HOLLIDAYSBURG HAPPENINGS.

  The sudden and unexpected death of Margaret, the infant daughter of 
Mr. and Mrs. George Pressler, on Tuesday forenoon, occurred under very 
distressing circumstances.  The little one was apparently as well as 
usual and was left with a lady friend of the mother while she attended 
to an errand up town.  From an unknown cause the child took severely 
ill and seemed to be suffering for breath, which continued but a short 
time when it died.  The distressed mother entered the room as her 
little one was gasping its last breath.  Upon examination it was found 
that a bealing in the head, near the ear, had broken and the mattery 
substance flowed to the brain, causing death.  The grief-stricken 
parents, who have the sympathy of their friends, are singularly 
unfortunate, having lost two children within a year from diphtheria.  
Little Maggie was their last and only child.
