Newly Invented Spring for

The subscriber has obtained patent
Tor new Spring for Saddles, which is
pronounced the neatest and best con
structed that has ever been made. The
advantage which this spring has over
every other in use, is great strength and
permaneDcy combined with elasticity.
while at the same time it occupies little
space. The least motion produced by
pressure on the saddle sets.tbe spring in
action, or in other words. any pressure
on any part Of the machine, puts the
whole in mofon. There have been
three saddles uade on this plan, and all
prove good. Those who wish to ,rv

PIGEONS

VALLEY OF THE MAUMEE. June 9Th, 1887
Pigeons are extremely numerous. The
forests are thronged with them. They
may be seen flying one flock strung after
another, from he first wake Of dawn until
the darkness of evening obscures hem, and
for aught known to the contrary, they fly
during the whole night.
Pigeons. soma seasons, do great mischief
TO the corn and wheat. The voracrty of
such vast mul,itndes sometimes exceeds
any moderate computation. When the
young corn is striking mp from the ground.
they will destroy whole field of from
forty TO fifty acres in very few davs.--
When they have pitched upon field /;
Their femeri'y in maintaining their ground
is scarcely exceeded bv the description of
Iocusfs IN Africa. At these times they
settle around upon the timber so as to
break down the largcs, trees. They are
as tame rs dawes N the streets Of cities.
They may be killed with whips. If a
gun is discharged upon them, those near
will rise up to alight in another place,
and others will press forward to fill the
space those vacated. To attempt to
catch them in nets seems impotent folly.
The destruction Of thousands does not
appear TO thin them off. They would
not be missed. Millions remain in spite
OF every effort to destroy them. But Of
. sudden. from change of wind, a gen
tie breeze. or other unknown cause, they
scatter of, and almost wholly disappear
in single day. leaving their eggs and
young to be destroyed by insects or ami.
mails Of prey.
Where those myriads of fowls came
from. or where they go. is as uncertain
as The resting place of the wind
When they approach. they came like
. cloud. in such vast numbers, so dense, so
extensive, that the shadow Of a flock is
like the retnrn of white feecy clouds
after a storm. The sun il, at intervals,
completely shut out until the masses,
always flying with the wind. have passed
over. Al such times, they devour no,
only corn, but whole fields of wheat.
and forests of acorns, beach nuts, black
berries, and all sorts of plums and fruit,
eveDpoiaioes if found.
This season. they have yet done very lit
tie damage. 1t is fine sport to clpp off
their heads with rife and there are va.
rious ways of taking them. One is to
prepare the bed with a net, and near it
have an abnis huf. Hsving previously Ia,
ken two pigeons for "decoys'' tie one of
them with thread. any convenient length
from fifty TO hundred yards and the other
must be tied on fitting stick, which may
