ming off of ten slaves from the vicinity Of Prunty
town, Va. Later intelligence says that the
groes were overtaken in Fayettc county, Pa, where

of the negroes with q corn cleaver, and would
have been killed but for the interference Of of
his own servants, who stepped in to protect his
master. Another of the party pursuing was

what is known as the Bachelor Farm. A party of

negroes, but nothing additional had been heard
