The Erie railroad brought to our markets yesterday seven tons of wild pigeons. Since the pigeon season commenced, probably not less than seventy-five tons have found their way to this City, principally from the Counties of Steuben and Alleghany. The country in some places is completely covered with the migrating squadrons.
