recalled that in years gone by, at this
time of the year, immence focks of
wild pigeons dsrkeDed the skies in
their migratory flight. Fewer and
thinner the focks had grown until
they had disappeared altogether from
this region. The Oldest nan in the
group spoke of a day in 1848 when
a flock passed over this section, the
like of which had not been seer be-
fore or since, So great in extent was
the flock that in no direction could
it's limits be seen, and thus darkening
the sky it was two hours and a half
in passing over Oil City. The same
gentleman spoke of the scenes to be
witnessed in the nesting forests in
Kentueky-hOw the natives would
come in for miles 10 all directions
aud kill the young squads by the
barrel. Nobody could answer the
question as to whether any such iocks
now exist anywhere in the United
