Herdman, took a clandestine trip to New York city, a week or two since, and did not leave his address with his parents. Previous to bis departure he had seemed very despondent over his studies, and his eontinued absence soon greatly alarmed the Doctor and his estimable wife. However the boy turned up all right; though Dr. Herdman was obliged to make the trip to New York to look him up. The New York papers conceived the idea that the boy was on his way to Cuba or some other rebellious locality.
