500 dollars reward.
--Ran away from the residence of the writer, corner of 7th and Leigh streets, on Monday morning last, a gingerbread colored boy, named Jim, about 14 years old, very large mouth, very sprightly and lively, and fond of singing comic songs when at leisure.
He is very fond of soldiers, and my impression is that he has gone off with some of the local companies around
Richmond or
Petersburg, in which latter place he was raised by a Mr. or
Mrs. Pearman, and sold here 17th March last, at
Lee &
James's, by C C
Burton.
There are no scars recollected, except whip marks from appearance when he was very young The above reward will be paid if delivered to
Hill,
Dickinson & Co. Richmond.
