FORTY YEARS AGO.
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
Women's Suffrage.
The Long discussed question of Woman's Suffrage was decided at the Institute
last Friday evening in favor of giving the ballot to the ladies by a majority
of one. Some men who have not heretofore been classed with the long-haired
reformers favored the elective franchise.
