HOLLIDAYSBURG HAPPENINGS.
Death of a Noble Boy.

  On Monday evening Johnny, the bright little son of F. W. Morton, died 
a victim to that dreaded disease scarlet fever.  The deceased boy was 
about 7 years of age and a general favorite with our citizens.  He was 
noted for his amiable disposition and for being intelligent and manly 
far beyond his years.  His death is not only intensely painful to his 
parents, but many of our citizens have sad hearts, especially his 
youthful associates and school companions.  The funeral will take place 
to-day at 11 o'clock A.M. from Mr. Morton's residence, opposite the 
American House, and proceed to the Presbyterian cemetery.
