Runaway Negroes.
We have been informed that a batch of 6 or 8 slaves belonging to Mr. Elias Cheney, of Funkstown, has been missing since Sunday last, and are supposed to have decamped for the good old Democratic Land of Penn. In reference to runaway negroes, we find the following melancholy item of information in the last Williamsport Times:
“Last week we stated that a negro man had been drowned, some distance below Dam No. 6, and yesterday, (Friday,) another negro man was found drowned, near "Duck Island," about 1 ½ miles above town.
