OUR MERCHANTS UNUSU- ALLY BUSY. There Appeared to be Plenty of Money for Xmas, Goods Trade not as Bad as Gen orally Reported -Chronie Complaining, To the surprise of all our merchants the past holiday season surpassed all expectations. Bellefonte never was as busy as the week before Christmas, From every section of the county there came great numbers of purchasers, while in this vicinity it seemed that everybody had money and was bent upon investing it for holiday goods. Our merchants say they never remem. ber of having such a good season, and their sales were far in advance of last year. The confectioners and bakers almost sold out their entire stock. Such an unexpected state of trade was a surprise, considering the great wail going up in every section of the country in regard to hard times, no money and people actually in want. In Bellefonte we have not felt the effect of hard times. During the past summer a large number of our industries have been in operation. The building of the new Central railroad to Mill Hall gave work to hundreds of laboringmen and teamsters. The past summer was also favorable for the farmer. The crops, taken as a whole, were exceedingly large The apple market was a source of revenne. Many of our farmers realized two and three hundred dollars from their orchards and some as high as five and six hundred. When the calamity howlers began shrieking and the silver scare was at its height everybody became scared and began to store up their ‘earnings. No money, except what was positively necessary, was put in circulation. This had the effect of loading up the average citizen with a nice little surplus, and when Christmas came the purse st rings were relaxed and the merchants wers made happy by a flood of purchasers who seemed to have plenty of the cir- culating medium at their disposal, That our merchants say that they did more business during the past year than form. erly. The banks say the deposits from them wources will prove this state ment—more business during 1883 than 1802, The trouble with many Dusiness men is that they become chronic growlers in their efforts to grow rich quick. An avaricious disposition never leaves one in a contented frame of mind when doing well. They think the shining silver and glittering eagles should pour over their counters like rain from the heavens, thick, fast and in a constant and never ceasing stream. It is in only afewand very rare cases that such things are realized. In these days of close and sharp competition, every pro- fession and avenue of trade is provided with many who are eager to cater to your wants. The days of enormous profits and quickly acquired fortunes are past. The man, who by his efforts can support a family and by reasonable economy can lay by each year, even a small surplus, has occasion to rejoice. There are plenty of business men doing even more than this and are continually cause they are not doing still more. Don’t be avaricious, that breeds dis. content and then life is not worth liv. ing.

Hicks, Tells Us What we may expect, By about the 8rd, the colder weather with clearing conditions will have reached the regions of the Atlantic. At the same time the temperature will be. gin to rise and the barometer will ha falling in the west. The 4th is the cen. ter of a regular storm period, with the new moon on the 6th, calling for the crisis of the period about the 5th, 6th and 7th, Expect rain and snow during the passage eastward of the higher tem. perature and falling barometer, but be on the watch for the cold wave that is certain to follow. A partial relaxation from cold will center on the 10th and 11th and reac- tionary squalls of rain and snow will appear al many points along the pro- gressive line of change from west to east. Renewed cold will follow prompt. ly and severely, filling the time with sharp wintry weather up to the advent of the next storm period. The 16th is the central day of the next period, with the moon's first quarter on the evening of the 14th. It will turn warmer in westerly regions by the 14th and during the 15th to 18th, the warm wave will grow in extent and degree, causing storms of rain and snow in its regular advance esstward. Much sur. face thawing, especially southward, is probable during this period, but as the area of rain works eastward its western flanks will turn to snow and the inevit. able cold wave will wind up the distur. vances of the period and bring freezing weather generally lasting until the re. actionary changes on and touching the 21st and 23d. About these dates it will grow warmer and more storms of rain and snow will appear, the crisis of the disturbances being reached about ile time of the full moon on the 21st. Loo for the cold wave to bring up the re: promptly and severely, remembering that the “rear” in the far westerly paris is always iwo to four days before even the front of the storm movements have fairly reached the more easterly and southerly extremes of our continent. It will be frosty and cool generally for sev a SC 7 The last storm period of the month begins about the 26th, and ends about the 30th. Daring its existency the reg ular changes in temperature, barometric pressure, wind currents and all phenc- mena belonging to a regular storm period, will show themselves, in regular progressive order. January is apt to end fair and frosty, “The Valley Ohlef ” The first issue of the new paper pub. lished at Mill Hall, Pa., The Valley Chief ison our table. It is an eight page, monthly publication with D. Scott Currin as editor and publisher. The publication is in fact a continua- tion of the Sugar valley Journal, for- merly issued at Loganton, which point did not furnish the patronage necessary to support it. Mill Hall has developed into quite a thriving little business centre. New industries are springing up and with the new OC. R. I. of Pa., to that point more can be expected.
