LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCE, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1880. -Oleaster intrfligtnrrr, WEDNESDAY EVENING. DEC. 22, 1880. BAER'S AIiMANAO. AUW.ll. IX&THUTION'. Iti Oilgln Hint Spread Consulted by u Millien Courts :tnl Clec-Ks hct by it. There arc very few persons native te or resident in Lincastcr county for any con siderable length of time, who are net ac quainted with Bacr'.s almanac. Only the recollections of the "eldest inhabitants" antedate it, and the memory of this and the preceding generation .se.ucely inns te the time when it was net a "household work." in the widest sense of the lei in. A publication that has existed for lil'ty-six years, steadily inci easing the number of its patrons, and widening the ciicle of its readers every j ear, maintaining nearly all of its general features and unable tech tngc any of them w itheut imp.i'u ing in some de gree the long established cenlidencc of its leaders and students, must have a his tery worth narrating and many features of its publication have a novel interest and a deep local significance. There are almanacs and almanacs ; and the partiality of the European peasantry for such publications, which has been maintained by generations of thcii des cendants in this ceuutiy, has ever made the almanac a household necessity here, and in ouefeim 01 another there are new ever a bundled regiil.u jeaily publications of this sort in Amei ic.;, besides the m. un fold advertising deice- of this kind. Shrewd adcrtiseiseaily recegiii.ed with what diligence and confidence the almanac was conned ami seized upon it as a popu lar mode of ailvei Using. The immense gratuitous ciiculatieii of advu Using al manacs, it would have been supposed, had - almost entirely supei.sedcd the old fashion cd calendars, sold generally at the retail price of ten tents apiece. Weudeiful te relate, the demand lei Uaei't. almanac has kept steady pace with the increase of such publications, ami is te day greater than ever known before. The Velhsfrcniid w.u established in 1808; Jehn ll.ier became connected with it in 1817, and in lei he began the pub licatien of the l.u-lish almanac, piier te that a Gciinan alinanae published .it !ei -man tow n, being eliiclly depended iii.n in this section. His lust issue of sonic lie thuusaud copies lesembled in in my fea tures the almanac of te day. The ealcu latiens were made by Chailcs V. Kugle mau, a Heading schoolmaster, and the astioneiuie.il pages were .set up veiy much as they are new, l-'or uculy half a cen tury the type of these pages remained the same subject only te modification-, and coircctiens fieni yen te car. A fewe.us age new type was pieeured and if the de mand continues te increase the publishers will have te reseit te stereotyping te sup ply it. Hut no inateii.il ehaugc could lie made in the appearance of these pages without ci eating a suspicion of their veii ty. It is the astioiieniie.il page that is of chief interest te our ceuutiy folk, and it is astonishing what Ien they display in explaining it. The picteii.il display of the waxing and waning, the "lijiht'"' and "daik "' "lull ,'" "half" and "uuaitei" of the moon by cuts of the human face is a Gcimati idea e.u ri:d out en the old Dutch clocks new se much sought after as "heiiloems'' in fash ionable residences. The iulhience of the moon en the customs of domestic life is very gcnei.illy recognized by the wiile cir cle of Uaei's almanac icadeis,aud that tips is te be done or that net done in the "up going" and "down going,"' in tiic lifdit or the daik of the moon is ,i , iueeiab!y fixed as was ever Medes and Puisiau law. Next te the moon in impeiiaucc are the little animals indicating the place of the moon in the signs of the zodiac. On the last page is the well known cut of the dis dis emeowelled and naked man, 'uueanded by the animals with lines indicating each paiticular put of the holy that is afl'ectcd by the respective Mgns The lamb lies peacefully abo'.e his head ; the "twins" contiel his arms ; th' "bull" his neck, ve, This analeniy is deemed of the highest impeiiaucc and the emission of it fiem one issue of the alma nac cicatcd such an eutciy that it had te be restored. 15y these " signs," as indie.i ted in the fifth column of t lie astionemic.il page, people plant and cook, bleed and are bled, buy and scij, :Ulll thousands are guided by them "u the eidiuuy aifaiisef life. Depaituie fiem thrni erdisregaid of them is attended with disastieus results. Te expect anything te pi egress planted in the backward sign of the " crab " is a l i diculeus extreme of credulity. A gentle man in this city, who never fails te get his hair cut in the sign of the lien, mis took the lien for the goat some time age a quite natural mistake, since about the only difference in the cuts is that the goat's tail luinsup and the lien's tad turns down and the result was tha:he astonished himself by tiie development of butting piepensities. Sheitdiaircd people who de net want te patienizu the barber get their hair cut in the sign of the crab. The "rcmaikablc das' column is one of interest and study and old leadei.. and students of JJaer'.s almanac knew the sig nificance of them all. Houscheuldeis who de net bake "fastiuclits" en Sluee Tuesday have snireicd fiem the invasiea of reaches in the kitchen for a year alter. The farmer who does net recognize that the ground hog leeks for his shadow en Candlcmass is shei t-sightcd indeed. The position of the ember days" has great weight in controlling the juice of grain. If they arc high in the mouth grain will be high ; if low in the mouth grain will be low. The ember days next year will be March 9, June 8, September 21, De cember 21 ; se that grain will be low in the spring and rise in the fall and winter indicaatiens that point te scant harvests. A column that denotes the hour of high water at Philadelphia had been for many years mistaken by an old farmer as the gau:jc of the ps ice efgrain and iic never dis covered his mistake by observation of any false prophecy by the almanac. The time given ler me using ami setting ei tnc sun regulates the clocks and watches of the almanac's leaders and time pieces are '"set with the sun" which keep aceeid with Bacr's almanac. In the column of " miscellaneous particulars "' many tacts of astronomical importance are given and it would astonish some of the ' fresh" members of the "Stir club" te leain hew far tHcir grandmothers had traveled sky ward by the study of this dcpaitmcnt. The table of " moon's phases '" &c., at the left hand corner of each "right hand page, giving a prediction of the general prospect of the weather at each change of the moon is prepared by the editor of the almanac in accordance with gcii"iiI laws of meteorology. The "probable state of the weather," predicting it for every day in the year, is only a geed guess biscden the same scientific principles. The tabic of dates of the courts of quaitcr sessions and common picas in the several counties of the commonwealth is a characteristic fea ture of Baer's almanacs. Which recalls a funny incident eccuriiug some yens age, illustrating at once the dependence placed upon the almanac and the evil results of a mistake occurring in it. One month in the " short almanac " en the List page of the cover was inadvcilcntly clipped of a day and the Dauphin county ceuits, by reason thereof, were all wrongly ordered ler the year. The pictures which are new used te illus trate each month are comparative!.' new. another scries, of different plates, 'having been in vogue for the first feity ye us. Af ter that they were tee much' worn for further use or for reproduction, Tie almanac serves the puipesu of a diary te a very large extent among its prtreus, and notes of household events adorn the margin of the days and weeks column. The birth of children, and the hatching of chickens, the weather, the boiling of sjap, butcheiing, planting, and ether domestic events arc duly rceesded. iTiin into Willi-im Whiteside, esu., was went te ask for an almanac with a wiuc margin te serve these purposes, and these who thus use the almanac carefully trea sure their household files of them. The astronomical calculations, which, as stated, were originally made by Lglcmau, arc new computed and furnisl. cd by Law rcnee J. Ibaeh, a blacksmith astionemer. at Newmanstown, who was a student et Eglcman, a fact which commend.' me re liability of his calculations. The agricul tural matter of the almanac; exposition of land law ; cures for man and "past ; peetiy; anecdotes; the one tlir.-i"" steiy always illustrated by a half-p Vfi cut, and the page and a half of deimssi is receipts" are all prepared, compiled, ar langcd ami edited by Mr. Kcuben A. IJacr, who ha beer, identified witl the publica tion of the almauae fiem its infancy. Piebably no printed matter i mere care fully read and digested, for hi this great county and wherever families' have gene out from it, Bacr's almanac, 7xt te the Bible, is the most generally lead, the most frequently tinned te and the mc-it cenfi dently bclieved-in publication. The present front cover of the atrial iac, depicting agricultural scenery, was Jt,gn edby Kdwin Claikseii some tweuty-fc ve ..iic .-. liein.f imnmvhat different Fre.ui the ei igmal, but the title page is pnnte d exactly as it was .: 1823. The fable e movable feasts, the cluonelogical cycles and the church days aiMscriptuieieadin,'S are icgaided as high authority. The fore casting of eclipses is w.ilriieil with very geueial wonder. But the ifcrm of pcihap .n... .lest, interest is the translation fiem the tieimaii Centennial almanac of the pi edict- , cd charactciisties of the jear se- far as in- ' flueiieed by the reigning planet, wlucn n Usbl, wl lbe Saturn, the matiife:Uti'ns el wl.ese nile are thus he j aided : liiejtngii ef.-.:iturii. Veir in (lateral. Tim Satuiniuc vc. ar is cold and humid ; for iietwithsUnding 't is at times somewhat diy, it is mostly Hi. d with lain, and therefore a cold and iu -pleasant year. Spriiiilit ciy dry, and until May, ;cry cold, with frequent hosts; efterwaids it will be middling pleasant, waim intei spciscd with lain, (i.vssaud fiewei.s will come late. Summer -Will be cold, Mrith frequent lainy weather, and therefore unfiiutful; ineie than the half of the minth l" July will, however, be very warm and pl.us.uit, but the remaining p.ut will lie continually humid, with steims and heavy laisis. Autumn Will also be co'.d and tuituid ; it will freeze caily, but will notwithstand ing be again succeeded by a heavy thun dcigust. When the half of October has passed, it will commence te get cod. .hi December it will be humid and w.uin. 1 1V ter Will continue until i':e 21st ei Match of the following yeai. In the ba gining it will be humid, with rain and heavy shewcis. On the 21st of December the gteuud will bu fiezeu shut, accom panied with heavy snow and severe cold, and will scat ccly open before Ajwil Cultivation of bummer Oram. As tlie .spiing will be cold and unpleasant, and no continued waimth will fake place before June, it will net be advisable te be in a Jinny with seeding. Lentils, peas and ether leguminous plauts should be sewn en lean ground, se that they will net din ing the very wcl summer loteff nor sprout eitt. Bailey will succeed well, but there will be difficulty in bunging it in. Owing te continued lain, much of the giain will spieutin the car. Vlax .ill be v.uieus. Cabbage will be apt te let.

Bye and w heat sheitstl be sewn timely, for the grain will giew slowly, notwithstanding the abifudanee of rain, and neither in the autumn nor the the coming spiing should be pci mittcd te run en en the grain lields, for the winter grain will net grew lightly enwaid this j ear. Fruit. Fiuit will succeed tolerably well; paiticulaily pears ; prunes will be very abundant. J fops. Heps will jield but little, but will be of geed quality. Grape Culture. The giape-vinc will have a premising appearance in the spring, but will net yield much, for generally the fruit will fall oil", mostly in the blossom ; and the grapes that remain, be they many or few, will net lipcn, and nothing but a vinegar-sour wiuc can be expjctcd. The grapes should be "gathered early in the fall, for almost everything will freeze. Tempest ami Thundcrgui-tx. Twe or three tunes during the year stieng tempests and heavy rains will occur, but net many tempests attended with thunder and lightning ; some will occur in the spiing, attended with dangerous hail. Reptile and Vermin. Snakes and toads will be numerous and in winter mice will he abundant. There will net be se manv worms in the grain as in ether yea is, and in the winter they will be killed by the se vere cold. Disease:'. Towards the end of summer, and in autumn dangerous diseases will prevail, almost of a pestilential nature, a fatal fevers, diauheca, dyscntciy, ite , eiiginating mostly from cold humors. These are the charactciisties of a book that hangs in nearly every Lancaster coun ty household, ami wherever Lancaster county has planted families, and far be yond these limits. Last year's edition '. amounted te 1S9,009 copies. The ship ments this year outside of the county up te date have been 1,01 gross (1-P.t,024 copies.) Last year up te January 2(5, when the sales stepped, they were 991 gross (113,1.5(5 copies,) net te speak of some 40,000 copies or au average of one te each family distributed through Lancaster county. These arc sold by retail by the publishers and ether booksellers, by coun try storekeepers, peddlers and news agent, and many men aud women have regular customers whom they supply with them. Wholesale dealers in Philadelphia aud else where take large quantities, one house tak ing loOgiess. A dealer in Woestcr, Ohie, buys -10 gi ess. The edition iias increased te its present figure from 40, 000 copies in 1SD9. Decides these sold ever the ceunisy and te dealers the publishes mail many single conies in answer te eiders fiem every pait of the country. Dining Buchanan's pres idency llacr's almanac hung en a nail in the White Heuse and the mistress of the eeeuthc mansion in these days never fails te aunualIyeidcr one, te this day. In all the shipments of last year net a dollar was lest by misplaced confidence in the purchaser. The demand for the almanacs continues gradually decreasing up te Februaiy of the eui rent i car. Meantime, Mr. IJacr, is already at work en the almanac for 18S2. They will go te press with the forms in 3 lay, and by July the first orders will bc cin te come in. Net for a Vertune.
