Twenty-five dollars reward

--A negro man named Jack, frequently called John, belonging to my aunt, Miss Frances A. Ellicott, has been missing for the past two or three weeks from the City Gas Works, where he was hired in January last. He is about 29 years old black, short, and stoutly built, and has a small piece broken off from one of his upper front teeth He has a wife named Milly Crew, a free woman, living on 21 between Baker and Duval streets. I believe he is lurking somewhere about the city, or perhaps at some of the camps or batteries in its vicinity, and will pay the above reward for his apprehension.
