 Description: RAN away, on the 6th of July last, from the subscriber, living in Bond's forest, within eight miles of Joppa, in Baltimore County, an Irish Servant Man, named Owen M'Carty, about 45 years old, 5 feet 8 inches high, of a swarthy complexion, has long black hair, which is growing a little grey, and a remarkable scar under the right eye. He had on and took with him when he went away, a short brown coat, made of country manufactured cloth, lined with red flannel, with metal buttons, oznabrigs trowsers patched on both knees, a white shirt, an old pair of shoes, and an old felt hat. He was a soldier in some part of America about the time of Braddock's defeat, and can give a good description of the country. Whoever takes up the said Servant and brings him to Alexander Cowan, or John Clayton, Merchants, in Joppa, or to the subscriber, if he is taken in the County, shall receive FIVE POUNDS, and if out of the County, the above-mentioned TEN POUNDS, as a reward and consideration for his trouble and expense. Barnard Reilly. Miss Varina: I have watched with deep interest and solicitude the illness of Mr. Davis at Brierfield, his trip down on the steamer Leathers, and your meeting and returning with him to the residence of Mr. Payne, in New Orleans; and I had hoped with good nursing and superior medical skill, together with his great willpower to sustain him, he will recover. But, alas! for human endeavour, an over-ruling Providence has willed it otherwise. I appreciate your great loss, and my heart goes out to you in this hour of your deepest affliction.
