When the painters began work on
the exterior of the Odd Fellows hall,
they found a swallows nest under
the root. 1t was necessary to tack a
piece Of tin over the hole, and the
workmen removed the nest. This
seemed to anger the birds, and
since then hundreds Of them meet
At the building and hold indigEa-
ton meetings. Their chattering is
terrible. BY this demonstration
one is led to think that birds have
means Of communicating with each
other, as origionally only one family
was disturbed, while now it appears
that all the swallows in the city
have taken q few days off to abuse
those painters.
