An OLD SLAVE RETURNS.
RAN AWAY FROM CHESTERTOwN
WITH EIGHT OTHERS IN 1855,
AND FLED TO FRANCE.

James A. Scott, 65 years old, a we'll
dressed old colored man, with his for
tune in a neat dressing-case, arrived at
Murray's Hotel this morning on his
way to Chestertown, Md, for which
place he will leave tomorrow morning.
In 1855, Scott, then a slave in the
family of Josiah Ringgold Of Chester.
town, broke away with eight others
and fed to Wilmington, where they
sought refuge under Thomas Garrett s
care. They were boarded for two days
at Isaac Murray's, until their pursuers
came so hard on their trail that they
were taken to New York and shipped
to France.
Several years ago Scott returned to
America with another of the fugitives
and spent all of his latter years work
ing about in Pennsylvania Scott ac-
quired a useful knowledge of the
French language, but it did not avail
him much, as he got back to this coun-
try as soon as he could, and says there
is positively no country like this.
He is going to look up all his old
friends around Chestertown, thinking
he has remained away long enough to
escape the wrath of Mr.. Ringgold's peo-
pie.
