LOCAL AND PERSONAL.

  G. L. Smith, of Tod township, this county, employed as a brakeman on 
the P.R.R. in the Altoona yard, was so seriously hurt, on Wednesday 
evening of last week, as to cause his death the following evening.  He 
was jolted from his car, and falling to the track several cars passed 
over him.  His scalp was torn almost completely off, his lower jaw bone 
broken, his thigh terribly lacerated and his entire body cut and 
bruised.  His remains were interred in Cole's Valley, his former home, 
on the 19th inst., and being a young man of more than ordinary promise 
his funeral was largely attended.  He was aged 19 years, 11 months and 
16 days.
