A ssrent Plgeon.ROOst.
TFrom the Southland (AIo.) Rustic.

From the Southland tMo.) Rnstlc.I
Pigeons have come into this part OF the
country by millions. OF evenings the sky
is darkened with them in the neighborhood
of DR.. Dodson's, on the Auglaize. They
have made Dodson's farm their headquar-
ters, and at night the trees and underhrush
are loaded down with multitudes. AS this
roost is but short distance from our house,
we have had ample opportunity to watch
their maneuyres and to hear the incessant
noise they make. A little before sum
down large armies Of pigeons are
seen coming from different points OF
the compass, but each army passes onward
as if they intended TO change their roost-
settle on the trees around the roost, not
many OF them nearer than mile OF the
place. They make sudden flights from
these trees, and the sound of their wings is
like that of 4 great storm. There is q con-
slant roaring in the air as myrlads OF the
birds fly to and fro. About dark they fly
toward the roost, and for long time they
fiy round and round, and have the appear
ance OF bees swarming, although the vast
number and tornado-lke roaring they make
surpasses anything in the power OF man to
describe. After awhile they alight on the
downward, often are broken OIL.
The pigeons keep up constant chatter
ing, which can be heard for miles away.
They are never still during the night. so
far as sleep is concerned, such thing Is out
OF the question with pigeon. They are
disturbed by themselves, such thongs as
sembling in spot that none can be still 1oI
moment; and the incessant discharge OF
firearms among them causes them to change
their location almost constantly. This roost
is visited every night by crowds OF men,
some with guns and others with poles,
which they use in threshing down the
pigeons that happen to be at the point
struck.
Hundreds are killed every night; but
when light appears the vast armies again
60 forth with apparently rs much Vigor as
ever. Pigeons have been killed IN New
York with undigested rice in their crops,
which they had evidently gathered IN the
rice-felds in the Carolinas. From these
and other circumstances it has been estl-
mated that a pigeon flies at the rate OF
mile q minute.
Imagine, then, millions upon millions OF
these birds, all on the wing at the same
time, over scope OF country not more than
two miles square, and faint idea OF the
noise they make may be obtained. But no
one can ever fully imagine what pigeon
roost is, or how much noise they make, un-
til one is seen and heard.
There is an abundance of mast here now,
and we suppose the pigeons will remain
here until it is all gone. One curious cir.
cumstance is that in the neighborhood oil
this pigeon-roost we never see pigeon from
the time they leave Of mornings until they
return OF evenings. They are not eating
the mast here at all, but somewhere they are
all feasting luxuriantly, for they are all fat.

Sir Henry Thompson, the eminent ply
sician, in q letter published in the London
Times, says that hospital and private prac-
tice OF more than twenty years has con.
yinced him that even the moderate use OF
fermented beverages din,inishes the mental
power to an extent few people are aware Of.
A Boston woman had prepared to elopesl
but when her husband, hearing Of her in
tention, came forward with his check-book
and offered her money for her expenses,
while his face was illumined with unbound
ed Joy, she reconsidered the matter and
concluded not to go. II took all: the ro-
mance away. d. # y ef

A Setter Goes Fishing, Loses his Mas
ter. and Takes the Train for Home.

| MIR. John D. Johnson, the lawyer, went
down to Murdock lake week ago for the
purpose or enjoying few days in angling
| for black bass. He took with him favorite
setter which lie had raised from pup. The
lake is in Illinois, thirty miles south OF the
citv, and the usual route to it IS over the
| Iron Mountain railroad to Illinois station,
thence by row-boat across the river, ana
thence by wagon to the clubhouse, dis
tance of three miles. Arriving at the lake,
Mr.. johnson went out in boat to flsh
at : O'Clock in the morning, taking MS
setter along for company. The dog
proved troublesome in the boat, and was
put ashore, and nothing more thought about
him. When Mr.. johnson returned TO the
clubhouse, late in the afternoon, he could
not find his dog, although he searched 1or
him along the lake-shore and made diligent
INQUIRY OF everybody he met. On his way
home. two days afterward, MIR. Johnson
learned at Illinois station that his dog was
at Peyely, five miles below, and sent man
after him, who brought him back. 1t seems
that the dog after being put ashore Oh the
west side Of the lake had Joined party OF
fishermen, and remained with them 1or
short time, and then returned to the place
where he had left his master. Not tndlng
him there nor at the house, he concluded
that the boss had gone home. He made
bee-line for the river, and, swimming
across, took his position at the railroad sta
ton to wait for train. Several trains pass
ed, but he did not like their looks, and
made no attempt to board either OF them.
At length the train that had brought him
and his master from the city came along,
going southwark, and the dog ioyfully
Jumped aboard. He was recognized by the
conductor, who put him OFT ut Peveley,
with directions to the agent to ship him to
st. Louis.
These facts are given as remarkable in
stance Of canine sagacity. The only mis-
take the dog made was in starting in the
wrong direction, but be probably reasoned
that the train would eventually take him TO
the city, although in roundabout way
