KIDNAPPED--$20 REWARD--My son,
WILLIAM HENRY BAYLOR, was
kidnapped from the Market House, in Alexan-
dria, on Tuesday morning, the 26th of July.
He is aged about 14 years, is about 5 feet high
and stout; very dark complexion, full mouth
with very short white teeth, and when taken off
had a full suit of hair. He had a scar on his
forehead, just above the right eye; when spoken
to he is very polite and pleasant in his manner.
He had on a brown mixed shirt and greyish
pantaloons, was barefooted and had on an old
slouch hat. As he is my son on whom I
am dependant, (his brother being blind and
lame,) I am most anxious that he should re-
turn to me, and I will give $20 reward for any
information that will lead to a knowledge of his
whereabouts. PRISCILLA STARK,
Formerly Priscilla Baylor, Colored.
