IrRax OUR OWN coRREsPoxDEST.I

NEW YORK, Nov. Is, 1869.
=, III be snow delays its coming to New York and
b. .soagh we have had hurries of ten minutes
iufstion, the fakes have not yet whitened this
D 'mpnre metropolis. Chicago, ST. Louis, Cincin-
k-ti, and other remote and frigid cities of the
, FWsst, are already suffering the pangs of an
a Samerean winter but every prospect pleases here
i 7et, though man continues vile.
= Gold weather, however, is nearly upon us;
md the European steamers are still bearing away
1i eargoes of our citizens to more genial climates
,thaa those OF our Atlantic coasts. Among the
passengers by the City Of Brooklyn, day before
yesterday, were p. Pitmau, late of Hilo, and
Emily They have sold their beautiful place IN
ouaery ille Mass and intend to reside for several
rnrs in Europe. After visiting London and
pszis, they will probably take up their winter
anerters in Germany.
The rest Of us who can not go to Europe, con-
le ourselves with such glimpses of the ideal as
New York affords. One Of the pleasantest of
@the<a is the annual private reception, at the
AcaSemy of Design, given by the artists of the
sitg 30 their friends at the opening of the winter
sxh5bition. The gathering upon this occasion, a
II nu pany assembled 1 noticed William Cullen
Egant with his white and bard-Iike beard, as
"pzsilical and rs healthy-lOoking as ever Mr..
an 2 p Cranch, the POet-artist, of whom L spoke
oe m ewhat at length in a late letter and Mr. 5.
Clifford, who creates real landscapes of Already,
ar ri while he paints with great fidelity nature,
ou e. difuses over all his canvas CLEANS OF " the
I Az Dc that never was on land or sea- Mr.. E.
hi nsOn, too, was there, one of our clevercst
lists; Mr.. Loop, whom had last seen i'll the
. academia dele Belle Arti - in Venice; Mr..
IN Elten, German painter of ability who is
rg uralzed among us and many others of artistic
sSste- There was delicious music, as usual; no
cefper; but a social entertainment the recep-
pn was success. Many of the most prominent
iePnbers of fashionable society were present.
, mpng these 1 noticed Leonard Jerome, the ex-
= npiaiist and hOrse-iancier, who has lately re-
? 1tied from Europe, with mOustache quite as
) onz as ever. The architects were represented
Etwo Of their best-known men, Mr.. Mould and
. ar Calvert Vaux. Mr. Mould, besides being
la oct the only architect that has re-introduced
ht pointed architecture, in this country, in the
, ,niding of private houses, is also thorough
, n IAN scholar. All of the translations of the
Pa h6Teffi that are nOw in in this city
Htfe made by him.
, Put must not detain your readers with merely
Pef=onal gossip. 1t is enough to say that the
Pail Reception of the artists of New York
not inferior to any previous one that |
e@te attended The New York Tribune, in
~ KING oil the occasion, complained that the
anu tue dresses OF the company were more
'reu tnan the pictures upon the walls; but
7 WIS captIous criticism for society has its
oFn Charm and claim, whether in art-galIeries or
prnate pariors; and the winter months give time
ennlgh for the study of the pictures.
W another pleasant opening ceremony tbinL

&C clubhouse of the German Liederkranz
iety- A concert, supper, and ball. were
- upon the Inauguration night; and the
was very German and very pleasant. 1
ie'inies think that the Germans are the onlv
NPpy people in New York.
