TYRONE TOPICS.

  By telegram yesterday we were informed of the death of Martin Vail, 
which occurred in the Danville asylum on Wednesday, in which 
institution he had been a resident for a year past on account of mind 
trouble, produced by illness.  He was for many years in the employ of 
the Pennsylvania railroad on the Tyrone division, occupying the 
position of division foreman.  He was a faithful and efficient employe.  
His remains will likely be brought to this place for interment.
