T., on Friday, for tho murder ot Joaoph Holcher, a scissors-grinder, and who, only on the day proceeding bin execution, mashed in the skull of the keeper placed in the oell to watch him, was undoubtedly a maniac, a a maniac, however, whom it woul hare been dangeroua to allow at large, and who would hare been an unsafe inmate even for an insane aaylum. In his eon fession of the murder of Holoher he atatcs that his victim came to the house of hii (Waltz's) father to pas* the uight. The evening was spent in plea sant conversation, and after all had gjus to bed, young Waltz, as his confoasiou states, waa seized with ao uncontroll able impulse, whioh ho took for tho prompting of an evil spirit to kill the Gorman. He opened his Testament to read, but soon laid it down and "resitted the spirit until it overcame him." He then went out of doors and got a hatchet and crept softly Into tho guest's reom. A not bor struggle of consoience against the murderous impulse took place, but it was too feeble and he killed the old man in his sleep. Ho says in a subso quent confession, ''I struck very hard, but I scorned to have no strength." He then buried the oorpse, anjd broke tho scisaors-grinder'B poor apparatus to pieces and buried and hid the fragments. He committed so many follies as to attract suspicion to himself, and after ho was arrested he took the officers to tho place where the body'was buried, and made a voluntary confession of tho crime. He felt no remorse for what ho had done and no fear as to his own fate. His fssuj were too peor to employ able couujal to defend him, And he wasf??* victed. Ilia execution was delayed*for some time, and Gen'l Dix made some etfbrt to gain information as to hie mental condition. IIo was satisfied that Waltz was not so insane nr> to be moral Jy irresponsible, nud therefore refused to interfere with the a scout ion of his sentence. On Thursday Waltz gave | another terrible proof of his homicidal madness. Ho had been violent all day. and some time before had threatened the lifo <of his keeper, Charles Krnsst. 1 Bat the latter did not bej^eve in his insanity and did not fear his violence. His con?denco proved his ruin, for about two o'clock, ae he was lying on a lounge in the eell, Waltz attaoked him with an iron bar he had torn from the floor and crushed his skull in several places. He possessed himself ot the victim's revolver and keys, bat made no effort to escape. Having gratified his murderous impulse, he sat down on the floor in the corner, growling and mutter ing like a wild beast. He made no resistance to the jailers who came in and chained him, with tardy decision and sagacity. Ernest was a general favorite tili the village, and there was a mom en tary attempt to lynch his slayer, bat the Sheriff succeeded in preventing it; Up to the moment o f the execution, the conduct of the doomed man did not differ from what it had been since he was first arrested. He muttered, or rather growled, and most of the time he was crouched silently in a corner. He stated vacantly at his keepers, and would answer no questiens. At 9 o'clock his mother Was led into his cell It was thought that she might bring him to a consciousness or his position, but those who held this beliof were dis appointed. For a few minutes after sho entered he continued gazing at the wall. His expression was then that of an utter idiot, and lacked even the slightest gleam of intelligence. Suddenly, and without relaxing his gaze at the wall, he gave a fierce, hoarse howl, sprang to his foot and seized his mother by the hand in a j threatening tuannor. Tho officers had anticipated tnlsehief, . and Constable Whitcomb, who was watching the pri soner's movements, foreed him. tq Joosi his hold on hi smother, and the lady nt once retired, grief-Btriokon at her son's sad eondition. ' The most pit'tfql socne of tlio day, however, was th,e visit of Waltz's fi.l8.tar to hii cell.. She pleaded wfyh hiiu. Jong and with deep religious, fervor;, besenoh log bim to acknowledge his crime and id prayer seek the forgiveness of the AI njighty; but if, was of no avail. He either could net or we^ld, n.ej^ b^ear, her, and. tho girl, weeping bitterly and, with nerven ao UMtrun^ that she could; hardly walk, was compelled to go array without haying accomplished hor misiion. At teu o'clock Father Drisosll, a Roman Gatholio priest, entered the prisoner's coll, followed by the latter's friends. The priest read the burial service of the Church, but did not administer saora mcnt, ao he did not believe Walts was in a fit state of mind to receive it. When the funeral service was over, the prisoner's arms were stoutly pinioned, and the procession was formed for the march to the scaffold, whieh was erected in the northeast cornor of the upper floor ef the jail. Father Driscoll led the way: then eame Sheriff Coonloy with Waltz, and Constable Witoomb and the jury who had pronounced the verdict on the doomed man brought up the rear. The noose was at once adjusted on tho prisoner's neck. After the usual pre liratnary ceremonies of reading tho death warrant, and prayer by Fathor DrUcoll, the prisoner was asked if he had any thing to say. There was no response. A shudder of horror at this instant seemed to pass through tho frames of all present, for,as some said, they felt that they were about to see a lunatic hanged. But at tho thought of tho keeper, Charles Ernest, who lay un consoions in an adjoining room from - injuries reeeired at ?'? altz's hands, the feeling of sympathy which had been momentarily excited spont itself. The black cap was then pulled over the faco of the doomed man, who gave not tho slightest indication of consciousness of the proceedings, and then, at 10:16 the fatal cord was pulled. At tho rocoil of the body, the noose slippo 1 round to the back of the head. Apparently, there wai little suffering, for after two or throe convulsive contractions of the fingers, the whole frame hung motionless. I~ f?Mvs?n iiii-H uix j the body was est down. Just j before this was done Anselm WMtz, the father of Joseph, who was .present, and, with deep emo tion, pointiug at the dangling remains ot his son, "Can anybody who looked upon that body say he was not insane " Shortly after the body of Waltz had been cat down, six physicians entered his cell and proceeded to hold a post mortem examination. They found the neck broken. They then trepanned his skull, and on examining the brain found it to weigh fifty-four ounces, a half ounce heavier* thau that of Dauiol Webster, and fourteon onnces heavier than the average braia of a human beiag. All the organs were in a healthy condition, and the intellectual faeultios I were largely developed. The physio iae could discover nothing to indicate insanity. After the examination had been completed the brain was plaoed iu liquor and will be taken to Albany to undergo examination by experts of that city. ?18 last victim still alive?burial op the criminal's body. Hodson, N. Y., May 2?Charles Ernest, the officer who was assaulted by Waltz, was alive at one o'clock this after noon, and was removed to his residence. Tho body of Waltz was buried on the farm last night, tho only persons in attendance being tho father, mothor, sister and a laborer.' The brain of Waltz was sent Albany to-day for soientiQo examination. A fi.nny incident happened at the Brston Theatre a few nights since. Maggio Mitchell was playing "Fan chon.' In the third aot a scone was sot in which a bridge began on the right of the stage down noar tho auditorium, ran directly to the rear, and thonoo along tho wholo width of tho stago, which Is perhaps the largest in tho country.

A case in which a duel was prevent cd by one of the seconds, much to the disgust of the other, who happened to be a military man, may be related here It occurred during the extra session ?I Congress iu 1341. Thomas K. Marshall invited three gentlcAion to diue with him one stormy, dismal Sunday. One of the guests was an officer of the army, from the South, whe afterwards made something of a name during the rcboll ion. The other two were connected with the press. Aq entertainment given by Tom Marshall before he joined the cold-water association was sure to bo abundantly furnished with wine. Mar ahull and one of the uewspaper men, who was from New Orleans, drank deep ly. They hud been olass-matea in col logo, and were on terms of familiar intimaoy. A slight misunderstanding aroso between them, and both boiug con siderably elevated, a harsh remark was made by the editor. Murshall inquired if he was responsible for what he hud paid. The reply was. 'Tom Marshall, you ought to know me too well to ask such a question.' The party broko up rather suddenly and a short tituo afterward the oditor brought to his friend of the press who was presont at the dinner a challenge which he had just receirod from Mar shall, with an unconditional acceptance, asking him to deliver the reply, sec tho army officer, who was to act as Mar shall's second, and make arrangements for an immodiato meeting. The ftiend of the oditor was inexperienced in such matters, but he was impressed with the folly of u duel between two gentlemen on a misunderstanding at the dinner table, und determined to pre rent a light at all hazards. l(e held the acceptance until ne.ur the close of tho following day, when he waited upou Marshall. 'You came, I presume, on behalf of Mr.-:' ?Yes Sir.' 'You have been a devclish long titno in getting hero!' 'That, is my fault inkiroly. Your challenge Wits accepted at once.' 'Let mo have the acceptinee, thou, without further delay.' 'Here it is,' the gentleman roplied. 'But 1 do not propose to delivor it at aUL I will not bo accessory to a duo I between two men who have uo roal cause of quarrell,' and thereupon tore the paper in pieces and threw the frag moots into the fire. Marshall was mu ch astonished, and inquired of the gentle man if he knew tho responsibility he had assumed in so doing. The reply was that ho neither knew nor cared. 'You have put yoursolf in yonr principal's place, and I presume you are prepared to take tho consequence/ said Marshall. ?Nonscenso,' was tho reply. 'I will neither let-meet you, nor will I fight you myself on any such rediculous quarrel. Now, what do you intond to do about it V Marshall finally burst iuto a laugh, and iu less than an hour's time all the parties were, taking a friondly drink, at (jodsby's. The army officer was inclined to make a scene, protesting against tho irregularity of tho whole proceeding, but there the difficulty ended.? An Old Stager, in Harper's Magazine for April.

The farmer's wife was laid out and tho husband and his children were grieving over nor loss when the editor knocked at the door.

How to Raise Chickens.?My p rnctico in raising chickens is, to take them from tho hen, then dig up the soil and place the coop on the fresh dirt, then put the chickens back, and the hen will roll in the dust and get the lice off much better than on grass land. I havo tried both ways, and find the fresh dirt much the best for the health of the hen aud chickens. In some instances I have used hog's lard for greasing tho hen'e wings and the head of the chick, think ing it a good way te kill lioe. That and the ircsh dirt and the right kind of food have raised my chickens. Tho food I givo, till they are threo er four weeks) old, is Indian meal mixed with nouv milk. I let it stand one day after being mixed, then it will he tit for use, it bain*, swelled in the dish instead of the crop, otherwise it might result iu death to the chick, for I havo lost many by giving raw moal before it was soaked and swelled properly.
