Joseph Waltz, who war hang at Cata kill, N. Y., on Friday, for tho murder ot Joseph Holeher, a scissors-grinder, and who, only on the slay proceeding his execution, mashed in the skull of the keeper placed in the cell to wateh him, was undoubtedly a maniac, a a maniao, however, whom it woul hare been dangeroua to allow at large, and who would have been an unsafe inmate even for an insane asylum. In his eon fession of tho murder of Holoher he states that his victim came to the house of his (Waltz's) father to pasi tho night. The evening was spent in plea sant conversation, and after all had gine to bed, young Waltz, as his confossieu statca, was seized with an uncontroll able impulse, which ho took for the prompting of an evil spirit to kill the Gorman. He opened his Testamrnt 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 the guest's room. Another struggle of conscience against the murderous impulse took place, but it was too feeble and he killed the old man in his sleep. He says in a subao quent confession, "I struck very hard, but I scorned to have no strength." He then buried the 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 auepioion to himself, and after he was arrested he took the officers to tho 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 an to his own fate. His family were too poor to employ able setters! to ?!-!?.?<! Wits, ai?4 h? w??^?->* vieted. His execution was delayed* for some time, and Geu'l Dix made some effoil to gain iulormatinn as to his mental condition, ilo was satisfied that Waltz was oot so insane an to be moral Jy irresponsible, aud ihcreforo refused to interfere with the execution of his sentence. On Thursday Waltz gavo another terrible proof of his homicidal madness. Ho had been violent all day. and some time before had threatened the life of his keeper, Charles Braust. ' Bat the latter did not behove in his insanity and did net fear his violence . His confidence proved hia min, for about two o'clock, as he wa* lying on a loungo in tho eell, Waltz attacked him with an iron bar ho had torn from the floor and crushed his skull in several places. He possessed himself ot the victim's revolvor and keys, but 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 iu and chained him, with tardy decision and sagacity. Ernest was a general favorite its the village, and there was a mom en tary attempt to lynch his slayer, but the Sheriff succeeded in preventing it. Up to the monie.tt of the exeoution, the conduct of tho 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 hs was crouched silently in a corner. He stared vacantly at hia keepers, and would answer no questions. At 9 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 she 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 hie gaze at tho wall, he gave a fierce, hoarno howl, sprang to his feet and seized his mother by tbo hand in a threatening oiauoor. Tho officers bad anticipated mischief, and Constable Whitcomb, who was watching the pri soner's movements, forced him. to, loosi his hold on his mother, and the lady at once retired, griof-strickon at her son's sad condition. Tho most pitiftd scene of tho day, however, was the visit of Waltz's sjfttor. to his cell. She pleaded wi,h him. long and with deep religious fervor, beseech ing \n\n to acknowledge his crime and in prayer seek tl\e forgiveness ef the Al mighty; but \t was of no avail. Ho eiiher could not or woujd, n,ejr< hear, her, and tho girl, weeping bitterly and, with nerveu 80 unstrung that she could.hard, ly walk, waa compelled to go away without having accomplished her mission. At tea o'olook Father Driaooll, a Roman Catholic priest, entered the prisoner's col!, followed by tho latter'a frionda. The priest road the burial service of the Church, but did not administer saora mcnt, as be did not bolieve Walts was in a fit state ef mind to reoeive it. When the funeral service was ovor, the priseaer's arms were stoutly pinioned, and the procession was formed for the march to the scaffold, which was erected in tho northeast corner of the upper floor ef the jail. Father Driscoll led the way : then came 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 oh tho prisoner's occk. After the usual pre liminary ceremonies of reading the 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 seo a lunatic hanged. But at tho thought of the keeper, Charles Ernest, who lay uu conscious in on adjoining room from ? injuries received at ?'? altz'a hands, the feeling of sympathy which had been momentarily excited spent itself. The black cap was then pulled over the faco of the doomed man, who gave not tho slightest indioation of consciousness of the proceedings, and then, at 10:16 the fatal cord was pulled. At tho recoil of the body, the noose slippe i 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. In fourteen minutes the body was cut down. Justj before this wos_ done Anselm wans, mi; inbiior at Joseph, who was present^ and, with deep emo tion, poinliug at the dangling remains of 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. The}' found the neck broken. They then trepanned his skull, and on examining the brain found it to weigh fifty-four ouncos, a half ounce heavier* thau that of Dauiol Webster, and fourteon ounces heavier | than the average brain of a human beiag. All the organs were in a healthy condition, and the intellectual faoulties were largely developed The physio ian conld disoover nothing to indicate insanity. After the examination had been completed the brain was placed iu liquor and will be taken to Albany to undergo examination by experts ofthat city. IIIS LAST VICTIM STILL ALIVE?TJURIAL OP THE CRIMINAL'S BODY. 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. Tho body of Waltz was buri?d on the farm last night, tho only persons in attendance being tho father, mother, Bister and a laborer.' Tho brain of Waltz was sent Albany to-day for soientifio examination. A fi.nny incident happened at the Beaton Theatre a fow nights since. Maggio Mitchell was playing "Fan chon-' Iu the third aot a scone war. set in which a bridge began on the right of the stage down near tho auditorium, ran directly to the rear, aud thonoo along tho wholo width of the stage, whieh Is perhaps the largest in the country. At tho ond of tho act, afiep "Lqudry's" dialogue with "Faochon," ho runs olf up tho bridgo, and when abotit to do this, and juat as ho took the first stop, on the bridge, the horo'a trousers, which, were of the baggy kind generally worn by slugc peasants, fell dowu in. the rear, and immediately a square yard of linen began, to, flutter; in sight of the audieaco. "Lnndry" felt what had befalleu. him, chipped his hands to tho opposed, place, and, rar^ u,p an.4 along tho bridgo as fast as his lega could carry him- For tho first couple of seconds, the audience hard !y could believe, its oyes, out when the situation was fully appreciated thero was a, perfect howl. - i UU, ji ~?. ?? - An old woman, in Durban England t claims Brigham Young as her long lost husband.

A ease in which a duel was prevent cd by one of the seconds, much to tb? disgust of the other, who happened to be a military man, may be related here Tt occurred during the extra session el Congress iu 1841. Thomas R. Marshall invited three gentlemon to dine with him ono stormy, dismal Sutiday. One of the guests was an ^ffieor nf the army, from the South, who afterwards made something ef a name during the rob el I ion. The other two were connected with the press. An entertainment given by Tom Marshall before he joined the cold-water association was sure to bo abundantly furnished with wine. Mar shall aud one of the uewspaper men, who was from New Orleans, drank Jeep j ly. They had been olass-matcs iu col lose, and were on terms of familiar intimaoy. A slight misunderstanding nrosc betwecu them, and both being con siderably elevated, a harsh remark was made by the editor. Marshall inquired if he was responsible for what ho had said. The reply was. 'Tom Marshall, you ought to know me too well to ask such a question.' The patty broko up rather suddenly and a short timo afterward the oditor brought to his friend of the press who was presont at the dinner a challenge which he had just received from .Mar shall, with an unconditional acceptance, asking him to deliver tho reply, sec the army officer, who was to act as Mar bhall's second, aud make arrangements for an immediate meeting. The fliend of the editor 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, und determined to prevent a light at all hazards. He held the acceptance until near the close of the following tiny, when he waited upon Marshall. 'You came, I presume, on bohalf of Mr.-V ?Yes Sir.' 'You have been a dovclish long timo in got ting hero V 'That is my fault inkiroly. Your challenge was accepted at once.' 'Lot me have the acceptince, then, without lurther delay.' 'Ilorc it is,' tho gentleman roplicd. 'But 1 do not propose to delivor it at all. I will not bo accessory to a duel between two men who have no real cause ef quarrell,' and thereupon tore the payer in pieces and threw the trag moots into the fire. Marshall was much astonished, and inquired 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 your principal's place, and I presume you are prepared to take tho consoqucuco,' said Marshall. 'Nonscenso,' was tho reply. 'I will neither let-meet you, nor will I Gght you myself on any such rcdiculous quarrel. Now, what do you iutend 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 friendly driuk at (iodsby'8. The army officer was inclined to make a scene, protesting against tho irregularity of tho whole proceeding, but there the difficulty ended.?

An anecdote is told of parson Shutc, the fust minister settled tit South Hing ham, which fo?1 ready wit ought not to pass uurccovdec. It appears that tho reverend gentleman was very fond of pudding, so at a ministerial meeting o.io day, the hostess, in order to gratify the tasto of hor guest had puddiug for tlinuer. Unfortunately it came very near the fire whilo it was cooking, so that When it was served it was extreme ly hut. The purnou, without allowiug it time to cool, placed a pioco at onco in bb? mouth, and then follew/1 the , usual contortions incident to such an occasion but all to no purpose. The pudding would not go, so the parson, who w?s a polite gentleman, quietly slipped it out of his mouth and into his coat pooket,. all of which was observed by his broth er ministers, who, for the purpose of a joke said,? * 'So you.are putting tho pudding in. your pocket, aro you?' 'Oh, yes,' said the parson unmoved, '1 put a jittlo picoe in there merely to) light my pipe with after dinner. The explanation it is needless to add, was sufficient. -?.-1-? . The Rich Man Leavlng's.

None of the victims are rich, aud most of hem belong to the poorest class. Thus, a workman was murdered for twenty dialers, a widow for a small sum of money which she had about her; a cigar merchant was stabbed vfor 800 thaler*, and so on. Some of these crimes, too, wcro committed in broad daylight. They are not the work of practiced bunds, but of an ignorant, brumal cliss, demoralized by war aud military life, and.drivcn by misery to adopt murdor ? as a professiou.

I let it stand oue day after being mixed, then it will be fit for use, it being, swelled in the dish iustcad of the crop, otherwise it might result iu death to the chick, for T have lost many by giving raw meal beforo it was soaked and swelled properly.
