SnRYoCK -ToFFLEsIIRE.-At the resi-
dence of the brides parents, on Sun
day evening July 1st, 1853, by the
Rev. j. w. T. Jordan, Mr.. II. II. Shry-
ock and Miss Kate a. Tofflemire, all
Of Washington Springs.
The immediate relatives of the con-
tracing parties were the only ones,
aside from the minister and wife, who
were privileged to witness Tommy's
transition from the Territory of bach
elordom to the State of Matrimony.
The occasion was q most enjoyable one,
and though long expected will perhaps
be surprise to many Of the friends of
the parties. Together with their large
circle Of friends the HERALD uliites in
throwing all of it's old shoes after the
happy pair and wishing them path
way arched with horse-shoes, that good
luck, prosperity and happiness unal-
loyed may be theirs to the end Of a
long and useful life.
In this issue we present our readers
with the address to the People, adopt
ed by the Huron Convention: the con-
venticn also adopted an ordinance pro-
.viding for an election to elect delegates
to the State Convention to be held at
Sioux Falls on the 4th Of September
next. The question thus far has been
How shall the expense attending the
election be met? In answer to this the
Sioux Falls Press suggests the follow
ing plan:
can altogether feasible plan has been
suggested for giving the forthcoming
election for selecting delegates to the
constitutional convention, a regular Of
fetal character, and for distributing
the expense to the general public. Let
the county commissioners cali the cleo
tion, appoint the judges, etc, having
the sheriff serve the notices, and all
the other duties attended to as for any
special election, the expense therefor
to be paid out Of the general funds OF
the county The county will then Sc
cure from the provisional state govern
nlent it's certificates of Indebtedness,
which would be cashed by the state
upon it's admission and the regular Or
ganization of it's government. The
board Of county commissioners has au-
thcrity to submit to the electors Of the
county any question it may deem fit
for determination at q special election,
and the universal sentiment in favor
of the securing of a constitution would
be a sufficient warrant for the boards
to proceed as has been suggested. BY
this means all preliminary expenses of
the convention would be readily pro-
vided for, and this would make itmuch
easier to provide for the costs which
the convention itself would entail"
The lack Of hotel accommodations
here at the present time where SO many
people are coming in gives occasion
for good many laughable scenes if
one only could see them all. A short
time ago two ladies each with Il little
child about four years old were stop
ping at one Of the neighbors While
their own places were being made rea-
dy for occupancy. The children soon
became hoisterous in their nirth when
one Of the ladies took her child out
doors and corrected it. A. short time
afterwards the 6thei one was taken out
doors for the same purposes upon their
return to the house they We're met at
the door by the first child With the
question: "Dit 90 get spankt too!'
