Boston (MA) Liberator, "Negro Stampede," July 16, 1847

Negro Stampede –– We learn that a stampede occurred among the negroes at and near Maysville, a few days ago. Five or six of the number belonged to a prominent and influential member of the Northern Methodist Church at Maysville. And we also understand that a distinguished preacher of that denomination was at the gentleman’s house at the time his negroes left.––Covington (Ky.) Register.
