A Big Flock of BIackbirds

If the weather-wise old inhab-
itants of this part of the coun-
try are to be believed, the COM
ing winter will be a hard one.
Last night about Z o'clock, the
people of Hinsdale were aston
ished to see an immense black
cloud approaching from the
north, while the wind was di-
rectly in the south. AS the
cloud reached the village it was
discovered that it was compos-
ed of countless thousands of
blackbirds flying so close to-
gether that it was almost inn
possible to see the sky above
them as they passed over the
village. The duration of flight
was fully fifteen minutes, and
the width of the flock was APP
parently about half n mile. In
length it must have been al
least three or four miles.-Chi.
