PASSENGER PIGEON. 
At the breeding season the overwhelm- 
ing multitudes of Pigeons that settle on 
one spot are almost incredible. Wilson, 
A^dlo was present at one of these breeding 
places says. Kot far from Shelbyville, in 
the state of Kenteiky, about five years ago, 
there was one of these breeding places, 
Avhich stretched through the woods in 
nearly a north and south direction, was 
several miles in breadth, and was said to 
be upwards of forty miles in extent ! In 
this tract almost every tree was furnished 
with nests, wherever the branches could 
accommodate them. The pigeons made 
their first appearance about the 10th of 
April and left it altogether, with their 
young, before the 25th of May.
