AUrUMN.-Now thatth leaves begin to assume
their autumnal tints, and the shadows are length
ening over the everlasting hills, quite percepdble
change in the habiliments of those who thgUng
our public streets is noticed. Clothing of llgh.
texture and color Is becoming less and less fire.
quent, and those Of sombro hue have taken their
place. At carly morn and eve people walk along
with considerably more elasticity in their steps,
and q gentleman can wear his overcoat, or a lady
her furs, occasionally, without danger Of being
laughed at.
Those who live out of town reach the city in tho
morning mutiled up in shawls and oyercoats, and

qucnt. Frost is abundant, and the sight of ice
reminds one of the Arctic regions.
The season of winter gayety is abeut to be in
auguraied. Our different places of amusements
are filed nightly 20 OverlOwng, and the light
fantastic toe" is again receiving her usual ranks
Of yotaries. Mirth and gayety prevail on all
sides.
REWARD OF VANITY vain Jerseyman is an
anomaly, for, as general rule, citizens OF New
Spain have nothing whereof they can boast. Bat
Mr. J. Downs forms an exception to our rule and
yesterday the eyes of our citizens ached from tse
effect Of the brilliant flashes of sunlight reflected
from the wheels of Mr.. Downs new carriage.
Up Chesuut street and down Market flew the
glurIng turnout, until the existence of Mr.
Downs new carriage was generally known to the
inhabitants of the Quaker City. Finally the
front of a store In Market street was selected as
the point where the purchaser should rost, and
the owner proceeded to screw the storekceper out
of 4 cent per yard for two yards of calico
While the process was in operation
"a wagon came down like wolf on fold"
paused for moment against the Jersey turnout,
and then proceeded peacefully on its way, leaving,
however, load of rubbish on the curbst0ne.
The representative Of Spain having successfully
concluded his bargain, came out and found three
spokes of q wheel and some oilcoth in place Of
his brilliant carriage. The driver of the Ameri-
can Juggernaut was at once seized upon, and
after being cared for by Alderman Welding, de-
parted minus the price of certain equipage,
while Mr.. Downs returned to Spain with more
sense aud less vanity.
