The Purchase of Pembroke.

Stephen Pembroke, the slave of Jacob H. Grove, Esq. of Sharpsburg, was purchased from his master last week for the sum of $1000, and taken back to New York. The money was raised through the efforts of Pembroke’s brother, who is a Clergyman of some standing among the colored folks of New York. Pembroke’s two sons, the property of Capt. David Smith, of Sharpsburg, were sold to a lumber merchant in North Carolina, and are now employed in a cypress shingle factory.

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.

On Monday of last week four fugitive slaves from the neighborhood of Cumberland, Md, arrived at Altoona, Pa., pursued by their claimant. Two of them were arrested and taken to Hollidaysburg, where they were committed to jail on the charge of stealing a horse. A writ of habeas corpus, however, was immediately issued, and the charge not… they were discharged and hurried off by a mob of … the court-house.
