The great crow conventions are now being held in the forests, and a visitor to these localities would think bedlam WIS let loose. The immediate caws of these noisy gatherings is to decide routes of travel for the fall migration, locations which the different families will preempt in the south (and this latter is I bone of tierce contention without meat, causing much disf.utation and many blacii looks), also how large a cjlony can proceed to certain particularly favored localities. Wo understand that the bills introduced into the crow parliament have been unusually numerous this fail The migration nueslion has been practically settled for this district, although a few minor details may occupy another 'two weeks of crowking. Some of the favored onts have been allocated to the :>iigara river district for winter, others to New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, while a few penalized thieves and rascals of various degree.^ of heiuousness have been sentenced to stay at homo, exist in the swamps and await the dead horses of February. These are consoling them, selves viith ihe thought that after Oct 20 there will be a lot of political carcases to pick. )iiv of the crows go further south than Ohio, bi cause there they come in contact with their big cousin, the turkey buzzard â€" and the two houses do not dwell in andty. The musical scale used at these conventions is known as the crowmatic scale.
