Disappeared, last Tuesday night, from my residence, at Mrs. Mayo's, on Church Hill, near the corner of Grace and Twenty-sixth streets, my servant (free) girl, Sarah, with a half-dozen Silver Table Spoons. She is tall and thick-set; black; woolly headed, and is easily confused when spoken to. She is known by the name of Sarah Smith, and is supposed to be trying to make her way to the Yankees or temporarily lurking in the city. The spoons carried off by her were heavy, considerably worn, handle heads clipped, and marked "L. A. D." A liberal reward will be paid for the apprehension of the negro and return of the spoons.
