HOLLIDAYSBURG HAPPENINGS.

Mr. James Curran died at the residence of his son, Mr. Charles Curran,
on Mulberry street, yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock, after a brief
illness of one week's duration.  The deceased was born in the state of
New York in the year 1812.  He was a gallant veteran soldier, serving
the union as a private in company M, Sixty-second regiment of
Pennsylvania volunteers.  At a later period in the war he was a member
of the Seventy-sixth regiment.  He leaves four sons to mourn his death
- Allen and William Curran, of New York city, and Charles and John
Curran, of this place.  Mr. Curran was a tailor by occupation, but the
past few years has been leading a retired life.  He was a familiar
figure on our streets, of a quiet and unostentatious manner and a man
of many exemplary traits of character.  A requiem mass will be had
over the remains on Wednesday morning at 9.30 o'clock, at St. Mary's
Catholic church.  Interment in the Catholic cemetery.
