500 dollars reward
--My boy Bartlett absconded from the Government blacksmith shop on the 5th instant. He has a dark brown skin, about 19 years of age, 5 feet 6 inches high, is a bright and intelligent boy, and I think will endeavor to reach the Yankee lines. I will pay the above reward for his return to me at the office of John C. Maynard, Major and Q. M, corner 9th and Main sts.
