Joseph Waltz, who was hung at Gats kill, N. YM on Friday, for the murder ot Joieph Holaher, a scissors-grinder, and who, only on tho day proceeding his execution, mashed in the akull of the keeper placed in the cell to wateh him, was undoubtedly a maniac, a a maniao, however, whom it woul hare been dangerous to allow at large, and who would hare been an unsafe inma.o even for an insane asylum. In his eon fession of the murder of Holoher he states that his victim came to the houso ol his (Waltz's) father to pass tho uight. The orcning waa spent in plea sent conversation, aud after all had g)ue to bed, yoaog Walts, as his confossiou states, was seized with an uncontroll able impulse, which ho took for tho prompting of an evil spirit to kill the German. He opened his Tastamr.nt to | read, but soon laid it down and "resisted the spirit until it overcame him." He then went out. of doors and got a hatchet and crept softly Into tho guost's room. Anothor struggU ef conscience against the murderous impulse took place, but it was too fecblo and he killed the old man in his sleep. Ho says in a subso quent coufession, 'T struck very hard, but I seemed to have no strength." He then buried tho corpse, and broke tho scissors-grinder's poor apparatus to pieces and buried and hid the fragments. He committed so many follies as to attract suspioion to himself, and after he was arrested he took the officers to the place where the body was buried, and made a voluntary confession of tho orime. He felt no remorse for what he had done and no fear as to his own fate. II la famiiy were too poor to employ able couu?nl tu dofvnd him, and ho wasfoo? vioted. His execution was delayed for some time, and GenM Dix made some effort to gain information as to his mental condition. IIa was satisfied that Waltz was not so insane an to be mora' Jy irresponsible, nud ihcreforo refused to interfere with the oxeoution 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 life of his keopor, Charles ISra<sst. But the latter did not bej^eve in his insanity and did not fear his violence . His confidence proved his rain, for about two -o'clock, as he waa lying on a louago in the cell, Waltz attacked 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, bnt made no effort to escape. Having gratified his murderous impulse, he sat down on the floor iu 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 hi* the village, and there was a mom en tary attempt to lynch his slayer, but the Sheriff succeeded in preventing it. Up to the moment of the exeoution, the conduct of tho doomed man did not differ from what it had been sinco he was first arrested. He muttered, or rather growled, and most of tha time he i was crouched silently in a corner. He straed vacantly at his keepers, and ! would anawer no questions. At 9 I o'clock his mother was led into his cell It was thought that she might bring him to a consciousness of his position, but those who held this belief 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 relnxing hie gaze at the wall, he gave a fierce, hoarse howl, sprang to his feet and seized his mother by the hand in a threatening otaunor. Tho officers had anticipated mischief, nnd Constable Whitcomb, who was watching the pri soner's movements, foreed him, tnlnosj hie hold on hi s Mother, and the lady nt once retired, griof-strickeu at h?r son's sad condition. The most pitiful scene of the day, however, was tho visit of Waltz's sjatar to his cell. She pleaded wi,h him. long end with deep religious fervor, beseech in,g him to acknowledge his orime and in prayer seek the forgiveness ef the AI niighty; but it was of no avail. Ho either could not or wpu,ld, nojj heat; her, and, tho girl, weeping bitterly and, with ncrvcu ao unstrung that she could;hardly walk, wstotmpelled to go array without having accomplished bar miaaion. At ten o'olook Father Driscoll, a Roman Catholic priest, entered the prisoner's coll, followed by tho lattor's friends. The priest road the burial service of the Church, but did not administer sacra mcnt, as be did not believe Walts was in a fit state ef mind to receive it. When the funeral service was over, the prisoners arms were stoutly pinioned, and the procession was formed for the march to the seaffold, which was erected in the northeast cornor of the upper floor ef the jail. Father Driscoll led the way : then came Sheriff Coonloy with Waltz, and Constable Witcomb and tho jury whu had pronounced the verdict on the doomed man brought up the reir. The noose was at once adjusted on tho prisoner's neck. After the usual pre lirainary ceremonies of reading tho death warrant, and prayer by Father Driscoll, 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 the frames of all present, for,as some said, thoy felt that they were about to see a lunatic hanged. But at tho thought of the keeper, Charles Ernest, who lay uu conscious in an adjoining room from injuries receired at ?'? altz'a hands, tho feeling of sympathy which had been momentarily excited spont itself. The black cap was then pulled over the faoo of the doomed man, who gave not the slightest indication of consciousness of the proceedings, and then, at 10:16 the fatal cord was pulled. At tho recoil of the body, the noose slippo 1 round to the back of the head. Apparently, there was little suffering, for after two or throe convulsive contractions of the fingers, the whole frame hung motionless. Is fs~rtse5 ?jisiUixsa the body was cut down. Just; before this was done Anselm VY-iitz, the father ef Joseph, who was present, and, with deep 0100 tion. pointing at the dangling remains of his son, "Can anybody who looked upon that body say he was not insane X Shortly after the body of Waltz had been cat down, ?ix 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 braia found it to weigh fifty-four ounces, a half ounce heavier* thuu that of Dauiol Webster, and fourteon onnces heavier than the average braia of a human being. AH the organs were in a healthy condition, and the intellectual faoulties were largely developed. The physioian could discover nothing to indicate insanity. After the examination had beon completed the brain was placed in liquor and will be taken to Albany to undergo examination by experts of that city. HfS LA8 r VICTIM STILL ALIVE?nURIAL OP THE CRIMINAL'S nODY. Hudson, 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. The body of Waltz was buri?d ou the farm last night, tho only persons in attendance being tho father, mother, sister and a laborer.' Tho brain of Waltz was sent Albany to-day for scientific examination. A fi.nny incident happened at the Beaton Theatre a few nights since. Maggie Mitchell was playing "Fau chon.' Iu the third act a aceue was set iu which a bridge began on the right of the stage down noar tho auditorium, ran directly to the rear, aud thonoo along tho wholo width of tho stage, which Is perhaps the largest in tho country. At tho ond of tho act, after; ''Lqudry's" dialogue with "Funehon,," ho runs olf up tho bridgo, and when about to do this, aud just us he took the first step, on the bridge, the horo's trousers, which wero of the baggy kind generally worn, by stage peasants, fell dowu in. the roar, and immediately a square yard of liuou began, to, flutter in sight of the audienco. "Landry" folt what had befallen, him, clapped his hands to tho exposed, plaoo, nnc\ ran, up and along tho bridgo as. fast as his leg? pould carry hirn. For tho first couple of seconds the audience hard 1^ could believe, its eye*, bjot when the situation was fully appreoiqlod thoro was a, perfect howl. -"Wlffl! *** ??" ?-.

A ease 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 du ring the extra sosaion el Congress iu 1811. Thomas K. Marshall invited three gentleftion to dine with him one stormy, dismal Suuday. One of the guests was an officer of the army, lrom the South, wh* afterwards made something of a name during the rebel! ion . The other two were connected with tho press. Aq cntertainmout given by Tom Marshall before he joined the coldwator association was sure to bo abundantly furnished with wine. Mar Bhall and ono of the uewspapor men, who was from New Orleans, drank deep ly. They had been olass-matcs in col logo, and were on terms of familiar intimacy. A slight misunderstanding arose between them, and both being con siderably elevated, a harsh remark was made by the editor. Marshall inquired if he was responsible for what he had said. The reply was. 'Tom Marshall, you ought to know mc too well to ask such a question.' The party broko up rather suddenly and a short time afterward the editor brought to his friend of the press who was prcsont at the dinner a challenge which he had just reccivod from Mar shall, with an unconditional acceptance, asking him to deliver the reply, see tho army officer, who was to act as Mar shall's second, and make arrangements for an immediate meeting. The fiiend of the oditor was inexperienced in such matters, but he was impressed with the folly of a duel between two gentlemen on a misunderstanding at the dinner table, and determined to prevent a tight at all hazards, lie held the acceptance until near the close of the following day, when he waited upon Marshall. 'You came, I presume, on behalf of Mr.-V 'Yes Sir.' 'You have been a dovclish long titno it\ got ting hero I' 'That is my fault inliroly. Your challenge was accepted at ouco.' 'Lot mo have the acceptance, then, without lurther delay.' 'lloro it is,' the gentleman ropliod. 'But 1 do not propose to delivor it at all. I will not bo accessory to u duui betwoen two men who havo no real cause ef quarrell,' and thereupon tore the paper in pieces and threw the frag moots into the fire. Marshall was much astonished, and iuquired of the gentle man if he knew the responsibility ho had assumed in so doing. The reply was that ho neither knew nor cared. 'You have put yoursolf in y?ur principal's place, and I presume you aro prepared to take tho consequence/ said M?rshall. '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 intend to do about it V Marshall finally burst into a laugh, and iu less than an hour's time all the parties were takiug a friendly drink at (Jicd.sby'8.

It appears that tho reverend gculleiuau was very fond of pudding, so at a ministerial meeting 0.10 day, the hostess, in order to gratify the taste of her guest had pudding for diuner. Unfortunately it cimo very near the fire whilo ib was cooking, so that when it was served it was oxtromo ly hut. Tho parsou, without allowing it time to cool, placed a pioco at onco tu his mouth, and then followjT the "usual contortions incident to such an occasion but all to no purpose. The pudding would not go, so the parson, who was a polite gentleman, quietly slipped it out of his mouth and into his coat pocket, , all of which was observed by bio broth er ministers, who, for the purpose of's}. joke said,? 'So you.are putting the pudding in. your pocket, aro you?' 'Oh, yes,' said the parson unmoved, 'I put a jittlo pieoe in there morely Uf light my pipo with after dinner.

How to Haisk Chickens.?My p lattice iu raising chickens is, to take them from the hen, then dig up the soil aud 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 batter than on grass land. I have tried both ways, and fiud the fresh dirt much the best for the health of the hen and chickens. In some instances I have used hog's lard for greasing the hen 8 wiogs aud the head of the chick, think ing it a good way to kill lice. That and the fresh dirt and the right kind of food have raised my chickens. Tho food I give, till they are three or four weeks old, is Indian meal mixed with soar milk. I let it stand one day after being mixed, theo it will be fit for use, itbainj, swelled in the dish instead of the crop, otherwise it might result iu death to the chick, for I have lost many by giving raw meal beforo it was soaked and swelled properly.
