An Item for Ornithoiogists.-A short time ago, (says the Philadelphia Chronicle of May 2Oth) it was observed that large number of those birds, commonly called chimney swallows, were beginning to convene on farm, near Painsvile, Ohio. They formed themselves into regular lines, took circui- tous flight round large sycamore, and entered it's trunk by the hole at the top several persons resolv ed to ascertain the number of swallows thus con- cealed and for that purpose closed mp their place of entrance, and cut an opening at the bottom of the tree. On viewing the cavity inside, it was found six or seven deep, packed regularly on each other round the whole extent of the hollow. Marshas were appointed to take the of this feathered community, who counted to the amount of 3,60O, when, owing to the interference of some volunteer assistants, an ieguary in counting rock place, and the remainder of the swallows which was supposed

 to have been more than equal in number to those talk en down, was suffered to escape without ennumera- ton.
