the whole principles which governs such cases in the

The person who first spun thread made an orr

the man who first invented weaving probably tied
his thread to the branches of tree and put in the

been made for the same objects, are for improve

first grasped electricity, and sent it the

same object employing the same messenger, must be
for variations of the original machinery to produce

The LAST WoNDER.-By invitation of the mana
gers OF the Bowery Amphitheatre, we yesterday had
the pleasure of witnessing Professor McCormick's
experiment OF walking on an inverted plane. The
experiment was private one, only few persons
being present. and was made under very disadvan-
tageous circumstances-the preparations being ne
cessarily incomplete, and the health of Professor
Mccormick being somewhat feeble. The expert
ment, however, passed off to the entire satisfaction
of all present. heavy frame erected with a
slab of marble nine feet long at the top, the under
surface being polished like a mirror. We saw the
expermenter mount his platform, and adjust his
wiedy boots then placing both feet against the sur
face of the marble, he swung himself off, with his
head downwards Disconnecting one foot from the
slab and placing it firmly several inches in advance
of the other, he continued the alternate movement
till he had taken ten steps, and arrived at the other
end of the slab. We held our breath during the ex
pertinent, expecting, momentarily that he would fall
but he appeared to walk safely as fly runs along
the ceiling. After his descent, however, we noticed
that he was much exhausted, owing to the excite
ment and the exertion. The public exhibition o.
this wonderful experiment will take place at the
Bowery Amphitheatre, on Monday evening next.

TTThe Clevelend and Erie Railroad, the compile
ton of which was the just occasion of somuch re-
ioicing by the people of these two cities few days
since, deserves something more than the passing
notices that have been bestowed upon it, in the
newspapers. The length of the road is 50 miles.
The line is straight nearly the whole distance, and
there is not single deep cut on the whole route.
Nearly all the way the road bed is merely thrown
up sufficiently to receive the ties The valleys and
the streams are crossed by entertainments and
bridges, the grades very Low, and when the en-
tire line is baastedit will be the best for speed and
safety in the country.
At the grand celebration at Cleveland, TO COM
memOrate the completion Of the road, we find there
were great many things said and done never reamt
of in the philosophy Of the telegraph. Some of
these we quote from spirited report which find

Murder.

The Eikton Wing says that the dead body of Mlria
Pritchard, ofCecil county, Maryland, was discover
ground, some distance from the house. just over the
Delaware line. She had evidently been dragged
there after she was murdered, traces OF blood having
been discovered from the house TO the spot where
she lay A bloody club was found, with which
she had been dispatched, and two of her fingers
were thrust through the handle of jug, probably to
create the impression that she died through intern
perance and exposure. John Pritchard, her re-
puted husband, Caroline Pntchard, his sister, and
Caroline, the widow Of Henry Pritchard, who was
shot BY CHM, are suspected of perpeuating the
crime. Pritchard had not been arrested and the
women say they have no knowledge of the murder.

LEGISLATURE.

From indications. thus far, We are led to hope
that the Legislature will transact large amount
of business and adjourn at an early day. We are
souy II perceive however, from the proceedings on
the proposition to allow our Banks to issue notes of
denomination than Eve dollars, thatth matter
h.s been indefinitely postponed for this session,
though it will be still in the power of some of the
affirmative voters to move reconsideration of the
vote of Thursdsy and also of the vote on poposi-
ton nearly similar, last winter-so that we may
yet have this indispensable law passed, if only for
a short time. Why not let the people Try it and
see what will be the result. We are confident that
the experience of our citizens calls loudly for ex-
tending this power to our own Banks to the exclu-
sion of foreign Banks; and we all know that we
cannot and do not get along without small notes.
