makes a prognostication his friends and

the following grounds:
Fisrt-The husks on the corn ART
much thicker than usual and Of deer
orange tint, instead of light lemon
hue.
Second-The hogs melt runs jag
ged instead of smooth.
Third-rhe goose bone taken from
a May raised fowl shows large and
winter spots than customary, which
resemble the canals of mars.
Fourth-The crop of nuts OF all
kinds is immense, and the squirrels and
chipmunks are laying in prodigiouls
stores early in the season.
Fifth the partridges and woodcock,
are lighting in barns aud out houses
instead Of trees. and ducks are fiying
in L shaped, instead of V. shaped
focks toward the South.
Sixth-The green frogs are chang
ing their skins and are even now seek
ing cool wells as springs for their win
ter quarters.
