Stop the Thieves.
ON the night of the 11th of this inst. two men, one by the name of
John M. Osborn,
the other named

left this place in a skiff, after having stolen from the shop of John B. Martin, a new blue tight bodied coat, and committing
various other petty thefts.
OSBORN is about five feet seven inches high, black hair and eyes, dark complexion, has a scar on one of his cheeks,-- had
on a blue cloth frock coat, with a velvet collar, nearly new, blue cloth vest, black mixed pantaloons, and a black fur hat,
nearly new; he is a Tailor by trade, and worked in both our shops during the fall and winter-- he has left a number of small
debts unpaid such as for boarding, washing and grog bills-- he was recognized to appear at court, and has left his security
to settle that for him. We, the undersigned, would caution all master Tailors, and others, to be upon their guard, in giving
him employment or credit-- Editors in the Western and Southern States will probably save their fellow citizens from imposition
