fashionable center of the town, which was IN
the vicinity of Broad and Wall streets. that the

way, near the Bowling Green. into a larger and
grander house, owned by Mr. McComb. Dur
ing his residence here it was his habit to 90

drawn by six horses. The coach was by
far the handsomest one in the city, orna-
mented upon its panels with cupids and Dor
behring's of flowers. 1t must not appear, how
ever. from the seeming elegance of the home
of the President and his equipage, that his
life was not a simple one. As an example of
his habits it is stated that at a select dinner
party only boiled leg of mutton was served
