   A STAMPEDE. –– The "Underground Railroad" would seem to be in excellent order. A company of twenty-nine slaves from Kentucky reached here on Monday evening last, and were safely conveyed to the Canada side next morning. They were all hale young men and women, none of them over 35 years of age, for whose re-capture, we hear, liberal offers are proclaimed. They travelled by wagons through Indiana, and reached here in good condition.––Detroit Christian Herald.
