part of his life was located in Pitts-
burg, Pa., where for some time he
practiced medicine. During the Civil

of years past he has been at the head

HON. A. J. BARTHOLOMEW, 50.

lege at Leicester Academy, where he
graduated in 1850. He then taught

fellow townstnen and served them in
various local offices. In 1868 he was

member of the State Senate, where he
rendered important service in the revi-
sion of the statutes. For many years
he held the Government offices of Col-
lector of Internal Revenues and Register

and professional skill won for him a
high rank among the lawyers of Wor-
cester County, where he secured many

practitioner. In 1894, he was appointed
Judge of the First District Court of
Southern Worcester County, which
office he held at the time of his death.

Eighty-Eight.
During the Summer the Decennial
Record of the Class of Eighty-Eight has
appeared. It contains a very full and
interesting story of the Reunion and an
excellent supplementary record of the
Class from Sexennial to Decennial. A
very good feature of the record is’ the
full page portraits of the members of
the Class who have died since Sexennial.
The Decennial Reunion of the Class of
1888 was voted by all the members who
were here at the time to be the best
Class meeting they ever had, and the re-
port of it which now appears shows
scme good reasons for their opinions.
One of the pleasant features of the re-
port was the passage of a vote of thanks
to Mr. Pond, the Class Secretary, and
the appointment of a committee to pre-
sent to him a memorial on behalf of the
Class. This. memorial later sent to him
has already been described in the
WEEKLY.
