Brief Biography Of a Clergyman and
Soldier.

Erorl the Pitssburg Post.
The sad intelligence was received in
the city last evening, that Rev. Father
Richard G. Christy. the well-known Cath
oiic clergyman, had died at Columbus.
Ohio, yesterday. The announcement Of
his death will cast q gloom over Western
Pennsy lyania, throughout which he was
SO well known as TIE fighting chaplain
lie was attached to the Seventy. eight
Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, com
nanded by Col. VIM. Sirwell. Of Kittan-
ming, which belonged to Nogley's Brigade
in the army Of the CumperIand. Well
Goes the writer remember the day that
the brigade embarked from the wharf OF
this city on steamb boat, and the crowd at
rracted to witness their departure. Much
to their horror the hurricane deck of one
OF the boats broke and number Of SOL
diers were injured. The Catholics on that
occasion were proud to know that the faith
fal priest was on hand to give spiritual
consolation to the wounded, aud cheer the
afflicted. Through the entire war Father
Christy was devoted to the cause of the
Union, always on hand to give religious
counsel to the wounded. and equally
ready to take his gun to make common
cause against the enemies of his country,
When the war was over the fighting
chaplain returned with the Seventy
seventh, Seventy ninth and Seventy eighth
Regiment, and resumed charge OF
his old congregation near Kittanning.
When the annual reunion Of the heroes
Of the war was held throughout the
country the lighting chaplain occupied a
prominent place in The front ranks with his
comrades, Gen. Phil. Sheridan and Others,
and has on several occasions enlivened the
assemblage with his happy anecdotes OF
camp life and the trials attendant upon
long sioges.
After a short stay at Kittanning, Faith
er Christy took charge of the church at
Ebensburg, the county seat of Cambria,
where he was stationed for many wears.
and built 81 fine church and PASTORAL resi-
dence and established a PASTORAL school
tor young children. A few years ago he
was assistant at ST. Patrick s, where his
health failed, and for a time was stationed
at Mercy Hospital. Afterwards he was
called to take charge of church at Col
umbus, and thus he hands over his flock
70 the keeping Of the Lord, who has r.
isved him of his good work.
Father Christy's life IS a lesson for the
rising generation. He was one of the
five brothers and two sisters, viz: Or.
Christg, of Oil City, John A. Christy,
AIrs. Andrew Butler and Mrs. VIM. J.
Bonner, whose ancestors are among the
pioneers of Campria County. Father
Christy was about so years of age, and
during the half century he lived he cor
tributed as much of the milk of human
kindness to those he came in contact
with as the most noted philanthropists.

heady and frequently adulterated stmulants of
commerce, Inc med zeal practitioners of a century
ago were electrified on first observing the reviv-

Gently introduced, but which has since become
the most popular medicine sold on this continent,
viz; Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Their AS
ishnept and admiration were increased when ex-
perieuce farther discloses that this botanic remedy
effected results which the mineral drugs of the
the Pharmacor9is often utterly failed to
prodnce, among others, the permanent res
digestive, secretive and evacuatiye rreyularitics
and the eradication aud prevention Of periodic
fevers. Speedy recognition of the merits of the
Bitters by unprecedented and ned physician.
naturally followed this revelation Of medical facts
which have since received such frequent and posi-
