HOLLIDAYSBURG HAPPENINGS.

  The funeral of Miss Caroline McFadden, whose death occurred on Friday 
last, took place yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, from the home of her 
step-mother, Mrs. Barbara McFadden, on the corner of Mulberry and Front 
streets.  In the case of this unfortunate woman death was a welcome 
messenger.  For many years she had been continuously afflicted.  By 
reason of the fearful malady which crushed her life she became bereft 
of her reason and was a heavy charge to her family and an object of 
pity.  At one period of her life, while budding into womanhood, she was 
a bright and promising young girl, esteemed as one of the prettiest of 
Hollidaysburg's young ladies and had many admirers.  Her misfortune and 
affliction were alike lamentable, and she is remembered now by the 
friends of her youth with sadness and regret.
