   Runaway, from the W. & M. {Wilmington & Manchester} Railroad, on the 15th of March last, my negro HENRY, he is black, very large and muscular, and is a fine blacksmith. He has a wife belonging to Mr. Lyon, of Charlotte, N. C., and is supposed to be lurking either in that vicinity or Wilmington.
   Also ranaway, from the Government Shops, in Raleigh, my boy HARKLESS. He has a smiling countenance, is small, black and bandy-legged, with several scars on his head.
   He was hired last year on the Nauhunta Section of the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad and supposed to be lurking either in that vicinity or Wilmington.
   A reward of $25 each will be given for their arrest and imprisonment in any jail so that I can get them.
