Pigeons. [Passenger]

Published in the Illinois Daily Journal, Springfield, Illinois on Friday, February 24, 1854

A pigeon roost, ten miles long by five broad, in Franklin county, Indiana, it is said, is now swarming with pigeons. The roar of their wings on arriving and departing from the roost is tremendous, and the flocks during the flight darken the heavens. The ground is covered to the depth of several inches with manure. Thousands are killed casually from breaking limbs of trees, and hundreds of hogs live upon them.
