Nauvoo will see mild winter &C
cording to the good old-fashioned
signs. Men who base weather fore
casts on the turns of nature, cite reas-
ons for saying that the 1867 winter
will not he severe. One is that the
corn husks are thin and good many
ears on the stalks are exposed. It Is
said that when this is the case the
winter will be mild. Another man
says animals that dig holes In the
earth are not digging deep to occupy
during the winter months which is an
old sign. He says that when these ami
mails throw up big heaps of dirt near
their holes that it is known they have
gone deep to escape the extreme cold.

not large, which indicates that the
holes are not deep. We print every
thing that's optimistic.
