HOLLIDAYSBURG HAPPENINGS.

DEATH OF JOHN GARDNER.

  Mr. John Gardner, who was crushed beneath a fall of slate in the 
Frankstown slope mines, some three weeks ago, died at 1 o'clock on 
Friday morning and will be buried in the Catholic cemetery at 3 o'clock 
on Sunday afternoon.  Death, no doubt, was a welcome visitor.  He was 
never able to swallow a particle of solid food since he was injured, 
the lower portion of his body being paralyzed.  He leaves a wife, but 
no children.
