have gone over the falls, of all which can be
collected into RATS again at Lake Pepin by

ket. The only difference to them is that
they 60 down as logs instead Of sawed lum-
Der, thus entailing very slight loss.
GENERAL Shields of Minnesota is very
proud Of his home, and thisis why-we
quote his own words: II made my pre-
emption, as you all know, on the Faribault
prairie. paid for it with my own warrant
the warrant which received for nv SER
vices in Mexico-the only bounty which
ever received from the Government of the
United States for those services, and I will
venture to say that am the first General
of the United States Army who ever made
his own presumption with his warrant.
New this, l think, is home to be proud of
"a home which hold to be sacred, be-
cause purchased it with my blood"
