The CALIFORNTAHs IN SEARCH OF Clothes
After the arrival of the Ohio, yesterday, it was
most curious to zee the gold hunters from Cali
fornia, hurrying to the various clothing stores
in the city to procure new clothes, just as those
did on Sunday, who returned in the Prone
theus. They cut most extraordinary figure,
with their old hats. and clothes so worn and
soiled, and their boards unshaven, many of them
being without coats, and some even withou! a
vest. Carriages filled with them were driving
through the streets in all directions, but some
stores seemed to have almost monopoly, in
consequence of runners, who paid pr centage
for bringing the Californians TO them in prefer
ence to other establishments These stores
must have received considerable amount of
the precious stuff, in exchange for their various
articles of clothing The Californians, when
dressed in civilized garments. presented re-
markable contrast to their previous appearance.
Crowds followed the carriages, with eager Gu
riosity, many not knowing who the occupants
were, and the latter seemed to enjoy the excite
ment they created, particularly az they had in
their trunks or belts what enabled them to laugh
at all who passed comments on their dress or
uncouth appearance. The wonderful dust soon
clothed the naked, and made the rough perfectly
smoothly. Y. Herald, Oct. 7.
