now located in the bouse which has been almost entirely refurnished and redeoorated and presents a most charming appearance. Unless something unexpected should happen tbe Huntington party will remnin in this State until tbo month of June. Tbe Prince is himself a very agreeable gentleman and of rery high lineage, the family of Hatzfeldt being a feudal house of Hesse-Supe-rleure of the Roman Catbollo religion. 1 The Hstzfeldts trace their desoent authentically since the time of Volpert da Hatzfeldt of the Province of Hesse-Nassau as far back as tbe year 1213. By inheritance tbey acquired several lordships or seigniories, which, however, did not reach the dignity of States of the Holy Roman empire.

Among these were iWllden-bourg and Soboenstein in the territory of Rhenish Prussia. John de HatzIeldC married Jutta, sis-tor and heiress of the last noble lord of Wild-en bourg, about 1430, and therefrom the desoent continued through the two sons of Jean de Hatzfeldt, the son of QodetTrol, who died 1S0S. Francois Edmond Josepb-Onbriel-Vitus de Hatzfeldt Is descended from the second branoh of tbe family, and was born at Marxbetm, in tbe province of Hesse-Nassau, on the 15th of June, 1853, and married Miss Claire Huntington at London on the 28th day or October. 1889.
