RANAWAY on the evening of the 25th June, my negro DANIEL, who in all probability, will aim for Newbern, as I purchased him in that place in 1825.  Daniel is a stout, likely Boy, and very intelligent.  A reward of $25 will be given to any person who will apprehend and confine him in any jail so that I get him again. A.W. McLAUGHLIN.
