Thai Have DOnned the HabIllments ,
Mourning.

sistant Private Secretary Pruden was found
arranging in convenient shape all the pr.
yate papers Of the deceased President. The
annual summer hOuse-cleauiug has been in
progress for some time at the Mansion, and
the furniture, carpets, chandeliers, &C.,
have nearly all been removed for renova-
tiop. Strenuous efforts are being made to
restore the apartments to fit condition to
receive the members of the household to-
morrow.
To-day an unwonted stiffness pervades
the city, and u grief that cannot find ex-
preston in words seems pictured upon
every face. Upon all the public buildings
flags are displayed ut half mast, while the
whole city is inst taking on the habilimenls
Of mourning, Almost every building along
the entire length OF the avenue is draped
in black, and thousands OF stores, offices
and private dwellings throughout the city
and Georgetown are being similarly ar
rayed. In many cases the elaborate
work OF the decorators hand Is
visible, All the departments are
closed and the public offices are deserted.
