East Arlington,

Monday evening of this week horse
belonging to Charles Eddy performed
quite feat; being left unhitched at
Horace Millers door, he got an idea into
his head that he wouldn't wait for Char
lie, so started for walk quite indie
pendently. The horse is blind, but got
along all right until he reached the
bridge on Water street, below Arlington
village, where, in trying to avoid some
cattle that were crossing, he stepped off
the side and fell twelve feet below. The
horse, in falling. broke loose from the
carriage, which fell on top of him and
was not badly demOralized. The horse
was found feeding in a meadow as
though circus performances were quite
in his line and nothing unusual had hap
pened. A light snow had fallen so that
the team could be easily followed.
The change in the weather brings out
oVercoats and muf1ers. The first snow
is disappearing.

Clark-FieId.
A large party of friends and acquain.
tances gathered in the Old First Church
at bennington on Thursday evening,
November Sth, to witness the marriage
of Miss Ruth Dunning Clark, the young
est daughter of the late Dr. Frederick
Clark, and Lieut. Commander Wells La
fin Field of the United States Navy.
The church was handsomely trimmed
with chrysanthemuns, palms and ferns.
The ushers were the fellOw-OffiCers of
the groom, whose gay uniforms and mil
itary bearing were quite impressive to
the citizens of an inland town. The rel
atives of the bride and groom, about
forty in number, showed their devotion
by making the journey from New York
at this least favorable season, and were
seated in body near the altar. The
wedding march was played by Mrs. Geo.
w. Keeseman, and at little past eight
o'clock, DR.. Henry NJ. Field and the Rev.
NJ. l.. Severance took their places in
front of the altar and were followed by
the groom accompanied by Lieut.. Com
mander r. NJ. Berry, who was best man.
At the same time the ushers took their
position at the right of the altar, and the
maid of honor advanced up the broad
aisle. The bride came in leaning upon
the arm of her brother-in-law, Mr.. Amos
Lyon of Orange, n. Y. The service was
performed in an impressive manner by
DR.. Henry NJ. Field of the Evangelist,
uncle of the groom, assisted by the Rev.
M. l.. Severance.
After the ceremony the relatives and
immediate friends of the bride repaired
to her home at Fernhurst, which they
found decorated in most tasteful mar
ner with flowers and vines. One of the
spacious rooms was assigned to the we'd
ding supper, and another, quite as i'm
pressive, to the wedding gifts. The lat
ter were both numerous and costly, COM
prising articles in gold, silver and china,
both decorative and useful, bearing am
pie testimony to the affection in which
the parties are held. Lieutenant Com
mander Field, with his bride, left at a
late hour amid shower of congratula-
tions and good wishes, which will follow
them on board the school ship saint
Mary's," where they will hereafter make
their home.

THE first full-fedged snow storm of
the season started yesterday morning
and from few fakes falling here and
there, struggling feebly to make a re-
spectacle appearance under adverse cir
cumstances, it has reached the proper
tions of midwinter visitation. Most of
the snow, however, is in the air. The
proverbial "f1eecy mantle" does not COW
err the earth because the flakes are dis
solved as soon as they strike the ground,
dampened by recent rains. Myriads of
them descended, however, and before
night they constructed a foundation
which caused the eyes of those who ca
gerly await sleighing, to glisten. 1t is
pretty early in the season, however, and
it will take heavy fall of snow to last
any length of time That which came
down was damp and heavy, and with
good "bottom' would undoubtedly
make sleighing possible. The moderate
temperature indicates that snow will
give way to rain in a short time. The
storm was not severe enough to interfere
with railroad traffic or the telegraph and
telephone wires.

The Washington Post wisely pre-
sents the success Of democrats in a
recent special election in the Sd CON
grcssional district Of Ohio, to com
mend and emphasize the letter of
Congressman Baby,ck warming re-
republicans against the danger of
over confidence. The Post concludes
It's timely article thus:
The campaign conducted by the Democrats
OF this district was aggressive, and the mem
bers of the party who had been discoutented
and lukcwarm were soon interested, As a re-
suit the Republican majority Of last year. 553
is transformed into Democratic majority of
oyer 1900. Il is true that this particular dis
trct has returned much larger Democratic ma
iorites, hut never before did the democrats
fight under such adverse circumstances.
That the effect of this special election will
tend to encourage the Democratic party and
inspire it 20 enter the app oaChing campaign
with moro yigor than in otherwise would have
done there cannot be the least doubt At any
rate 1t is now quite plain that the Republicans
cannot afford TO take everything tor granted
and depend on past successes 10 carry next
NoyDmbcrs elections for them. As Mr. Bah
cock has shown, the Democrats hold great
advantage boy reason of the formation of the
Congressional districts and all they lacked was
or gunUatiun. That they will now proceed 70
organize and fight hard there can be no doubt
and it tho republican managers fully realize
