James Baker, asking for the appointment of a constable and jailer for Golden is being circulated this week. Owing to the rapid increase in the population during the past few months the citizens have come to the conclusion that one constable is not enough for the town. At a public meeting of the citizens beta on the ilOth April last, to lay before our hon. member, Col. Baker, the wants of the district, the above was one of the " wants" pointed out to the Col. He told us that it wus too late to do anything this year as the appropriations for constables and jailers had already been made, but promised to give his attention to the matter at the next session. As it is rumored that an early session of the Legislature will be held in November, tbe petition will act as a gentle reminder to the Col, of his promise.

Logansport, Ind., Sept. 25.���Any night during the past week as the moon rose through the tops of the tall trees about the historic spot known as Battle Ground, the spectacle of an aged, bearded figure spading at the turf beneath the pines might have been seen. The ghastly workman was digging at his own grave. For many years Al- lanson DeWitt has lived in this secluded place, unloving and unloved, spending his leisure with his pen und books. He was a victim of unrequited love. In 1828 he waa one of the beaux of New Vork. A relative of the Stuyvesants, he was admired in the city's highest social circles. But he became infatuated with the betrothed of another, and finding his love hopeless, he sought the west, and ever since has led tho life of a recluse and a hermit. For 40 years he has inhabited the lonely cabin on the banks of tlie Tippecanoe. Now, in his 87th year, with whitened beard that reaches to his waist, and piercing iiyes, half hidden beneath heavy brows Iio has become au adherent of Col. Ingersoll, and firmly proclaimed the justification of self-destruction. Not only has he completed the digging of his own grave, but lie has ordered his monument and composed his epitaph. It reads as follows, his directions lo tiie scultptor being that no capital letter be used other than that iu "God": A bachelor lies beneath this aod, Who disobeyed the luws of God ; Advice to others, thus I give��� Don't live a bach., as I did live.
