$200 Reward.
RANAWAY from the subscriber, near Greenville, Mississippi, on the night of the 28th of February, two negro men, named LEANDER and ROBERT.
Leander is black, intelligent, and remarkably well formed, is about 6 feet one or two inches high, has rather a careless walk, small head and mouth, with decidedly thick lips and high and retiring forehead, aged about 23 or 24 years old.
Robert is decidedly black, about 5 feet 9 or 10 inches in height, very slender, walks erect, not very intelligent, and with an uneasy expression of countenance; aged about 16 or 17 years.
For Leander, I will give fifty dollars, if caught in the counties of Washington or Bolivar, and twenty-five dollars for Robert, if caught in the above counties; if on a steamboat, or beyond the limit of said counties, I will give one hundred and fifty dollars for Leander, and fifty dollars for Robert, provided they are delivered to me, or lodged in some jail where I can get them.
Leander has formerly been employed on the Memphis and New Orleans packets, and will try to reach a free State by steamboat.
