Swallowed a Pin.

Mrs. Mary J. Wright, a young married lady of Clarskville, accidentally swallowed a pin on last Friday nigh week, which becoming lodged in the throat, is likely to be attended with serious if not fatal consequences. This should be a warning to young ladies who are in the habit as so many of them are, of, holding pins in their mouths constantly. - - Mar. 16, 1871
