A few days ago a duel was fought between Dr. Frederick RAMCHE and Capt. BUTLER, both of Edenton, in which the latter was wounded in the thigh, when both parties retired apparently satisfied; but afterwards, Dr. R. went into his shop, and by firing two pilots through his head put a period to his life.

Whereas my wife Polly, hath, without any just or lawful cause, eloped from my bed and board, notice is therefore given to all merchants, traders, public house keepers, and others, with whom she might have credit, on my account, that I will pay no debt contracted by her. The public will take notice, that I have left a note of hand of twenty-three dollars, drawn by John PHILLIPS of Person County, and have reason to believe that it is in my wife’s possession. All persons are hereby forewarned from trading for said note. — Christopher HOLT

Ten Dollars Reward – Ran Away from the Subscriber, on the Night of the 25th Instant
A Dark Mulatto Man Slave, known by the name of Harry. He may call himself Henry HUDSON, or change it otherwise, as he is an artful fellow, and will endeavor to pass for a free Man; can read, and procure a pass, as he has done before, his clothing is uncertain; went off in long cloaths, the undercoat of reddish brown, the over one of light-coloured coating. Aged thirty-seven years, a little grey about the temples; his hair, when grown, very bushy, between wool and hair; think visage, soft, smiling speech, and rather under middle size. Very handy in all kinds of plantation-business, as well as a coarse shoemaker and rough carpenter. Has lived in Maryland and Virginia, and may endeavor to get into Pennsylvania.
Whoever secures said Fellow, in Gaol, or otherwise, so that I may have him safely delivered, shall receive five dollars, if taken in this county; if out, the above reward, with all reasonable charges if brought home to me, living near Hillsborough. — Joseph SHAW
