LOCAL MISCELLANY.

... In this city on Thursday last, at 11 a.m., occurred the death of Mrs. Margaret DAVIS, in the eighty-eighth year of her age. Mrs. DAVIS has been a resident of Fairfield for over thirty years, coming hence from Huntingdon county, Penn, where her husband died a few years previous to her removal. Her life has been a quiet one, but she won the respect of all with whom she had associated, and as a neighbor and friend was highly esteemed. The disease which carried her away was congestion of the lungs, and she had been ill for some time. Mrs. DAVIS was related to the HUFFMANs of this city, and died at the house of Isaac HUFFMAN. Her funeral occurred Friday afternoon. The pall bearers were selected from our oldest citizens.
