Police REpoRT-MAYoR's OFFICE
Francis Dufey, for dsorderly conduct on West
street last ight was discharged with an admoni;
sion. He was confined in the watch house all
night, ana this mornsnghis wife appeared at the
Mayors Office to effect his release. Her con-
dition, however, this morning was similar to
that in which her husband was last night, but
she was discharged after being made to look
at herself in mirror ~.
William Davis and Frank Young, colored,
for giving a ball at which so much noi"e was
created that the neighbors were disturbed late
last night, were discharged upon the payment
OF costs.
The Mayor took occasion after disposing Of
this case to remark that balls of similar charac-
ter to the one at which this disturbance had oc-
Cured, must not hereafter.he keep up after !

THE eighborhood of the places in which they

INDIAN SUMafER.-Is this Indian-Summer
It has been said: that. any spell Of pleasant
weather coming between the middle OF October
and the 10th of November is entitled to that
name; if more than enc Of such comes the last
one is the Indian Summer. Atal events we have
lately had beautiful weather, and, IN happy con-
junction with the pleasant days, most glorious
moonlight nights To those who have the op.
portunity, the present is most pleasant season
for ranbles by day, or strolls by night. The
young man with a sweetheart, who does not
make progress in his suit with days and nights
like the present to favor him does Mt deserve
to have one.

!, AUTUMN. The shade and forest trees have
fallen into the sere and yellow leaf" which
come rafting down with every wind that rusties
through their so lately verdant branches
Many of the groups Of trees about the city are
beautiful in their contrasted colors. Christ
Church is we'll set off by the trees that sur
round it,-their yellow, and, crimson and
brown foliage, making it look more venerable
than ever. The trees will soon be bare, and
the bleak winds Of winter are coming apace'
The present are days of grace to the farmer,
and to the poor and lriendless also.
