national convention ut Keene valley in the Adirondacks. The place chosen was well adapted for such purpose. The whole east side of the valley that year was covered with a splendid growth of forest trees, principally elms and maple, from which the lower limbs had been removed, leaving the ground open beneath, with heavy tuft of branches at the top. The leaves had not yet fallen, but were rich in autumn coloring. One afternoon some one noticed lot of crows flying restlessly about. The next day they poured into the valley from all direc- tions and it was found that they were assembling in the woods, first by hun- dreds, then by thousands. In short time the country was over run with them. An eyewitness of this strange sight said: II never happened to catch them in the morning, for they were off too early in search of food, but in the afternoon it was fun to watch their return. Some few would hang around all day, probably tho committee men, or the lobbyists or those anxious for front seat. About four o'clock they began to assemble. In an hours time the trees would be swaying beneath ther united Weight. Occasionally a limb would break causing some dis

HONOR TO THE DEAD.
Birmingham Bar Association Pays a Tribute to the Lamented Judge
 William McLinn Brooks.

The Birmingham Bar association met iu the city court room yesterday morning to take suitable action in memory of the late Judge William McLinn Brooks, who died at his home in this city last Friday even- ing.
 A large number of the lawyers of the city attended the meeting, and feeling talks were made by several members.
 Capt. John F. White was called to the chair, and MT. Charles G. Brown acted as secretary.
 Capt. w. 0. Ward read set of resolu- tions setting out the life and character of the dead barrister and rendering the sym patby of the association to the family of the deceased.
 sneThe chair was instructed to appoint a of five, whose duty it would be to have the resolutions published in the Birmingham AGE HERALD and the News, and to see to having them spread on the records of the various state and federal courts, and also to furnish the family of the deceased with copy.
 Remarks on the life of the late Judge Brooks were made by Capt. w. c. Ward, Judge A. A. Coleman, Capt. John M. Mar tin, Col. J.iW. Bush, Capt. James D. Webb, aud<Messrs. Graves Embry, G. R. Harsh, Von L. Thompson and John F. Gillespie.

turbance. But the rest on the next branch would good-naturedly crowd up and make room.
 ''The proceedings were opened by venerable old scapegrace, who, mount ed upon high branch in sight of all, began an oration. For a time there would be comparative silence. Then somebody would disapprove of hisre- marks or would ask a question. Others objected to the interruption and for little while there would be row. But peace would follow and the elderly speaker continue his h1rangue In a few minutes more half hundred would rise to reply. In their eager ness they would lose their places and wheel above the presiding officer until beaten down into subjection and silence by others, presumably police men. Finally some prominent bird would be called upon to make the an- swer. and for awhile all would listen. Then there would be a wild break again, continuing until darkness hushed the 'cawing,' and each black head was hidden behind the wing. This grand meeting lasted for week or more. When the business that had brought them here was settled they adjourned. The day after, not crow could be seen in the valley, These proceedings were quite as orderly and seriously business-like as those in the house of representatives at Washing ton, while, it Is probable, the crows &C., complished more than the house dele- gates would in a longer period"

It is a familiar and daily sight to the inhab- itants of the capital, during the winter months, to see them passing overhead in the early morning going east to their feeding grounds which are usually the shores of Chesapeake bay, though they glean the marshes and branches of the Potomac river aswell.
