Runaway--$30 reward.

--Ranaway from the subscriber, near Wilmington, Va., on the 30th of September last, Jesse, Fleming, and John.

Jesse was raised by John Boatwright, deceased, near Mount Zion Church, Buckingham county; is a copper-colored mulatto, with woolly hair, good teeth, and about 40 years old; 5 feet 6 inches high; wore a good brown wool hat and gray clothes.

Fleming is 2 years old; about 5 feet high; brown complexion; high forehead; under lip curled; had a variety of clothing and a pair of boots with iron-plated heels. Both of the above are very smart.

John is 17 years old; full 5 feet high; dark brown complexion; wore a sheep's gray coat and black satinet pants. Not very smart. All wore long hair.

The above reward will be given for their delivery to me, or security in jail so that I get them again, or $10 for either. C. O. Perkins.
