10 DOLLARS REWARD

RANAWAY from the subscriber on the 15th instant, a Negro Girl named Nelly, 16 years of age, stout built, rather short, yellow complexion, long Indian hair, curled before, bold, but rather down looking. Had on a white gown, light shawl, straw bonnet, and black shoes; also took with her a green umbrella with a fringe. Who ever will take up said girl, and return her to her mistress living near Stoney Brook, two and a half miles this side of Princeton, shall receive the above reward.
