Pretty RadIX TANGLED.

Two drovers who were thoroughly
soaked outside with rain-water, and
thoroughly soaked inside with benzine,
started across the Public Square yesterday
afternoon. Before they had reached the
centre of the space, the legs of one Of
them became pretty badly tangled, and he
tumbled up in the mud. His companion
took him in charge and slowed him away

Gas Escaping.

In several localities of the city the gas
is escaping from the pipes, they having
sprung leakages below the surface. On

was considerably impregnated with the dis

DEPARTURE OF AUTUMN.


The Coming of the Winter.
We arise this morning upon the first day
Of another winter. We commence the
duties of the first day of December. Yes
terday was the last day of the autumn of
1869. The season went out in storm and
cloud and gloon. The very heavens were
hung in black and the clouds seemed weep
ing themselves away at the funeral of the
dead season. The delicious Indian sum
mer did not hnger with us long this year
as is its won't A few bright, scarlet and
golden days greeted us; but they passed
like feetin8 shadows, leaving us again in
mist and cloud and vapor. The wrecks of
the frost-wolk were in withered vegetation
and dead leaves scattered about us early in
the season; and the crisp morning air
and damp chilling winds that blew moan
ingly up from the frozen regions of the
north, gave us much earlier than usual, n
foretaste of winter whose storm-king, with
icy scepter and snowy crown, demands our
obeisance this morning. The autumn
which closed yesterday, as regarded the
weather, was an unpleasant one. But it is
passed
FILED is the blasted verdure of the fields;
And, shrunk into their beds, the howery race
Their sunny robes resign. Even what remained
Of stronger fruits fell from the tree"
In the incessant rounds of the seasons,
then, that forever come and
CO." winter is again upon us
Whether it will be long or short
severe or mild, remains to be seen. Soor
We may expect to see wood and field
spread with their carpet of snow, and the
lakes and streams CONCEALED into fiinty ice
The tinkle of the sleigh bells will perhaps
make merry our thoroughfares anC
street corners, and the juviniles will til
their skates and illustrate the poetry o
motion upon the CLASSY surfaces of tn,
frozen ponds. Sparkling fires will blaze anC
erackle from home hearths, and through
the long winter evenings much enjoymen
and many happy greetings and domesti
reunions will be had.
| "Oh, Winter ruler of TIL inverted year,
| Thy scattered hair with sleet-like ashes filled;
| Thy breath CONCEALED upon thy lips; thy cheeks
4 Fringed with beard made white with other SHOWS
Than those of age thy forehead wrapped in clouds
| leafess branch thy seeptre, and thy throne
| sliding car, indebted to no wheels,
| But urged by storms along its slippery way;
| Hove thee, all unlovely as thou seem'st,
| And dreadful as thou art"
