JACOB is a round smooth faced fellow, about 22 years old, low of stature, but stout and strongly formed. He is a tolerable blacksmith. He may have got in company with a runaway negro Jesse, formerly the property of Mr. Rape of Har-peth, and for which negro there is a high reward offerd, or he may have got into a boat under some pretence.
