Strayed from near Keys' Ferry, sometime in the month of Dec. last, a dark bay horse, about fifteen hands high, ten or twelve years old, no particular mark recollected except some white hairs about the root of his tail. The horse was seen in the neighborhood of capt. John Briscoe's, a few days before Christmas. It is very probable he may be in the neighborhood between that place and Smithfield. Any persons finding and returning him to me shall receive the above reward. T. S. BENNETT. Harper's Ferry, Feb. 23."
