He would be glad to hear from anyone who re- members the last flight of the wild pigeons. Mr. Murray says: What became of the wild pigeon? This is a question no person clan solve. It is, supposed that they were completely destroyed by some dread- ful malady. I have heard some say that they may have made a mistake and returned from their rookery to the north and perished. But this is not likely, as nature instructs all migratory birds to go south in the fall and return in the spring, and the pigeon belonged to this class. It was in the year 1871 that the last pigeon was seen as they pro- ceeded northward toward their rookery, wherever that was located. And this is another question no per- son has been able to solve. i.e., their rookery hone. And to be exact as to the date of their flight over' this district, was an Easter Sunday, April 0th, 18 71. As the bulk passed over they were so numerous at times that they darkened the sun, and some of thein were so close to the earth that they could be knocked down with a walking cane. There must have been millions of them, in fact there were more than had been seen in any previous year.
