A MISTAKE CORRECTED.

Mduors Press & Dakotaian :-Yesterday's
issue Of your paper contained a marriage
notice in which l figured as one of the par
lies. This notice was false, and you were
imposed upon when you published it. AZ
for myself I cared but little for the publica-
ton, but as it implicated a most estimable
young lady, for whom l have the greatest
respect, I am induced to make this public
denial of that which has been announced as
a fact. I can scarcely imagine what motive
the author of this item had to impel him to
promulgate a falsehood, and I trust whoever
he or she may be that hereafter no such mis-.
take may be made by them either thought
lessly, maliciouely or purposely. I have
been informed that the individuals who
originated or fabricated this item acted from
malice; and I have only to say that theil
conduct was mean, contemplate, cowardly
and beneath the dignity of true gentlemen
or ladies. JAS. E. GRIFFIN.

BY UNIVERSAL ACCORD

AYERS ATHART1c PILLS are the best o.
all purgatives for family use. They are
the product OF long, laborious, and sue.
~cessful chemical investigation, and their
extensive use, by Physicians in their prac.
tice, and by all civilized nations, proves
them the best and most effectual purgative
Pill that medical science can devlse.
Being purely vegetable no harm can arise
from their use. In intrinsic value and
curative powers no other Pills can be
compared with them and every person,
knowing their virtues, willemploy them,
when needed. They keep the system in
perfect order, and maintain in healthy
action the whole machinery oflife. Mild,
searching and effectual, they are specially
adapted to the needs.of the digestive ap-
paratus, arrangements of which they
prevent and cure, if timely taken. They
are the best and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened constitutions,
where a mild, but effsctual, cathartlc is
required.

not empty assertions, as thousands Of our coun-

A CORRECTION

BY giving credence to a rumor we were
yesterday led into the commission of an I'M.
fortunate and annoying error in announcing
the marriage of Mr.. James E. Griffin and
Miss Rose Grady. The information came
to us from what we deemed good and relia.
BILE authority, and without for a moment
doubling its truth, we published it as an
item of pleasant and interesting news. But
it turns out that there is no truth in the ru-
NOR, and by giving it publicity we have
been the innocent cause of seriously annoy
ing the parties and their families, who are
among our most estimable citizens. What
motive gave rise to the circulation of the
rumor We are lot advised We can only say
that we were imposed on by giving it I'M
questioned credence, and that We are very
sorry that We were misled by its apparent
authenticity into giving it currency in our
columns.

ARE FAT PEOPLE HEALTHY

Why are fat people always complaining ?
asks some one who entertains the popular
though erroneous notion that health is
synonymous with fat. Fat people complain
because they are deceased. Obesity is an
abnormal condition Of the system, in which
the saccharine and oleaginous elements of
the food are asslmilated to the partial ex.
clusion of the muscle-forming and brain
producing elements. In proof Of this, it is
only necessary to assert the well-known fact
that excessively fat people are never strong,
and seldom distinguished for mental pow
ers or activity. Besides, they are the easy
prey of acute and epidemic diseases, and
they are the frequent victims ofgout, heart
disease, and apoplexy. Allan's Anti.Fat is
the only known remedy for this disease.
1t contains no acid, is absolutely hermless,
and is warranted to remedy the most con.
frmed case of obesity, or corpulency.

Days bill for the modification Of tho OF
emption law has not yet been reported b,
the judiciary committee to which It VA.
referred on its second reading. II viii
probably DO reported tomorrow and . vote
taken on its passage.
The bill to amend the charter of the city
Of Vermillion which passed the council
this morning, reduces the election precincts
from six to one. 1t is claimed that one
polling place will answer the PURPOSE as
we'll % six. and save::conslderable; expense.
Mr.. Langnes3 local option bill being the
special order in the house for eleven o'clock
this forenoon, . large number of ladies and
gentlemen were assembled upon tho floor
and in the gallery of the hou.e by the time
that hour arrived. Ladies were particular
ly numerous, their coming having been ar
ranged yesterday afternoon at the instance
of Mrs. Governor Howard, who takes q
leading interest in all matters pertaining TO
temperance reform. They came rs .
sort of a moral force, to encourage
BY their presence the friends of the bill and
assure them that the measure wa one
which encountered their heartieet eympa-
pathies. The opponents of the bill, being
weak in numbers, but strong in parliament
tsry resorts, anticipated the hour Of the
special order BY instituting fllibustering
movements which demoralized the forces
arrayed in favor Of the measure before the
time for action came. These tactics were
followed up and the house crowded into
committee Of the whole in spite Of the in
tention of the majority to permit no delay
in bringing about immediate final action.
In committee of the whole a
couple of amendments were carried and
the balance Of the time was consumed in
dilatory motions. The house was, finally,
after two hours struggle, brought to an al
most unanimous adjournment without a call
for the previous question or anything per.
tanning to final action. There is now a dis.
position among its advocates to throw the bill
aside and substitute a measure which shall
be prohibitory in its nature. Mr.. Laneness
bill, as it no stands, provides that on and
after the general election in 1877!
the question of granting licenses
permitting the sale of liquor in any count,
shall be submitted to a vote of tn,
electors of the county and as the majorit,
decides SO will the sale of liquor be permit
ted or not permitted. An effort was mad,
in the committee Of the whole to confn,
the operations of the proposed law to tn,
counties of Minnehaha, Lincoln, Union an,
Clay, but it was voted down. An uusuc
cessful effort was also made to except th,
counties of Bon Homme and Richland from
the measure. The bill will be brought to
test in the house tomorrow in its regu!a,
order, that of unfinished business.
