The WALTON TRAGEDY IN NEW York
MRs. WALTON sTEsTIMoNY.-The examination
in this case is still progressing in New. Y York,
and on Wednesday Mrs. Ellen NJ. Walton,
wife ofthe man first murdered, and formerly
of this city, prefaced her testimony with a
statement that her family difficulties had
been misrepresented; that she and her chill
dren were prosecuted by her late husband 8
family, and that she would not testify for the
sake Of exposing family difficulties.
She was at home on the night of the mur-
der, from ten o'clock in the evening. At six
o'clock she had visited family named Morse,
opposite her husbands store, returned thence
home to dinner, then she went out to buy
her son Frank some shoes, and on the way
called at Pickering's, cher husbands uncle }
but did not go in because she was told
"Mother Walton" was there; first heard of
her husbands murder in the Sunday morning
papers. rt.,,ts
She knew Mr.. Walton had enemies; among
them was a Mr.. Grey, whom he dispossessed
of porter house; an Irishman, whose horse
and cart he had sold, and who had threat
ened to have satisfaction, if he died for it;
brotber-in-law of Mr.. Kehoe, his salesman
with whom he had some difficulty about
property, and a man named Williams, who
had threatened that Mr.. Walton should SEE
his day of retribution. Mr.. Walton had also
a decided animosity towards Mr.. Yelverton
through Jealousy, ,and carried pistol for him
and thought it probable the feeling was recip
rocated as Mr.. Walton had.publicly insulted
him. .I- ~. -....... .-1.

PERILoUs ADVENTURE - AN ERoNAUr
CROSSING LAKE MICHIGAN IN A BALLOON
Prof. Steiner, the celebrated aronaut whose
ascension from Cleveland, in this State, and
perilous adventure on Lake Erie will be re-
membered by our readers made his eighty
ninth ascension on the Fourth of July, from
Milwaukee, Wis, his intention being to cross
the lake to Grand Haven. The trip was an
adventurous one. At first he shot upward TO
the hight of $4,000 feet, when he got into
heavy thunderstorm. For half an hour he
sped through rain, thunder, lightning and
cold The balloon became wet, and descended
rapidly, so that the ballast had to be thrown
overheard. -H
On ascending again, after the storm had
blown over, he struck a secondstorm, and had
to throw over every thing, even his overcoat,
but without avail. The balloon struck the
water, and, as a last resource, Steiner climbed
into the cordage and cut away the car. The
balloon shot upward to the hight of 5000
feet in three minutes, and landing was
shortly afterward effected near the mouth OF
the Kalamazoo River, having successfully
crossed Lake Michigan. The entire length
Of the voyage was l03 miles, and occupied
two hours and thirty minutes. fHf

STEAMBOAT REGISTER.
Amusing Anecdote Of the Late Colonel
Preston-A Senator Mistaken for Black

. Preston-A senator Mistaken for n Black
leg. .... trH
Many of our readers remember the stately
presence, the dignifed bearing and imposing
manner of Col. William G. Preston, Of South
Carolina. 1t was when all these qualities
were in their prime, and Preston represented
his State in the Senate of the United States,
that business or pleasure called him to the
West, and to take passage down the Missis-
sippi River. In those flush times" the
steamers swarmed with hoosiers, greenhorns
and gamblers, the latter politely designated
sporting gentlemen" the term gambler"
or "blackleg" entailing on the speaker q
pistol shot or wipe from a Bowie-knife.
The boat was on the eve of departure, and
our Senator, standing on deck and holding a
small mahogany box, was observing with
great interest aud pleasure the busy scene on
the wharf, when an individual, luxuriating
in a rather ornate style of dress, approached
him, and in subdued tones demanded
~ say, old feller, when are you going to
commence2"
Commence what sir2" asked the aston
ished Senator lssf. YHa -I-.
"Pshaw; none of that Cannon with mel
The fact is, few of us boys on board want a
little fun, and we won't pile it on too strong
for you; so come and open at once"
"Really, SIR" replied Preston, "I am to-
tally at a loss to guess your meaningi open
what?"
"Open what Why, the bank, of course.
Maybe you think that our pile isn't large
enough to make it an object. But we're not
so poor as all that, any howl
The Senator meditated gloomily, but all
was dark to him; he was plunged in sea of
doubt, and he had never met any problem,
not even political one, so hard to solve.
"Perhaps," broke in his pertinacious friend
again, after considerable pause perhaps
you will say directly that you are not a
sporting man"
81 certainly am nothing of the kind, sir"
rejoined Preston, rather angrily; and / cam I
imagine what put the idea into your head"
"Not sporting mani Whew-wl never
| heard of such piece of impudencel Well,
| if you're not sporting man, will you please
| TO tell me why you carry the tools about with
you2" aud he pointed to the mahogany box
which he still carried.
A light broke on Preston's mind. "The
mahogany boxW he cried "Ah, yes ha, hal
Very natural mistake, indeed, my good sir,
very natural, indeed my good sir very
| natural, indeed Well, | will show you the
contents" And, laughing heartily, he opened
| the box in question, which was, in fact, hi!
dressing-case, and displayed the usual parade
of brushes, combs, razors, soap, &C., which
usually fill that article of travelling comfort
Our friend looked at the case, then at Pres
ton again. Then he heaved long sigh, ant
| then he pondered.
"Well,' he broke out at length, 81 did TAX,
you to be sporting gentleman-I did; bu
now I see you are barber, but if I'd known
it, hang me if had spoke to your Ant
so saying he "vamoosed."
Fancy the feelings of our honorable Sen
ator, as he assumed these various characters il
the eyes of an anxious stranger.

AN "UEHoLY SroBE."--We are under obli-
cations to J. Y. Anthony, Esq, for relic Of
antiquity, 10 which, for sundry reasons, and
especially to distinguish il from another arti-
Gle of curiosity which is now attracting some
attention, we have given the name which
stands ut the head of this paragraph. II is,
to appearance, a bowlder of hesh-colored
granite, of the exact size Of the heads of some
Infants, and weighing-at a guess-near four
pounds. 1t varies from perfect sphere only
In being slightly probate in its outline-in
that respect resembling those forms which
organic nature loves to produce, both in its
animal and vegetable domains; from one ex-
tremity starts what now bears a strong re-
semblance to vein of white quartz, which
passes in an irregular line nearly around the
stone-suggesting the idea of cord, by which
it may have been, at some remote period, sus-
pended. N g gn rI s. /.
That in its origin It dates from period
very remote, there can be no doubt. III con-
lectures were admissible upon so grave a
point of antiquarian lore, we should be in
clined TO give. 1t an Adamic, or at least an
antediluvian beginning suggestive as 1t is
of q time when the effects Of the fall were
but partly realized, or perhaps still more
wildly OF that period concerning which II
is recorded, "rhere were giants in those
days"

MEETING OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE WATER
woRKs.---At their regular meeting, the Board
of Trustees of the Water-works ordered wa
ter-pipes to be laid on Budd-street, and also,
ON Seventh-street, west. Superintendent
Phillips wac directed to proceed with laying
the twenty-inch pipe from Broadway west
along Pearl. The work to commence on
Monday, July 20. The petition to have pipe
laid in Wade-street, between John and Cut
ter, was rejected for the reason that there
were not sufficient signers. A copy of the
resolution passed by the City Council, in
reference to raising the grade Of Pearl-street
bridge, was read and ordered to be filed. The
Secretary submitted comparative statement
of the receipts of the past quarter and the
corresponding quarter for the last year, from
which it appears that the receipts last year
were $49, ,99l Is, and for this year, $47, ,647 81,
making difference of $2,243 54 only, not
withstanding the large reduction made in
the rates Of water-rents. Communications
were received from the Engineer of the
Works, from the Park Commissioners rela-
tive to the supply of fountains in Washing
ton Park, and from s. II. Goodin, Esq, rela-
tive to the park and reservoir project, now
