Joseph Waltz, who was hung at Cats kill, N. Y., 00 Friday, for the murder or Joseph Holsher, a scissors-grinder, and who, on.y on the day proceeding his execution, mashed in tho skull of the keeper placed in tho call to w?t#h him, was undoubtedly a maniac, a a maniao, however, whom it woul hare been dangerous to allow at large, and who would bavo been an unnafo inmate even for an insane asylum. In his eon fess'ton of the murder of Holoher ho states that his victim came to the house of his (Waltz's) father to past the uight. The evening was spent in pica sant conversation, and after all bad g >no to bed, young Waltz, as his confession states, was seized with an uncoutroll able impulse, which ho took for the prompting of an evil spirit to kill ths German. He opened his Testament to read, but soon laid it down and "resisted the spirit until it overcame kirn." He then weot out of doors and got a hatchet and crept softly Into tho guest's room. Another struggle ef conscience against the murderous impulse took place, but it was too feeb'o and he killed the old man in his sleep. Ho says in a subso quant confession, '*I struck very hard, but I scorned to have no strength.0 He then buried the corpse, and broke the scissors-grinder's poor apparatus to pieces and buried and hid the fragments. Ho committed so ennay follios as to I attract suapicion 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 the crime. He felt no remorse for what he bad dons and no fear ns to his own fate. Iiis famiiy were too poor to employ able counsel to defend hits, And ho wasf?o* victed. Ills execution was delayed'for some time, and Geti'l Dix made some efloit to gain information as to his mental condition. 11 o was satisfied that Waltz was not ao insane ar to he moral iy irresponsible, aud therefore refused to interfere with the axeoution of his sentence On Thursday Waltz pave j another terrible proof of his homicidal madness. Ho bad been violent all day. and some time before had threatened the life of his keepor, Charles l?rntst. ' But tho latter did not believe in his insanity nod did net fear his violence . His confidence proved bis rain, for about two o'clock, as he was lying on a louago in the sell, Waltz attacked him with an iron bar ha had torn from the floor and crushed his skull in several places. Ha possessed himself of tha victim's revolver and keys, but made no effort to escape. Having gratified his murderous impulse, he sat down on the floor in tho corner, growling and muttsr ing like a wild beast. He made no resistance to the jailers who cama in and chained him, with tardy decision and sagacity. Ernest was a general favorite L 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 of the execution, tho conduct of the doomed man did not differ from what it had been since be 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 qucstiens. At 9 o'clock his mother was led into his cell It was thought that she might bring hhn to a consciousness of his position, but those who held this bolief were dis appointed. For a few minutes after sho entered be 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, pprang to his feet and seized bis mother by the hand in a threatening aistunor. Tho officers bad anticipated mischief, and Constable Whitcotnb, who was watching the pri soncr's movements, forced him. tobies i bio hold on his rnothor, and the lady at once retired, grief-stricken at bor son's sad condition. The most pit\fv\l socne of the day, however, was th,e visit of Waltz's slate* to his cell. She pleaded wH^ bina, long and with deep religious fervor, bescach ing hun to acknowledge his orime and in prayer sdek the forgiveness af the Al mighty; hut it was of no avail. Ho either could net or v?9u,ld, n.ojt, bear her, and ln0 SV*!? seeping bitterly and, with neryeu so itustrung^ that she could hardly walk, was compelled to go array without haying accomplished her minion. At tea o'clock Father Driioell, a Roman Catholic priest, entered the prisonor's cell, followed by the latter's friond*. Tho priest read the burial aervioo of the Church, but did not administer saora mcnt, as be did not believe Walts was in a fit state ef mind to receive it. When the funeral service was over, the prisoner's arms were stoutly pinioned, and the procession was formed for tho march to the scaffold, which w as erected in the northeast cornor of the upper floor ef tho jail. Father Driscoll led the way : then came Sheriff Coonley with Waltz, and Constable Witoomb and the jury who had pronounced the verdict on the doomed man brought up the rear. The noose wan at once adjusted on tho prisoner's neck. After the usual pre lirainary ceremonies of reading the death warrant, and prayer by Father Dridcoll, the prisoner was asked if he had any thing to say. There was no response. A ;diudder of horror at this instant seemed to pass through the frames of all present, for,as some said, they felt that they were about to see a lunatic banged, But at tho thought of the keeper, Charles Ernest, who lay un conscious in an adjoining room from injuries received at -'? altz's hands, the feeling of sympathy which had been momentarily excited spont itself. The black cap was then pulled over the face of the doomed man, who gave cot 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 slippe 1 round to the back of the head. Apparently, there was little suffering, for after two or three convulsive contractions of the fingers, the whole frame hung motionless. In fourteen minutes the body was cat down. Justj before this was done Anselm Wiitz, tho father 0*1 Joseph, who was present, and, with deep omo tion, pointiug at the dangling remains of bis 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 u post mortem examination. They found the neck broken. They then trepanned his skull, and on oxatnining the brain found it to weigh fifty-four euacos, a half ounce heavier' thau that of Daniel Webster, and fo-irteon ounces heavier than the average brain of a human Lri-jg. All the organs were in a healthy condition, and the intellectual faoulties were largely developed. The physician could discover nothing to indioato insanity. After the examination had been completed the brain was plaoed iu liquor and will be taken to Alhany to undergo examination by experts ofthat city. his la8t victim still alive?burial op the criminal's ropy. 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 bis residence. The body of Waltz was buri?d on the farm last night, tho only persons in attendance being tho lather, mother, sister and a laborer.' The brain of Waltz was scot Albany to-day for scientific examination. A ft.nny incident happened at the Brstoo Theatre a few nights since. Maggio Mitchell was playing "Fan chon.' In the third act a scoue was sat in which a bridge began on the right of the stage down noar the auditorium, ran directly to the rear, aud thonoo along tho whole width of tho stage, which U perhaps the largest in tho country. At tho ond of tho act, after ?'La.ndry's" dialogue with "Fanohqn.," ho runs off up the bridgo, ;',iu\ when about to do this, and just us he took the first step, on the bridge, tho hero's trousers, which wero of the baggy kind generally worn, by stugc peasants, fell dowu in. the roar, and immediately a square yard of linou began, tq fluUer in sight of the audienco.

For two year.41 never opened it, except to take out and scald the flannels, as I do ever spring and fall, and if I thought of it at all, considered it somewhat whimsical to have all this nick room paraphernalia when nobody was sick. Then came that dreadful ae oident when Charles fell with that fall ing building and was brought home with a leg broken and a hand and arm bo crushed and bruised.

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 innn, may be related here It occurred during the extra session el Congress iu 1841. Thomas KS. Marshall iuvited three gentlenion to dine with him one stormy, dismal Suuday. One of the guestB was an officer of the army, from the South, whe afterwards made something ef a name during the rcbell ion . The other two were connected with the press.

A slight misunderstanding arose bot wood tliem, and both beiug con siderably elevated, a harsh remark was made by the editor. Marshall inquired if he was responsible fur what he had said. The reply was. 'Tom Marshall, you ought to know mo too well to ask such a question.' Tho party broko up rather suddenly and a short tiino 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 au unconditional acceptance, asking him to deliver the reply, sec the army officer, who was to act as Mar shall's second, and make arrangements for aa immediate meeting. The ft tend of the oditor wub inexperienced in such matters, but he was impr<nst*d with the folly of u duel bctwoeu two gentlemen oa a misunderstanding at the dinner table, und dctermiued to prevent a tight at all hazards. \\o held the acceptance until near the clone ef the following day, when be waited npou Marshall.

Marshall wad much astonished, and inquired of the gentle man if he knew tho 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 aro prepared to take tho consequence,' said Marshall. 'Nonsccnso/ was tho reply.
