REWARD. The undersigned offer for the arrest and delivery of Solomon J. Byrd to the Jailer of Accomac county the reward of one hundred dollars. We believe he will be easily recognized by the following description: Said Byrd is five feet ten inches high, weighs about one hundred and sixty pounds, has small hands and a few freckles on his face. He has, we think, an anchor and cable on one of his arms. In conversation he will attract attention by the habit of looking downward, instead of at those who are conversing with him. Further particulars will be given if necessary by either of the undersigned.
