Negro Festivals.
The colored folks of Frederick County, to the number of 1400, divided into two parties, had a general rejoicing on Whit-Monday. The Examiner says, one party, numbering 800, went to Derr’s Island in the Monococacy (sic), and the other numbering 5 or 600, to the mouth of Bush Creek, where they enjoyed themselves immensely.
On the same day, a large number of darkies of this town proceeded to the Banks of the Antietam with a band of music, where they conducted themselves with propriety, and enjoyed themselves very much.
