HOLLIDAYSBURG HAPPENINGS.
Death of Peter Boyles.

  On Tuesday morning a dispatch was received by Mrs. Isabella Davis, of 
Altoona, announcing the death of Mr. Peter Boyles at the house of his 
brother, in Providence, Rhode Island.  The dispatch contained no 
particulars, but the presumption is his death was sudden and 
unexpected, as Mrs. Davis but a few days previous received a letter 
from the deceased stating he would leave Providence and return to 
Altoona about the 16th of December.  Mr. Boyles was born in county 
Monegan, Ireland, in the year 1798, and came to this country about 
fifty years ago and for many years resided in Gaysport.  He was a good 
citizen, a zealous Catholic and a true friend, and we have no doubt was 
ready for the summons however sudden the announcement.
