A Ffcur AMONG THE BIRps-Those

A FIGHT AMONG THE BIRDs.-Those
of our citizens who were about the pub
lie square on Sunday evening, witnessed
rather an unusual eight, and one which
shows that the bump of combatiyeness
is not exclusively confined to the heads
of the human family, or the brute crea-
tion. A large owl had taken up its posi-
tion on the vape of the court house
steeple, where il sat in complaeent con-
temptation of the works OF man spread
out in panoramic view below him. A
half dozen swallows, whose perch his
owlship had thus summarily invaded
were observed to fly off in different di-
rections, and soon returned with their
numbers largely reinforced How the
half dozen scouts managed to convey
the information to their companions that
there was trouble in the camp 1t Is or
course impossible even to conjecture;
but at al events they came, and at once
commenced battle that was well worth
seeing. The swallows pitched into the
owl, pecked at his eyes, screeched into
his ears, aud soon made it so exceeding
ly uncomfortable that he was forced to
beat an ignoble retreat, closely followed
by the constantly increasing number of
his assailants. He took temporary ref.
uge on one or two other buildings, but
was not allowed to remain, aud the last
seen of him he was sailing as fast as pos
sible in the direction of the woods in
the north west part of the town, followed
by the swallows-DetroH Post.
