BLACK VULTURE.

Abbot informs me, that the can'ion crow builds its 
"cst in the large trees of the low wet swamps, to which 
places they retire every evening to roost, “ They 
‘■equent,” says he, “ that part of the town of Savannah, 
"diei-e the hog-hutchers reside, and waUc about the 
™'eets, in great numbers, like domestic fowls. It is 
I *i^®rting to see, when the entrails and ott'als ot the 
are thrown to them, with what gi-eediuess they 
^Wamble for the food, seizing upon it, and ]>ulling one 
I giiiust another until the strongest prevails. The turkey 
’Ii^ziu-d is accused of killing young lambs and pigs, by 
picking out their eyes ; but I believe that the carrion 
’'■C'v is goiity of the like practices. The two 
Pccies do not associate.”
