Professor J. R. Judd took his final dash OF prac-

yesterday afternoon. He was in good spirits. good
condition, well down to his work ana gave great
satisfaction TO mis- friends VINO witnessed the per.

easy swinging gait, perfectly ar home, confident
In his powers and using his limbs with
all the mastership OF man completely
intimate with his own formation. When

rather opposite the Professor, for the table
