the forenoon, Silas Kellogg, Of North

he was at work near the pilman, when, it
is supposed, be fell against it, as he was
subject to vertigo. He was struck above
and back of the temple, the key entering
the brain. He was found in an uncon-
scious state, in which he remained for
thirty hours and died.

There have been good many pigeons in
this vicinity for some time; few shot and
few netted. They have roasted in vast
quantities in Bloomfield, but were so an
nOyed by pot hunters, who went into the
rooSt and shot them at night, that they
were driven out. Some took to the hem
locks in Morgan and Trumbull. Here
again, men in violation of the law, fired
on them while roosting. We understand
that the names of some have been OBJ
tanned, and they will probably be prosecu-
ted, as they ought to be. A few mornings
since, when it was foggy, the pigeons left
the roost, in Bloomfield, and becoming be-
wildered, few into Colebrook, and then
settled down covering the fields, houses and
trees, in countless thousands. 1t should
be understood by all that the law prohib-
its any one from shooting or killing pigeons
in their nesting places or rOosts.
