Gentlemen's Wcar.--Much as is said about
the alaiest styles" for ladies' i should be renem-
bersd that gentlemen are aswell interested in The
newest fashions for hsnsssivss; and not unirc
quenty both sexes 60 aiittls beyond what good
taste juslifrs, in their outward adornments. We
have not consulted the aplates," but il is said The
coat is TO be cut dihereatly now from what il was
last autumn. The man who will not acquiesce
in the style must be classed with his fellows Of q
past generation; but, we fancy that but few who
are able 10 purchase fine garments will refuse TO
obey the tyrannicsl edict. The hat is now more
fanciful than of yore; the brim being left in us
rough pushy state, while the cylindrical part Oft
is close and shiningly smooth.
There are other belongings, Of new style, for
those who love fashionable wear, and our friend

articles which complete a gentleman's wardrobe.
Talk about the ladies' INDUCING fine dress!
Why, the gentlemen are just as fond oft. Ifthere
is any wide difference between the two in relation
this subject, il is in the fact that the former
little more particular in making their selections,
and perhaps more difficult TO please owing to
their superiority Of taste. But, we areot exactly
certain that we are right in our conjecture.
An Equestrian Feat-While Mr.. Phillip
Mackey was riding near the railroad station, yes
terday afternoon, he was pitched from the saddle
over the horses head, the animal having stumbled.
This happened just at moment when we were
in quest of an item, although we have no reason
TO believe that the performance was intended for
our especial qualification. Seriously, We were at
fret alarmed for the riders safety, be having struck
on his head and lay full length in the dust. Seve
raj gentlemen ran TO his assistance, but, just as
they reached the spot Mr.. Macky rose to his feet
and again eaped into the saddle; the horse, after
il stumbled, having halted Fortunately, though
he must have been considerably frightened, he
sustained no serious hurt, and galoped Off with a
smiling countenance. Trihing as may appear
this incident, we presume that no one would be
willing TO initiate this ground and lofty tumbling
@Reported Cholers. 1.-THE Globe Of yester-
day afternoon, under this head, says:
g Some alarm has been created this morning by
the report that cholera to some extent prevails in
the city. Mr.. Thomas Wheeler, formerly Of Bal
timore, living on Indiana avenue, near Second
street, was taken suddenly i'll yesterday, after his
return from Baltimore, where, il is stated he very
injudiciously partook OF some oysters and this
morning breathed his last The attending physi-
clan, we understand, reports the case as one of
cholera, but il is probably aggravated case Of
cholera morbus."
Several Of the recent sudden deaths in this city
were occasioned by eating unsound oysters and
tainted fish, has been clearly ascertained and
the remaining cases, perhaps, may be attributed
10 similar causes.
