THE BRIDAL AND BURIAL.
From tic New York Tribune.

The circumstances attending the death of Mrs.
Field are touching in the extreme She was
formerly Miss Ann H. Tuthil Principal in the
Female Department Of Brooklyn Public School
No. H. and for a number of years had been
greatly beloved by her scholars aud all who
knew her Mr.. Field, who is a well known Po-
mologst, residing on Broadway, Williamsburgh,
as member of the Board of Education, form
cd the acquaintance of Miss Tuthili. The ac-
quantance rpened into love, and resulted in
their being married at Kingston Wednesday
morning last On the occasion of resigning her
school, Miss Tuthl was presented by her schol-
ars with valuable keepsake, as a mark of af-
fecton they bore her.
After leaving she proceeded to the residence
of her sister at Kingston, for the purpose Of
preparing for her nuptials. On Tuesday eve
ming, Mr.. Field left Albany for Kingston, where
he was met by her brother and one or two gen.
tlemen from this city, who were present to wit
ness the interesting ceremony. On Wednesday
morning, the happy couple proceeded to the
church, accompanied by gay party of ladies
and gentlemen in sleighs. -Four gentlemen,
who were unable to procure seats in the sleighs,
were proceeding along on foot, when Miss Tut
hills niece called her attention to them and re-
marked that they looked more like pall-bearers
than wedding guests. What a strange signif-
cance there was in those few words.
They were united at 10 o'clock, and after the
ceremony, Mr. Field and his happy bride crossed
the river on the ice, in order TO take the express
train. There had been some doubts expressed
regarding the safety of the ice, and when once
fairly across, they congratulated each other up
on their safety. When the accident occurred,
Mrs. Field and her friends were sitting at the
rear of the last car chatting and jesting to-
gether, Mr.. Field being outside. The engine
tore through the car, carrying Mrs. Field with
it, breaking both her legs, and mangGng her
body frghtiully. After the first crash, her hus-
band went to her rescue, and removing great
quantity of rubbish, he found her on top of the
boiler OF the locomotive, held fast against the
side of the car by portions of her clothing.
Tearing her dress from its fastening, and break
ing his way through the car windows, Mr. Field
bore the mangled and almost lifeless form of
his bride to the air
Here he was surrounded by sympathizing
friends, who did everything for her that it was
possible to do, till at last she was placed on a
hastily made cot in one of the cars, and con-
veyed to the Getty House at Yonkers. Medi
/ cal aid was Instantly procured, but Mrs Field
/ failed rapidly and at I o'clock she breathed her
/ last in the arms of her beloved husband. Mr.
! Field was nearly frantic with grief. and it was
feared that this sudden dashing to earth his cup
of joy, so recently filled to overfowing, would
affect his reason. But after night OF the Wild
est grief he fell asleep in the morning, and
when he again awoke the danger had passed.
The body of the unfortunate lady was taken to
Kingston yesterday accompanied by the bereav-
ed husband, brother and sisters, and to-day her
funeral will take place at the same church from
which, but two days since at the same hour, she
issued the happy wife of the chosen one of her
! heart.
