I ruv thar bout two hours by thesun, and frum that blessed hour till chockdark the heavens was dark with um comininter the roost. It is unconceivable to tellthe number on um, which it were so great.Bein a man that has a character fur truth, Iwont say how many there was. Thar wasa mighty heap uv saplins fur um to roostin, which they would allers light on the big-gest trees fust, then pitch down on the littleuns ter roost. Now jist at dark I thort Id commencesmashin um; so I hitched old Nip to thelimb uv a tree with a monstrous strong bri-dle—a good hitchin j)lace, I thort. I com-menced blazin away at the pigeons like thun-der and lightnin; which theyd light on bigtrees thick as bees, bend the trees to the yethlike theyd been lead.

I looked a considable spell nextto the yeth, but, bless you, honey! I moutas well a sarched fur a needle in a haystack.At last I looked up inter a tree bout fortyfoot high, and thar he were swingin to alimb, danglin bout tween the heavens andthe yeth like a rabbit on a snare-pole. Icould hardly keep from burstin open laugh-in at the odd fix the old critter were in.The way he whickered were a fact, when Ispoke to him—wusser nur ef Id a had astack
