Edr. of "a, R-gi.ir.
Y no will not admit that in their most
prosperous days, some little annoyance or
trouble would arise to poison the cup of
happiness, either through pride, envy,
regret, jealousy, or some other cause,
trivial in itself perhaps, yet sufficient TO
mar the peace Worldly happiness ac-
corling 10 thl common accoptation Of the
term, even TO those who are healthy and
fortunate, requires much care to obtain.
Only those who do not stop TO wranglo
with petty grievances can ever succeed;
for this fact has always existed, those
who claim too much may lose what they
have. The story Of proud llaman Of old,
who was indignant because Mordeeai was
allowed 20 sit at the King, gate, aud the
subsequent retribuliou that finished his
false pride, fully illustrates the point.

Acting uodcr our best judgment We
kept our eyes and ears open for a flank
movement TO be made, as we supposed,
from the jail in Catskill to the renowned
Waltz farm Our watchiulnoss was at
last repaid by a mysterious movement
made about halI-past three o'clock in tho
morning A livery team md large
wagon quietly emerged from the stables
Of Cargll e. AldIich and proceeded to
the jail. Very soon after Officer Ernst,
handcuifed to the murderer Waltz, en-.
erged from the Jail, once more breathing
the pure air of heaven.
The sheriff of Greene county, Plat
Coonley, was warranted by Gov. Dix aud
the supreme court Justices as we arc in.
formed, to take WALTZ from the jail to
the iurm, aud allow him to point out the
places where be confessed lay the bodies
Of his victims, which he had murdered
and buried, and also the places where he
had buried aud concealed stolen property
and property found On the persons Of hi.
victims the object being the iuriheranco
OF justice, If possible.
The first movement upon arriving at
the fam was to take up the line Of march
for the ditch on the norihcrly side Ar.
riving at certain point, Waltz pointed
out the spot whore he buried man whom
nc killed some three years ago. The
