heahul Of out door exercise after ali--our judges
With faces embrowncd, with muscular lbres more
closely KNIT with eyes giving forth the bright sparkle
OF recuperated health ana with braus more clearly
poised for tho mental strain TO which they

officials are more hardly worked than our
judges. Alter nine months of unccasing labors,
lasting from LIST OF October until the lsl OF July.
there is whose physical and mental energies
well nigh exhausted by tho unend,ng pressure
OF their duties respite IRON their tolls Is
all essential They could not do good work otherwise.
The beginning OF the legal year, which opens to-
morrow, will doubtless Sec all back in their
toned places. Lawyers, too who have occupied the
vacation laying in renewed health, will now begin TO
show themselves as thck as leaves in Valiambrosa.
Everything inaicates enough work Tor both judges
ana lawyers. Each year, with an Increase OF our
population, finds proportionatc increase in

pointed. Many lawyers whose faces were formerly
familiar In the of legal strife have gone

world as elsewhere. Meantime tho vacation
rooms Nearly all the walls have been ncwly

In several OF them other much needed improvements
havo been made, more particularly with reference 10
better ventilation, and the probability Is that the judi
cal epidemic that threatened some months ago such
fatal results Will not again show ITSELF
Tho supreme Court, Gcneral Term, Will DO hcld, as
heretofore, by Chief Justice Davis and Judges Brady
aud Daniels. On the calendar there 3S5 cases,

lures under false ?recnces, and grand larceny Both
branches OF the Court OF General Sessions will hold
sessions during the month Part being held by Judge
