Transcript
On Saturday night last a regular stampede took place among the negroes in this neighborhood. We learn that two negroes belonging to Mr. Wm. Heyser, near town, one of Mr. Joseph Rench's, and one of Mr. John Booth's, in town, and it is supposed a number of others of whom we have not yet heard, started for the land where negroes have the privilege of keeping. They took with them a horse belonging to Dr. E. Weis, and one of Mr. H.K. Tice's, together with a carriage of Mr. F.J. Posey, and Mr. Jos. P. Mong's buggy. They were pursued, however, and arrested at Chambersburg, Pa., on Monday.––Hagerstown Chronicle.
