4 Roost Many Miles In Length-A TOrch-
hght -hooting IA pediII0n.

Moscow, Pa, April II. - A wilderness
known as the Beech Woods covers large por-
ton OF western Pike county and northwestern
Monroe county, this State. Ike Bennett and
Clint Waters, bark peddlers, were in the depths
Of tho woods on Friday last, when they were
startled 10y a sudden dark ming Of the sky and n
noise like a heavy gale Of wind. At the Same
time the trees about them began to MI with wild
pigeons. They came from the northward, and
as far as the men could soe in that direction the
air was black with the birds. They settled down
In the trees as thick as bees, and in an incredI-
bly, short space OF time the woods seemed to be
a living mass Of pigeons They lighted In the
broken by their weight They seemed to take
no heed OF the men, and crowded the trees un-
der which they stood, occupying branches
almost within reach OF them: Nearly half an
hour elapsed before they all found resting
places IN the woods The bark peddlers killed
hundreds OF them with clubs, ana walked nvo
miles through the woods without reaching the
end Of the roost. The men say that with one
swOOp of long club they could knock dozens
to the ground, creating only "A temporary panic
among the pigeons aud that only among those
directly attachcd.
The lumbermen and Others when told by Ben
nett and Waters of the wonderful sight they had
seen organized night hunt. Dozens of men
armed with poles and guns started for the woods,
and reached there after dark They carried
torches of pine knots. The pigeons, alarmed by
tho noise of the guns and the glaring Of the
torches, rose from their perches and flew blindly
about. For two hours the poles and guns made
sad havoc among tne rOOSllnR DlIus. Inc roar
OF thousands of wings, the cracking Of branches,
flashing torches, swashing poles, and reports of
guns formed scene wild and terrible. Thou
sands of pigeons were slaughtered before the law
less and ruthless destroy ers were gutted. Each
one brought away AS many m he could carry,
which was a small portion compared with the
number left on the ground to feed the foxes and
wolves
On saturday morning another expedition start
ed out for further slaughter OF the pigeons. The
birds had evidently sought the rOOst for the pur-
pose Of nesting. The woods swarmed with
rose EN- masse ana In short time every bird had
disappeared. The direction of the Hight was
westward toward the Susquohanna. IL II esti-
mated that the iiooh was fully twelve miles long
and four or five In width.
About four weoks ago an enormous hock OF
wild pigeons passed over Sullivan county, N. Y.
aud settled In the wilderness In the northern
part OF that county near the head waters OF the
Beayerkill. IL Is believed that this was the same
ilOck mentioned above. IL extended from Gill
mans, Sullivan county, to a point thirteen miles
| TO the eastward. and was several minutes IL
passing over, dying very high.
