The above sad announcement, which reached
us the latter part of last week. will be received
with feelings of sincere sorrow by all who knew
but to esteem and venerate the decea sed prel-
ate and in.this great sorrow not only the Gath
olics of the dioceses of Pittsburgh and AIleghe-
ny, over whom he presided for so many years
Church who loved him for his many ennobline
virtues and hts pure Christian character, will
future Bishop, the particulars of whose death
have not yet reached US, manifested Gesire
for the ecclesiastical state, and in compliance
Congregation of the Mission In his native place
Naturally bright and talented though modest
and unassuminR in his manners, he made such
rapii progr ess In virtue and learning that by a
special dispensation of the Holy Father he was
and some months-a thing that rarely occurs
His youthful zeal desiring a more extended
held than his native land afforded, we find him
in the year 1885 attending to a very scattered
mission in the then wiIds of Missouri having
emigrated to this country a few years previous.
His next position was that of Professor of The
ology in the Diocesan Seminary of Philadelphia
"a position which n one was better qualified TO
MI: He afterwards built the beautiful church
of st. Vincent de Paul, at Gernantown-an ed
ihce which, considering the meagreness and
iaent to his energy and zeal. Here he remained
until Rt, Rev. N. O'Connor resigned the See of
Archbishop Kenrick saw none more worthy to
al. the vacancy than Father Domenec who in
consequence OF this preferment, was ordained

during the sixteen years he continued to exer-
else the duties OF Bishop ali can bear testim ony
to his ardent zeal and patient labors on behalf
of the diocese over which he presided. He was
always punctual in the fultiiment os his ap-
pointments, and neither the inclemency of the
weather nor the endurance of great fatigue
hindered him in his purpose. Under his admin.
istration religion flourished, many new church
es were erected and various charitable iastitu-
tions esta bished. AS Bishop of Pittsburgh he
was widely known aud revered until January

ferred to the new See of Allegheny, in .he for
nation OF which he took so active a part Ear
iy last Spring he departed for Rome in order TO
be present at the Golden jubilee of the Holy
Father and TO arrange some matters pertaining
TO the diocese. While there the many years OF
hard and constant labor which he had endured
began to tell on his constitu ton, and his health h
began TO rail. Being somewhat advanced in
years and worn In body, he became impressed
with the belief that his life was drawing to u
years in retirement, he resigned his charge and
repaired II few months ago to his uative.p!ace,
apparen,iy with the intention of taking his
birth. After many years of thful and eff
cient service in the cause of CHRIST, he returnt
