The Sons of Erin are taking the town today. St. Patrick's Day is beng celebrated in its usual manner. A great many of the more patriotic descendants from Old Ireland are taking a holiday and also taking the town. The good feeling existing toward the Irish is shown by the universal predominance of the green being worn by other people and pol iticians.
 The green and the orange are not mixing little bit today, though the red and green seem to be mixing good naturedly. No boisterousness has been occasioned by the mixing and the day has been very quiet one
