$25 reward.

"Ranaway, on the 29th of March, a Woman, named Nancy, whom I purchased of H. Stern, of this city. She is of medium size, rather spare made, of a ginger-bread color; has a diffident look when spoken to; is 23 years old; has a blister scar on her neck. She was sold last Christmas at the sale of Wm. Andrews, deceased, nine miles above the city. She may now be in that neighborhood, or near Slash Cottage, as she has a mother living at Mr. Wm. Winn's, near that place, in Hanover county. She was hired to Mr. Samuel Allen, of this city, last year, and has a husband hired to Mr. Ballard, of the Exchange Hotel, by the name of Dolphins. I will pay the above reward if delivered to me in Richmond.
