PERsosA1.-Our town yesterday was
honored by a visi. from the redoub!able
TANaEL M'CRAKEN, Of Milwaukee. II is
rather mixed whether TAKGEL's COLI upon
US can be called complimentary OF agreea-
ble- seeing he comes for "GREENs to
trim the Fair Building with. However

of Wisconsin don't believe be lies, and are
bound to make the Fair success, which

in times to come-,when the rebellion
shall be talked of as is now the revolution,
our posterity shall not say a. we are
ashamed TO admit now" And they let
the old heroes die in our poor houses. +"
