Runaway Negro.
A reward of $25 is offered to any person that may deliver to me, near Somerville, Fayette County, or commit to jail, my negro man PASCHAEL or WRIGHT. He is about 32 years old, stout and likely; no mark of distinction recollected; he carried away with him but few clothes, and those common laboring ones; but it is probable that he will improve his condition in this respect.
He once belonged to L.P. Cheatham, of Nashville, and has done some service on flat and steamboats; and will probably attempt to escape by obtaining employment on board some boat for Nashville or elsewhere. Owners of boats and others are cautioned against employing or in any way harboring this fellow, as the severity of the new law will not in such case prevent its enforcement.
