Close of the Fashionable Season-Decltne Of Snob-
ism, $c.
Since the grand ball of the season, which occurred
a week ago, most of the fashionables have dropped
off from the lists of the hotels, though some yet
remain to enjoy the charming weather which has
set in after cold and unpleasant summer
The season at Saratoga has been, altogether,
brilliant. The digntaries of this and other coun-
tries have given their countenanee and their wit,
on numerous festive occasions, and never, in the
annals of this delightful watering place, have
genius and talent been oftener called into action
or received juster appreciation. Society appears
to be taking new and dgnihed turn here, and if
the present be any harbinger of the future, snob-
ism has ignobly breathed its last. For this, Mr..
Editor, we are chiefly indebted to the manly and
well.principled action of the Ncr York Herald, and
we thank you for it. Ing could have been
more unworthy the good heads and better hearts
Of our fair countrywomen, than the affected excu-
siyeness and frivolous amusements which, during
the last few years, have been fostered among them
and We rejoice that, through your al-powerful
influence society is being re- established upon the
firm basis Of good morals, good manners, and last,
not least, good understanding.
The change has been agreeably fel. and ac-
knowledged by all who have participated in the
varied pleasures of each day. Every state in our
glorious MON has contributed its fair representa-
tive, and beauty and intelligence have received
their Just need Of praise. bf the harder We
have had distimguts not few; and the gentlemen
OF widely extended sources, desiring TO c)urage
the prevailing good spirit, have deserted the gam
blirg rooms and bars, and aided by their presence
to increase the excellent harmony. will venture
to asser: thai, while the crimson fountain never
flowed less abundantly, the Messrs Marvin have
seldom reaped richer harvest from their guests.
The springs have been uniailiug in their streams
Of invgorating waters, restoring the blush To the
cleek and FIRE 10 the eye. After visitng in turn,
the most of our summer hau1ti, from Niagara to
Cape May, have found to compare, this year,
with gay, delightful health-restoring Saratoga
The facilities for enjoyment have also been in
creased by the numerous plank roads lately laid
Offering new and beautiful drives 10 the Of
the splendid equipSges drawn up every afternoon
in front of the United states. Cf these, Mr. BIS,
Of your city, is unecpsed. His magnificent black
horses have been surrounded and galed upon with
admiration, by all lovers Of the breed. They are
said to have cost { 300.
Among the visiters still here is the handsome
Frank Granger; also, the VS., B-'s, P-'s, and
W-'s, Of New York; and others, equally entitled
to notice A few persons have private cottages.
Mrs. ex President Tyler is lodged at one Of these,
with her sister, Mrs. B., both well known for their
beauty and elegance. tx President Tyler is ex-
Iected to arrive the early part Of next week. The
HIS have also cottage, at the northern extremity
Of the village. Few Southerners have come among
us this year, mu:h to the annoyance Of the shop
keepers, who depend mostly a pom their patronage
for heavy profits. They are ruralizipg at their
own watering places, as Grst steT towards seces-
sion.
A FIRE broke out, yesterday morning. in the rear
Of the United States, which threatened TO be very
serious, but was finally subdued. after bowling
alley and two or three small private dwellings were
consumed.
The news from Cuba has made some stir here, in
private way--the common butcLcry, o: course, re-
ceiving universal condemnation. MIGRAroR.
