BROKE JAIL.

I will pay a reward of $25 each for the arrest and delivery to me of JOHN AMMONS and WILLIAM PARKER, who broke out of the jail of Robeson county on the night of the 4th inst.

Parker is a bright free mulatto, with straight bushy hair; he stands erect and looks up; speaks freely, and has a pleasing expression of countenance. He is about 5 feet 6 or 8 inches high. He is well known about Lower Fayetteville, and as a boat hand on the Cape Fear River. REUBEN KING, Sheriff. Lumberton, Robeson Co., N.C., August 6, 1852.
