Sign Your  Communications.

The Herald quite frequently receives communications that do not
have the necessary signature of
the writer attached, and consequently they are assigned to the
waste basket. We must insist on
the name being attached, not for'
publication, but as a matter of gocd
faith on the part of the author. As
we freely extend the use of the
columns of The Herald to any
reputable citizen who has a legitimate cause to lay before the public, we cannot afford to deviate
from our rule. We received recently through the mail a communication concerning the changing
of ths school hours, and if the gentleman who wrote the article will
kindly communicate with this
office that we may know from
whence the communication came,
we will1 give the same to our readers in the next ipsue.—Editors.

B. 0. CHRISTY.
B. C. Christy died suddenly last Saturday morning, at the home of his son
George P. Christy, on Beaver street. He was 64 years of age." He had suffered for some time from valvular disease of the heart, but his death was wholly
unexpected.
Mr. Christy was born in Westmoreland county and was admitted to the
Allegheny county bar in 1866. During the Civil war he served in Clark's
One Hundred and Twenty-third Pennsylvania Volunteers, but was wounded and
invalided home. He also was a member of the Legislature in 1874-6. He leaves
two sons, George P. and Harry, who is in the West, and a daughter, Mrs. B. C.
Blaisdell, who lives in Michigan.
Mr, Christy, some years ago, was active in license court, where his "Book
of Fate" was known to all liquor dealers, and the man who went before him
and hoped that his record was unknown soon was made acquainted with this
register, Which quickly brought to light the deeds of applicants, which they
hoped had been forgotten, .   .
The funeral services, and the funeral, of the deceased were carried out in
accordance with his! wishes. The pallbearers were chosen from among his close
relatives and intimate friends, In keeping with his desire, Mrs. J, Sharp McDonald sang mos#impressively > "Lead Kindly Light," and also the hymn "Some
Sweet Day. '* T?he services were conducted by the Rev. G. D. Crissman, pastor
of the Methodist Episcopal church. The remains were interred in the Sewickley
cemetery.     ''

a careful observer and a pleasing
