HOLLIDAYSBURG HAPPENINGS.
Death of a Reckless Man.

  Jacob Mosey died on Saturday last at the house of Solomon Smith, in 
Freedom township.  Mr. Mosey was but a young man, and had but recently 
returned from Allegheny City.  While in prison his lungs became 
diseased which caused his death.  He was without fear and reckless 
beyond degree.  On his trial it was proven that he boarded an engine 
going up the mountain with a bag of powder, on which he sat while the 
sparks were falling thick and fast around him.
