TYRONE TOPICS.

Rachel Hillard, aged about 90 years, died at her home near the Fuoss
mill, in Antis township, on Wednesday night.  The husband of Mrs.
Hillard died a number of years ago.  On account of the death of a son
in the army during the rebellion she was on the pension roll, and was
the fortunate receiver of $12 per month from the United States
government for many years.  The funeral will occur on Saturday.
Leaving the Bellwood depot on the morning train the cortege will
proceed to the graveyard in the Glasgow settlement, along the line of
the Pennsylvania and Northwestern, or Bell's Gap railway, where
interment will be made.
