[ 4 Renlockjr Ci ow-r«« s j A MILLION OR SO OF CRCWsI orrespondeijt of the phjcijjnati ,t^Otil.nerdial tello, tlie luliu,vjug ourious t?tory about an iaitnenje crowroosc near Lexington, Kenliirkv .* “One of the most remarkable in Kentucky is the crow-roost 7 miles from Lexington, 0 n Die Danville pike. I lie roost is so old dial the mind of the oldest inhabitant of the blue gras’s re -rion' runneth not to the contrary.*— .Vlany years ago the roosD was nearer Lexington, but as the trees 'were cut aWay (he crows moved southward, al ways seeking the next pie?e 0 | timber. At tlie present there are no very large lorests in the Country near the eitv and many pieces of timber have been called into requisition to lodge their, black highnesses. “liondreds sleep in the open Mtehis ior want of a limb, and thtu v.ranute over a desirable bed in thptop ofa tree is something fearful. Bv the amount ol cawing aud jawing done every eve ning, we should think the question of reconstructing the roost, or moving if altogether, was under discussion. Whether. the ernu’a will m.. ,• — | .Cii ancient ropsi is a matLc «f aomet doubt, but judging by the fact that hniureds, and, if not to §ay havfe iflready giy-eu aip the trees, and roost on the ground, vve incline to the opinion that when there arif no more trees all will content themselves with a bed on mother earth/ A gentleman who lives, near the roost, aqtl who has •a locust grove in front of his house, was surprised one evening to see it black with crows. For a time alt went on well, but the roost became popular, and every evening there was a wrangle to see who would get it. “As the desirable place, would hold only a few hundreds, and there were some thousands who nightly applied ior lodging, the noise and confusion became intolerable. Sometimes in the middle of tire night an overloaded limb would break, and then a battle would ensue, lasting Hot unfrequently until daylight. Fired out with the. din that banished the idea of sleep, one night the old fellow and his 9011 sallied out with shot guns and slew some hundred or more of their annoying visitors. So next morning the crows Were all gone, and returned no more to the grove. ‘‘The other evening- vve drove out to the roost, and witnessed a sight we shall not soon forget, ft was 4 o’clock when we arrived on the ground, and already tile crows had began to arrive. At sun down they were coming from all directions, and long lines continued entering the woods from every quarter until dark. Bach flock had a liler or leader, who flew over the tree-tops un til he found his roost, when the bead ed the column lighted, the rest circling around andhfodnd Winding themselves about their chief. Only a few crows would light on the same tree where the iioss lighted, from which fact we judge he is a sort of aristocratic personage who does not associate with the com mon herd, and that the persons who slept on his tree were his royal family and crows high with authority in the dock. “The crows did not seem afraid df us, and were evidently used to human visitors. We drove up quite close to trees bending beneath their weight, but these birds, usually so shy, did not mind us much until any companion im itated the explosion of a gun, when a scene that beggars description followed Instantly cries rose from all parts of the wood, and thousands of crows flew into the air, circling round and round us, cawing vociferously. At times the noise was so great, although sitting side by side in the buggy, that we had ,o speak loud so as to be heard by each other. Having raised a great distress with our black friends, we drove away, but fo r miles we saw flocks in the air still coming to roost. The rustle of their wings as they were flying was one of the most peculiar sounds ive over heard. A large drove passing silently over our heads, we paused to listen at them, and could liken the noise to nothing but the flutter of a million fans, or the rumpling of vast pieces of silk. ‘‘When the firing continues for any tifoe they will fly into the open fields and there sleep until daylight. As soon as the day begins to break, they guit their roost and go, no one knows wheie. It has been estimated a crow will fly a hundred miles for Fa is breakfast, and return after supper, and we have not the least doubt that many of the crows who sleep in Kentucky are citizens of Ohio and Illinois. We judge that one million crows sleep at the Church Roost, and about the last of March they will leave us and scatter themselves over the northern states, returning again next fall to spend the winter with us.- A gcnltennn who bus closely observed them for imnv tears, ( says that tfrey deer"r.sp in nr miters, and that they are siowiv passing a*vaV, and in time, like the poor Indian, wd! become a defunct race on this conti nent.

Our good old Siate i9 still warm at lipr cx tremitie. North Georgia thrives, in spite of diflteuliie?, and South Georgia still pulsates wall liie. Our broad wheat fields give promise of bread entmg to tho hungry, our clover and gGGes are good Samaritans, and very soon' the rich fields of corn will be pointing us with their myriad tassels to the Giver .* 4*. - but little, though dii that score, deaf Baiubridge, we could joke you some what il it was nut cruel. We know, Bainbridge, that you have nestled yourself in a sufinv land on the banks rif a beautiful slfham" Already, for yoii,Spring is coming, Ihe buds are bursting and the birds are sing ing/4We know all about your balmy air and t llwtrich carpeting of flowers on which your sons artd daughters trend. Nor do we envy you these delights of your tempered clime. They are your elements of prosperity, and we expect ere long to hear that the advantages which Bainbridge posSrS have made her the central city of'Southern Georgia- But Cartersville will not be a laggard in the race. She built one hundred houses last yearand projects still more, tier rich lands spread out from her •very doors, and they are cultivated by thrifty, euergt tic plauiers. Her streets teem with file, and von see “busy'! written in every man’s railroad irait. — Haven’t you observed how the whis. tie of the engine makes a fur ther, faster/' if you have not, yo» will lor Bainbrige will soon catch the tune of the ••Railroad Quickstep.’’ But, Bainbridge, we miss the Jear Ethsop. The places which kuew Cuf fee and Sambo.so well hero once, now know him no more. The melody of the corn song and the-music ofthe hug est! no longer tremble on the air or echo from the hills. The merry jig to the thru in of the well banjo no longer interests tiie sable crowd.. Hang up life fiddle anide bow, Lay down de shovel arid de hoe, Dar’s no place hcreTor poo* old Nod?— lie’s rone by de way ob de Bureau, Africa’s deluded children are vanishing like the children ol the mist, White people are tilling'their places, and the unfortunate negroes who yet linger on the find it hard to be employed. Coiue Hainbridge, to see us in the summer. We would like to exchange civilities when we cannot have mutual commerce. Come breathe our air* drink our water, eat our apples, Come in the harvest time, and see our improv ed sgnculti’ral machinery sweep over the great fields of waving grain. Come we will send you home in the f ill load ed with the stair of life, invigorated in body aud mind, and full of faith that none ot the present oppressions can de_ stroy ottr mother State. Wishing health, happiness, and prosperity', We are affectionately your'sister CABTERSVILLE. An Excuse for £*.eoKisa, —In the reign of James the I, of tobacco-hating notoriety, the boys of a school acquired the habit of smoking, and indufg. o it night and day, using the most ingen ious expedients to conceal the vice from their masters, till one luckless evening when the imps were all huddled to gether round the fire of their dormitory involving each other in vapors of their own creating, lo ! in burst the master arid stood in awful dignity before them. “[low now,” qunththe dominie to the first lad ; “how dare you to be smoking tobacco ?” “Sir.” said the boy ,“I am subject to headaches, and a pipe takes off the pain,” “And von ? and you ? and you ?” in quired the pedagogue, questioning every boy in his turn. One had a “raging tooth (** smother cholic ; the third a cough—in short, they all had something. “Now, sirrah,” bellowed the doctor to the last hoy, “what disorder do you smoke for ?” Alas’ all the excuses were exhausted hurt the interrogated urchin, putting down his pipe after a farew'ell whiff and looking up in his master’s face, said in a whining, hypocritical tone: “Air, / smoke fw rornr /” NO. -.17. j «.>jxir.i TANARUS.:; mi. --This old eolor : « ip, i*otf t e - I'-eu*!}. visaiuii..~AJL• tsu. vvbevu she w*i t‘f giiefft of a M,i.

The poor clerk’s eyes popped lire almost, as he looked at the young lady in utier lor he was no: aware of the fact that a song by that name had been written. ‘Why what did you say, Miss !’ ‘Kiss Me !’said she. ♦I can’t do it; I never kissed a young lady in my life,’ said the clerk.

One evening, at a party, Peter from imbibing to free ly of various mixtures, began dancing around with a waiter containing some ice and cakes, and soon became uproa rious. Observing his conduct, the .Ma jor publicly reprimanded him, and at once dismissed him from the post of. ► waiter for the t railing *and appointed another servant in his place. This last stroke was too much for old Peter, and ;lie retired to his bed-room in dispair. That night Captain K., a joily young officer in the room adjoining Peter’s, liearin'g sohs and groans in the next I room, rose lo enquire w hat was the matter, He opened the door of Pe ter’s room and re.couuoitered.
