NorwITHsTANDING the unfavorabIe
weather the day before Christmas, many OF
our merchants assure us that their sales far
exceeded those of last year, ami to take their
holiday business as an entirety it has proved
very satisfactory. This was especially the
case at the Old-established jewely store OF
Mr.. John T.. PIigg, No. 4JT Pennsylvania
avenue, who had made more than his usual
preparations for business this season. His
inviting goods crowded his store from early
morning until midnight with those in quest
OF the latest and most desirable novelties in
jewelIy. silver ware, fancy goods, &c. So
great was tine demand for goods at this pOpu-
lar establishment that he and his assistants
were obliged. in order 10 serve their custom
eTS. TO be in attendance fully eighteen bODrs
last week up TO Friday night, or rather
Christmas morning, by which time the show
cases, drawers. and shelves OF his store were
almost entirely cleaned OF goods. Mr.. Prigg,
however, has made complete arrangements
TO replenish his stock and by to morrow
morning his customers win be enabled TO get
almost any article required in his line aud by
Wednesday next he viii have as large and
varied an assortment as ever before; and a.
there will be many brilliant receptions
during the present week, and the New Year
VIII be ushered in by the usual social fes-
ttvities and customary Inequalities, for
which the National Capital is so celebrated,
IL may be well for those taking part in the
festivities of the week TO call early at Mr..
Prigg's and complete their outfit for full
d,ess by making selections OF jewelry aud
articles OF adornment from among his as
sOrtment Of Lake George diamonds set in
gold, in jet and gold, in solitaire rings, in
studs and earrings, which are so brilliant
citizens, as are also his gold front and cnain
bracelets, opera chains, cable chains, with
crosses and lockets, French gilt sets, and
hundreds Of other desirable novelties in
Jewelry. Mr. Prigg will also have an ample
supply Of holiday goods for the New Year,
such as portemonnai5 s, eyeglasses, plated
brackets, velvet frames, and many other
useful and ornamental articles. We are
glad TO hear that our citizens have so sub
stautlally appreciated the efforts put forth
" N ma no re hi,
p|trons lduring the holiday season, as we
know of no one more deserving OF their
patronage.-ISsldGy Chronicle, 2sth.
