approached, the gas lost some OF It's
buoyancy, and the desired altitude could
only be kept by the frequent throwing
out of tbe sand ballast. At one hme, the
dra0.rope touched the water, and the
party began TO look for wet jackets. This
amusement was enjoyed for half an hour
At5:2O. the course was westerly; alta
little before z, the party was relieved by
change of the water base for land. AT
this time they were sufficiently near the
earth to get an answer from their inquIr

guide-rope caught in tree top and for a
short time brought the balloon to stand.
This was in sight of the lights of the city

A WEDDING that attracted rather more

late this village The groom is connect
ed with one OF the first families of South
port, CT, and of culture and liberal educa-
ton; and Miss Sanborn is a young lady
of more than usual personal and mental
attractions. The ceremony took place at
o'clock. at which hour the house was
filled throughout with deeply interested
spectators. The desk, communion table
and stand were beautifully decorated
with flowers and trailing vines-he flow
ers being for the most part Of the signifi-
cant white. After the audience was seated,
the order observed was, first the approach
of the ushers Mr.. JAMES SMITH and
JAMES REED, Jr., in full dress-who took
position on the extreme right and left OF
the chancel; then came the grOomsman
and bridesmaid proper-Mr. SAMUEL
PARSONS and Miss MAY EvERHART, of
Winona, who arranged themselves-gen-
tleman on the right and lady on the left;
then followed the bride and groom, who
took the central position. These entrances
were all deliberate, and at brief intervals
between. On the appearance ofthe bride
and groom tbe organ pealed forth the
"Wedding March," under the manipula-
ton of Mr.. SMITH, the organist of the
Congregational church. After the parties
had all taken their positions, the music
was bushed, and the pastor, Rev. Mr.. Nc
GIFFERT, arose and announced the bans,
and gave the Scripture authority for the
relation about to be assumed. The usual
ceremony was then repeated. with the use
of the ring-the parties respectively fol
lowing the promptings of the priest. At
the close ofthe ceremony, which was both
appropriate and impressive, the bride and
groom took leave, followed by the bridal
party and friends, while the organ again
sounded forth its rich and solemn notes.
The numberof friends present precluded
the attendance of others not Immediately
connected with the family, at the house.
The wardrobes of the pair were rich and
elegant--that of the bride was of white
Faille silk, trimmed with point lace, all
in good taste, ,chaste and elegant. The pres
ents were ofunusual number and richness
amounting in value to 81 500 or more.
Those sent by the friends of the groom
were from the we'll known firm of Mar
qaund & Co, whose country residence is
at Southport, and neighbors of the Perry
family. Altogether, this wedding is the
mos. prominent affair of the kind that has
ever taken place in Ashtabula.
The party left on the midnight express
for the East, intending 10 make leisurely
trip, taking New York, Philadelphia and
Washington in the route. The kindly
wishes of a host of friends will follow

horses it will be difficult to get 10 fire

be true, why would it not he better to
purchase a self-propelling steamer? These
machines are now in use IN many OF our
larger cities, and give excellent saiisfac-

travel fifteen miles an hour over common
roads, and they are, we believe, little or
nomore expensive than the common

the fair at the present day-the display oi
horses-was on this occasion, well sus
tanned. The stock of horses was good, and
the trotting could hardly have been more
rrs,ieving Case, the Unknown horse
roaD of Kinsman, came on to the course
with Black Hawk stallion, and a four
wear old gelding from the same horse.
The trotting ofthese two animals was the
great attraction of the afternoon. The
time made by the colt was 2:491z-
which, however, was not fair indication
of his speed. His competitor was not a
match for him-he therefore took it leis-
urely. The manner of doing their work
.bv both these horses, commanded the ad-
miration of every witness. Ii showed
their consummate training. The colt, es-
pecially, attracted attention for his bea uty
of action, and for the calm, steadiness
os his performance. He struck his gait
and held it around the course without a
break, aud without an audible word or
noticeable motion from his driver.
Fee, of Warren, had his HambletonIan
stalIions Ledger and Wide Gold Dust-the
first was fine animal, but of his speed
we were unable to judge, from the want
of proper handling-under the saddle as
he was. Gold Dust was horse of vigor-
Gus action, and has the qualities for a
winning horse.
The Orwell Cornet Band furnished some
excellent music for the occasion.
