AN INTERESTING ExPERIMEST--IRoN RAILROAD ST
PERsTRUcTURE.-The Erie railroad is making an in
teresting experiment of laying iron roadway for
its track 1t is composed entirely of castiron and
includes everything pertaining to the roadway ex-
cept the rails 1t requires bolts spikes of any
kind; and the New York Times says that it may be
taken from the furnace and adjusted upon the road
with less labor and expense than is usually required
to lay the ordinary wooden sleepers This iron
casting is imbedded in the ground on stone, or a
similar solid foundation, where it is secure from
frost and other disturbing causes. The rails rest
upon India Rubber springs, which deaden the noise
of train, and at the same time off those heavy
blows and shocks Of the engines and cars while run
ning thus diminishing their wear and tear. As the
superstructure of a railroad wears out it is estima
ted, every seven years, road laid of material
more durable than wood is an improvement much
TO be desired by the stockholders.

DANGEROUS BALLOON AscESsIoN.-On Tuesday last

SAP TArx or Cans, Hrrocnir - DBAfHs-Mia
Anna Marshall, young lady, - years Of sge, CON-
mitted suicide at Newark. N. j., ON Friday last =
she was buried on Sunday, but was disinterred and
a coroner's inquest held. The Newark Mercury
says: -.
Her brother testified that the deceased had told
him, over month before her death. that she had
been seduced by one William Ward; that upon his
inquiring how she had permitted herself TO 30
deeply err, she had replied. " The devil must have
tempted me-" and that, according to her own rep
resentaton, she took poison solely that she might
escape the disgrace OF giving birth to an illegiti
mate child. She had known Mr. Ward for several
months and supposed herself entirely safe In his
hands, he being a member Of che First Baptist
Church. Upon her desth-bed she said, however,
| that possibly Ward was no more to blame than she
WA.
Other witnesses confirmed In general terms the
testimony of Mr.. Crooks. Mrs. Godbey, the lady
at whose house she died. testified that two or three
weeks since, her detection became so manifest az
to excite the apprehensions OF Mrs Godbey, VINO
inquired the cause Of her sorrow. She replied
after much hesitancy, that she, protesting TO he
Christian had committed sin for which there was
no pardun-that, In a word, she had had, on two
occasions, criminal intercourse with Mr.. ward
who, she said, had boarded where sae did before
she came to Mrs. Godbeys. On Friday evening
last, the deceased taken i'll, and In reply to the
questions Of Mrs. g., stated that she had taken ar
senic.
The deceased was member Of church. and had
many accomplishments which commended her &c
the regard of all who knew her. Socially, her pc
sition was good one. and in the church she occu
pied prominent position, being regarded as pure
Christian in precept and practice.
William Ward. whom she charges with being the
cause of her death, s man about thirty five years
of age, a member of the First Baptist Church, and
has been generally regarded as man OF irreproach
able character. He positively denies, we under
stand, that anything criminal has ever passed be
tween himself and the deceased, but admits that
he on one occasion made an improper attempt upon
her person.

We tender TO our readers the compliments Of
the season, and wish them, one and all, A HAP
Ply NEW YEAR. For the kindness extended
towards us, during the past year, we offer the
most unfeigned thanks, and renew our pledges
to do what we may, to make our paper still more
worthy Of the extensive patronage awarded to it
Ia patronage. exceeding that Ct nearly every
other paper in the interior of New England. For
q period, now, of more than third of century,
during which, the writer of this paragraph has
presided over the editorial department of THE
SPY, it has been his aim to make it faithful
and reliable record Of passing events, and
wholesome medium OF correct political principles
and Of sound morality That his efforts have
not been altogether unsuccessful, he feels assur-
ed, by the generous support, which, at all times,
and under all circumstances, has been accorded
TO It. While it has been his lot to see numerous
other papers spring up, from time to time, around
him, and, after brief existence, to perish and
be forgotten, THE SRI has gone steadily on,
gaining strength and frmness, up to the present
Sine, and, at this moment, it holds position
and enjoys patronage never equalled at any
former period of its existence. For all this, we
feel truly grateful, but prefer, now, as hereto
fore, to manifest the feeling by continued and
increased efforts, rather than by profession of
words, always SO easy to make, and too frequent

make good his former assertion that tbs Dem.
ocratic papers of that State, for the most part,
did not publish the resolution of the CincIn.
natl Convention endorsing Gen. Perce's ad-
ministration, thus, by this omission, repudiat-
ing it.
Messrs. Marshall and Harris of Illinois,
took issue, denying that the Democracy of
that State avoided the doctrines and positions
presented by the Cincinnati Convention. The
resolution endorsing President Pierce was not
part of the platform.
The Diplomatic and Consular Appropria-
ton bill being under consideration, after some
debate on the propriety of paying Consular
pupils, the appropriation for their salaries was
stricken out, and the bill passed.
