LOCAL AND PERSONAL.

  John Campbell, an old pioneer of the Allegheny mountains, popularly 
known as "Old Jacker," died at his home, in Snyder township, Blair 
county, on Saturday morning, at the advanced age of nearly eighty-eight 
years.  He was buried on Tuesday in a burial lot which he had cleared 
off near his isolated home, and his funeral was attended by the various 
hunting clubs of Blair and other counties, whose members made his 
mountain home their headquarters during their annual hunting 
excursions.
