Athens post r??d north.; Tw?iniles from Catskill is a ?oH-gate, and one mile further on is a byroad, leading to a one and a half story frame dwelling on 'the side hill. This is where the WaJfe f?nily resides. It is an ?ld, weather-beaten structure, without the sign of paint upon its birt begrimmed ?des, and is about twenty feet square, surrounded by a vineyard three or four acres in extent, from which the Waltz family make a living. ] The family consist of bid Mr. Waltz and wife and one son. about; twenty three'years of age.. To this house on the night of May 2 went the scissors-f grinder, and he has not since been-seen ali ve. The next morning th? room up stairs in which he slept was visited, when a strange sight was presented. The bed-lounge or sofa-bed on which Hulcher slept was besmeared with blood in the locality where the sleeper's head and shoulders laid, and blood had trickled through the crevices to ?he under side, where the dark stains are still visible. Where the blood had smeared the upper side, an attempt had been made to destroy its appearance by daubing that part of the lounge with blue ink, but the person engaged in doing it must have been a blunderer, for tho under side was left entirely un touched. The blood had also formed in a pool on the floor underneath the lounge, and some one had also en deavored to remove the red stain by plaining it off, but had left enough behind to clinch the matter. These facts, coupled with the circumstance that the missing man's mother, and son-in-law had arrived in the village in search of him, led to the arrest of the old man Waltz and his son. The ar rest was effected yesterday,- when they were taken before Justice. Russell, of Catskill. At the prelimin ary examina tion, Waltz and his son showed no signs whatever of giulti When the old man was arrested he asked what it was for. The officer told huh circumstances bore heavily-gainst Mm on the charge of niui\lering, Hulcher. . "3fe; : "murder ?' ??J ^p' wouldn't. do thatfor aJLthe mon^yiiQ ancV haV?1 got together."

Finally, however, he sent i his son after/it, b?t th? latter did.not ton up ag?in till he was arrested. Alfter .the arrest Friday afternoon, it was re solved to search WahVs premises for Hulcher's body. In front of his house is a large swamp, and many were of the opinion the remains would be found there. Th? searching party first visited the rooms of the house, aacl found ?the room which Hulcher had occupied in the condi?on described above. They took the lormge out and sent i% to Jus$ee .'Ku?se?'s office in. GatskilL They also found a blanket which had evidently been washed to remove spots of blood front i% but some of1ihe stains are yet vissib??. ; ' Xeaving the house, the searching party moved toward, a stone wall in the rear of the premises, being attracted thither by marks of blood upon stones leading toit. The top of the wall was somewhat crum bled and torn away, as though the stones had been tumbled off. A , close examination found one pile of stones on the wall partially covered with dirt stained with blood, and here tod there h?ir w?s* visible. * B&rkn?ss comiug,o??i, Sa?iiriajrax^ returrie??fto Catskill village/ .. _ -_ UM . - -TO^iiighfr the stoiy ^the fcton? wall was canvassed in almost ?vexy hoT^ ^jCats^,^nd various opipipps ^eej^^ man Waits. didn't know anything ?1*3^ "S?feS, ?e-tbe?^tiie feibh?ri^ wisiipg te shield ther sofe; It?p? t?i? latter toi dir?g the bodJ^bd t??Jtouseupto and over the stone walj^ w$ th?n they buri??j the remains.

It?J?' known that thescissorsrg^nder had be tween |1O0 fmd $200 on his person; and if he has been murdered money was no doubt the motive. Early Saturday morning tne Catskill authorities took hold of tb?caqe in earnest. Long prodding irons were made, at 9 A. M., the searching party started for Waltz's house again, intend ing to prod through every foot of ?arth on Waltz's premises in search of Hill Cher's body. The prisoners have not said a great deal as yet. It was re ported Saturday morning that a pain ter named Comfort had an interview with old . man Waltz, dming which the latter, when asked if he wouldn't tell all he knew about the ease, stammered and hesitated, and replied, "Wait) and see if they find the body." This, how ever, is mere street rumor, and we endeavored to find the painter to ascer tain its truth. He was not at home, but his wife said if he had such an in terview she would know it. ?his painter is Greene County's executioner. There have been three executions in the county since 1847, at two of which he officiated. ._ j There is no denying the fact thaj; the deepest mystery surrounds this last ease, and the facts summed up point very strongly to a murder. The ar rival of the scissors-grinder at Waltz's ?ouse, his disappearance, the bloody lounge and bed-clothes, the^attempt to remove all signs of blood, the tumble down stone wall, with its blood-stains ?nd hair, form the strongest kind of ?rcumstancial evidence against old man Waltz r and his son, and they will find it seriously troublesome to explain it all awa}*l Other developments are expected hourly. !
