HOLLIDAYSBURG HAPPENINGS.

  Miss Grace Bingham, a lady for many years well known in this 
community, died at her home on Allegheny street on Saturday morning at 
9 o'clock.  She had been ill but a few days.  On Monday last she was in 
the enjoyment of perfect health, but during that night became ill, 
suffering terrible pains in the stomach and bowels, which continued 
with but little intermission up to the moment of her death.  Miss 
Bingham was a daughter of the late James Bingham and a half sister of 
Congressman H. H. Bingham, of Philadelphia, and came to Hollidaysburg 
with her father's family in the year 1857, when a young girl, and has 
resided here ever since.  She was of an affectionate disposition, kind 
and considerate in her actions and was esteemed by her friends and 
neighbors.  She was a consistent Christian and was from girlhood a 
member of the Presbyterian church, with which she united on confession 
of faith at the tender age of 15 years.  The funeral services will be 
held at her late residence this morning at 9.30, after which the 
remains will be taken to Philadelphia on day express for interment.
