SINGULAR CASE OF HANGING.-A singular
case of death from hanging occurred near
Mahanoy city. Pa, recently. An infant, a few
months old, was sleeping with its parents in
bed. Awakening some time in the night, the
mother missed her child. Raising herself tc
search for the babe, she discovered il hanging
outside of the bed suspended by the neck by
the string OF its night clip caught on one OF the
pegs of the bed rail. Life was extinct II
seems that the child was accidentally slidine
out of bed, and, as 1t passed over the bed
rail, its clothing caught on one of the pegs by
which the bed cord is attached, and thus sus.
pended, il could give no cry by which the
parents might have been awakened.

The grandest and most imposing Sc
ries of Mass Meetings ever held i'm this
county, We're held during the past week
byour gallant Democracy. Thesemeet-
ings commenced at Mrs Morgart's, in
West Providence township, on Monday,
Sept. q. A large delegation from Bed
ford, headed by the Democratic Brass
Band, went to this meeting. 1t was
joined on its way by delegations from
Colerain, Snake Spring, and Bloody
Run. The last named delegation had
a banner with a portrait of President
Johnson and underneath it were sus-
pended two dead ducks, the one labeled
Gerry, the other THud. .YerenS. An
other feature was an old fashioned game
rooster sitting, proud as Il monarch, a.
m0ng the branches of a hickory. The
enthusiasm was intense and every
thing passed off in fine style. Power
fuI and convincing speeches were made
by Hon. J. Mcdowell Sharpe, and &.
II. Spang and 0. Z. Shannon, Esqrs.
We have not been handed a list of the
officers of this meeting.-In the even
ing an impromptu meeting was organ
lied at Bloody Run, in front of Blacks
Hotel. Able speeches were made by
Hon. J. Mcdowell Sharpe and w. c.
Schaher, Esq. During the speaking
some rowdies, set on by some of the pi-
Gus Radicals of Bloody Run, undertook
to break up the meeting, by interrupt
ing the speaker and throwing stones in
to the crowd, but some Of the gallant
Democratic boys ''went for" the scoun-
drcIs, who beat a hasty retreat. This
meeting was very large and was grand
success. Bloody Run will do its duty
