THE FUGITIvEs. The appearance of
the Rebel army in York county caused many
citizens to flee from THEN homes and seek safety
in this and Lancaster counties. During the
early part of the week quite an exodus took
place from the region of little York. Como
wingo Bridge was thronged with carriages and
wagons Live stock of all kinds was hurried
across the Susquehanna. Many persons from
the seat of war" halted in the Brick Meeting
House and Rising Sun neighborhood, and still
greater numbers journeyed further north, into
Chester and Lancaster counties. Large droves
of cattle, horses and mules were brought to
those sections of country for safety The Rebels
evinced very warm attachment to their Cop
perhead friends, by driving off their stock,
assuring them that they took it out of consid-
Grafton for their friendly sympathies ~ for the
South as they, of course, freely gave it to the
people they loved SO dearly. Southern svmpa-

advantage these times
