The picture was present ed by Mr. Seabrook , in behalf of Mr. Hoth- cry , in n few felicitous remarks , to which the judge responded moat happily. The recipient stated that ho had known for some time that Mr. Uotbery was engaged on some such work , but the idea that it was to be presented to him in such a manner had never entered his head , nnd ho was never more surprised in his life. ' 'iho portrait is life size , nnd Chief Luois Is authority for the statement that it looks as if the judge was about to open his mouth to say , "Your flue is iS.lt ) . Call up the next one. " The frame is a massive ono of carved wal nut , and is a titling surrounding for the hand some portrait within. The recipient was heartily congratulated b.v the few friends who had been apprised of what was to take place , and stood the ordeal bravely.
