meridian of his pOWerS. A man OF
great ability, fine judgment n thor
ough1y immersed in the study of the
law. He read law, talked law, thought
law, but still had leisure for b Gull
tivation Of literature and intercourse
with his friends. HIS genial and cor
dial manner, dignity, kindness of heart
| and unselfish service to the young
men of the Bar won their hearts, and
have kept his memory green. He died
in 1884 at ~thirty-eight in the full ma
turity of his great facilities. There
was no honor to which a lawyer could
| aspire that could not have been his
if his life had been spared. His last
argument to the jury in a capital case
was so able a presentation of the law
of circumstantial evidence that it has
ever since served as a model to his
brethren. I have heard it Substan-
TALLY made by members of this Bar at
least a hundred times.

Dortch, a we'll informed lawyer, strong
speaker and elegant conversationalist,
did a large office practice, wrote most
of the deeds and wills and settled most
of the estates of the county. He also
appeared in most of the important
litigation. In clearness and direct
ness of speech, in the grouping of the
facts of his case, and in his ability to
impress the jury, he had few equals.
He twice represented this Senatorial

FOUR GENERATIONS
On Both Sides of the Haseltine Family
Correspondence of Bangor Commercial. ]

Correspondence of Bangor Commercial.
BELFAST, June 19. Four generations on
both sides of the heads of the house is the in
teresting condition in the family of Mr.. and
Mrs. Willis G. Haseltine of this city, formerly
of Dexter. Four generations in one family
are rare enough, but to have four generations
represented on both sides of the house is, in
deed, unusual, and little Ruth and Arthur,
children of Mr.. and Mrs. Haseltine, boast the
distinction of having two living great-grand-
mothers as well as their two grandmothers,
and it is believed that they are the only young
sters in New England who can do SO.
On Mrs. Haseltine's side, Mrs. Sylvia Max
field of Dexter is the great grandmother. Her
daughter is Mrs. S. L. Small, also of Dexter,
and Mrs. SmalPs daughter is Mrs. Haseltine,
mother of the two little children. The rela-
tionship traced from the other side comes from
Mrs. Nj. B. Bragg of Canaan, who is the great
grandmother, through Mrs. W. J. Haseltine of
Dexter, the grandmother, and her son, Willis
G. Haseltine of Belfast, father of Ruth and
Arthur.
Both Mrs. Maxfield and Mrs. Bragg are ex-
tremely interesting women. They are in ex
cellent health and both are very young looking
for great grandmother. Mr.. Haseltine is
agent for the American Express Company
here, where he has been located for about
eight years. He and Mrs. Haseltine are both
very musical, he having fine tenor voice, and
she being an accomplished pianist and vlolinist.
Little Ruth was born in Dexter and Arthur in
Belfast

Reception at the Bassick Home.

A Bridgeport, Conn.,, newspaper gives long
report of a recent social event in that city
from which we quote the following particulars:
Bridgeport society will probably witness no
more brilliant function this spring than the re-
cepton of Mrs. Frederick Cleveland Bassick,
at the Bassick home on Fairfield avenue when
hundreds called during the late afternoon and
early evening of yesterday. The hospitality
of this charming home is proverbial and the
guests were cordially greeted by the February
bride, assisted by Mr.. Bassick's mother. Mrs.
Edmund Chase Bassick, while other members
of the family assisted at the tea table and in
serving. A group of Mrs. Bassck, Jr.'s friends
also assisted.
E The floral decorations of the various rooms
are described at length and were very beauti-
full.
Mrs. Bassick received her guests in the
sick, ST., before a high mantel and mirror,
which was massed with American beauty
roses. Both ladies were in white, the bride of
two months being attired in white Duchess
satin and rose point lace, which gown she
wore on her wedding day, while Mrs. Bassick
Bsssick, Jr., carried brides roses and lilies of
the valley,
The members of the family assisting were
Mrs. Edgar Webb Bassick; Mrs. Charles H.
Fleming, old blue charmeuse, veiled with
black Chantilly lace; Miss Minnie Walter, in
gown Of old rose crepe meteor with tunic of
black spangied chiffon, and wearing corsage
bouquet Of orchids and valley lilies; Mrs.
William H. Parks. Of Springfield, Mass: in
embroidered white crepe; and Mrs. Nelson 81.
Downs, light blue charmeuse having draperies
Of shadow lace and girdle Of rose velvet,
