DELAwAas, (Ohio) Nov 30.
PigeenG--lnoumerabi quantities OF pigS
cons have been collecting IN this and The ad-
joining county Of Franklin for few days past.
In the eighborhood Of Wo'thIugion, 10
particular, in the fore part OF last week they
wero much more numerous than ever b@ioio
known IN this part Of the eounuy. Any de-
scrip,ian OF which we are capable would 30
Inadequate TO convey an idea Of theE num.,
5ers. For nearly an hour on tuesday even,
ing last the horizon vas darkened with tbetn
as fs, as the eye could extend, in every diree-,
ton, and immense numbors had Preceded,
ttis main body. In their flight, end whca
collected at their roost, (which 10 from Two
TO three miles southeast from orihiogton)
they make noise rcse n,bliDg q disisnt wa,
terfall, and which may be distinctly, hessd,
moro ,hso 3 miles. The most essdulous
will scarcely believe, without seivslly seeing,3
wha, havoc is made emong the trees oo he
ground hey have chosen Tor . roost. We
had the curiosity 10 visit this gfoubd, and
actually saw Uees, (eim a0d oak, from l0'
isehes 10 Two feet IN diameter, which were
broken down and tdfned out at the roots ~
them.
Many OF the citizens in the heighborbood
ofthn ground smose themselves BY shooting
them st night, and 80 many IS from 500 70
900 have been brougat in Of morning--as
many ss 30 have been brought down a, ono
shot. The ground oeeupied IS roos, !, an
obIong Of shout 3 ! . miles in length, BY 2
miles 10 width, and every twig within thsso
bounds 10 loaded with them each night.
They will probably continue unit they de-
sroy . great portion Of he bach and oak
mast, which Is ve'y plenty thi, season.
