FOUND,
BY the subscriber, on the 26th October last, on board a skiff, which was
lodged on a drift, and partly upset, in the Mississippi river, three
TRUNKS, supposed, from the papers contained therein, to be the property
of ZEBIN THAYER, (presumed to have been a physician), PETER JOHNSON, and
CHRISTIAN MILLER. It is believed, from a variety of circumstances, that
the persons who were on board of this skiff, who were probably those
above named, have been DROWNED.
The trunks contained a variety of clothing, some surgical instruments,
sundry books, a few carpenter's tools, &c. This property is in the hands
of the subscriber, who will deliver it to the owners, or their legal
representatives, on their producing satisfactory proof thereof, and
paying for this advertisement and other reasonable expenses.

THE VILLAIN DETECTED.
$500 REWARD
Will be paid, to any person who will restore to the subscriber, residing
in Hempstead County, A.T., his little son, about four years of age, who
disappeared in a very extra ordinary manner, in October 1825.
Every means have been used by the subscriber, to ascertain the fate of
his child, but he has not been able to gain any intelligence of him, not
even any that would lead to a probable conclusion whether he had been
stolen or drowned, or destroyed in any other manner, until November
last, when he received a letter, signed by one Thomas Tutty, and bearing
the post mark of Natchez, Mississippi. The writer of the letter proposed
to restore the child, on the payment of $200 - $50 of which to be
enclosed to him at Natchez, and the balance to be paid on the delivery
of the child. The money was enclosed according to his directions, and
through measures concerted with the Post Master at Natchez, the villain,
whose real name is ascertained to be EDWARD H. MORRIS, was apprehended,
and committed to jail. This fellow refused to give any information
concerning the child, though the strongest inducements were offered to
prevail on him to do so; and he still remains in jail to await
punishment which is due him for his agency in this nefarious and wicked
transaction.
The above reward will be paid to any person who will restore the child
to the subscriber, or to Henry Tooley, Esq. at Natchez; or for any
information concerning him, which shall result in restoring him to the
arms of his afflicted and disconsolate parents.
