th instant a very black Negro fellow called TOM, about 25 years old, 5 feet 8 inches high, his left middle finger crooked, a large mouth, thick lips, had on when he went away an oznaburg shirt, croakus trowsers, a short blue coat, striped vest, white stockings, and a pair of shoes. Also at the same time ran away a black young Negro fellow named CAESAR, about 17 years old, 5 feet 9 inches high; had on a blue jacket, oznaburg shirt, and croakus trowsers. Tom formerly belonged to Mr. Haynes, of Princess Anne County, and Caesar to Mr. Wm. Baker of South Quay.
