Brilliancy of Stars.

The heavens at this season of the
year present a most beautiful specta-
Gle. The frequent winds drive the
mists away and make the skies
brighter and clearer. The stars
twinkle with more sparkling light,

steadily. Above the glamour of the
sunset skies, Venus shines in all her
beauty, and catches the eye of even
the most careless CLEANER of the skies.

L Jay, tne oakland correspond
ent OF the Cumberland Ne1c$, writing
under date of Tuesday to his paper,
says Of the proposed change Of sched-
ule on the Baltimore and Ohio:
The new schedule which goes into
effect on the B. & O. on Sunday next
will make several changes which will
prove important to the people of
Oakland. Passenger train No. IA,
which leaves Oakland at ten a. IN. for
Cumberland, and No. IS, which leaves
Oakland for Grafton at five p. m.
will be discontinued Trains forty
six and fortyseven will not carry
passengers. The only local passenger
trains our people will have ywill be
the Cumberland and Wheeling ac-
commodation which 'goes east at five
thirty p. IN. and west at nine thirty
six a. III. Under the new arrange
ment one cannot go from Oakland to
Deer Park, Altamont or Swanton and
return in the same day. The accom-
modatiQn, which goes east in the
morning accommodates very few
people because the business of nearly
all our people is east instead of west.
| have not heard great deal of COM
plaint about the matter up to this
! time.
The fact is railroad matters have
| improved so much with us since the
b. & O. went into the hands of re-
ceivers that the people of this section
are much more willing to accept
gracefully some little Inconvenience
which seem to be necessary to the
management.
l have learned that officials of the
company holding subordinate posi-
tions are much more contented with
their lot than under the old regime.
One of these gentlemen from a dis
tant city said to me a few days age
when talking upon this subject
Things are not like they used to be
Officers like myself get credit fo1
what they do. This encourages us
and the company gets better service
Under the old management nobody
got any credit for anything except the
heads of the departments. 1t is diff
ferent now and am glad of it." II

Group is terror to young mothers

of Group is common cold. Children
who are subject to it take cold very
easily and Group is.almost sure to fol

this is soon followed by a peculiar
rough cough, which is easily recog.
nized and will never be forgotten by

it will prevent the attack. There is

Short Chestnut Crop.

The chestnut season, which is now
about over, has been very dull, the
yield this year being about half the
usual crop. The shortness of the crop
is attributed by some to the violent
storms which occurred just before the
chestnuts We're ripe, the nuts being
beaten from the trees and decayed
before ripening. Others say the dry
weather had more to do with the
shortnesS of the crop.

l41415 bales more ,haa in 1893
The average perez ntags Of the total

aad if the 4 1881, $40 bales that has
come into sight to January Isl should
prove to be II - per cent of this crop,
the actual total crop for 1895 So would
be 6.S10, ,0o3 bales.
Our advices from all the Southern
States contlrue to report rapid shipment
of cotton to market. aud that the
amount remaining in the bands of
planters, is lees than for many years at
like date,
Since November 50th. the date
of cur last circular letter, the price of
cotton has declined about 60 points,
nearly half of which has been recov,
cred.
In face of the apprehension Of war
with England, which caused panic
and heavy depreciation in securities OF
all kinds, and other adverse influences,
we think the price Of cotton held up re-
markably we'll.
Nothing but widespread opinion
that cotton was cheap at current prices
aud the inhereut strength Of its statlstl'
cal position could have supported it
against the violent disturbances in the
monetary world.
Holiday receipts we're unexpectedly
large and that alone might have induced
more than half Of the decline that oc'
cured.
The holders # cotton have cause to
congratulate themselves on the way 1t
has stood the storm, and now that
Americans far and wide have voiced
their endorsement cs the Presidents
patriotic and digni6ed message, and
tie recent scare in speculative and fnan'
ciaI circles seems to have been without
any adequate cause, the indications are
that prices for cotton snd business ge7.
orally will improve materially with the
new year.
