He was a member of the constitutional convention that formed cur present state constitution. Miss Wolf wag married in 1S43 to William Hastings, and they moved to Kansas, where they aettled on a claim in Franklin county, three miles from Osawatomie in 1S". The border troubles coon began and the settlers were greatly troubled by the border radians. Kansas City was their nearest market, but he was unable to cross the border to obtain necessaries. Starvation etared them in the face, and Mr. Hastings determined to go to Nebraska, and loading up a few of his household efiect?, he. with his family, started for a more hoppitable clime. When about fifteen miles on his journey he met John Brown and his little army, numbering about 2U0. Erown stopped them, and being informed of their intent, promised them protection if they would return. Hastings gladly turned back and wni afforded the promised protection. Brown had claims near those of Hasting?, but he, too, had been driven from them. Brown had two eons with him, one of w hom wa John Brown, jr., now a reaident of But In Bay, and w ho came to this city in September, 18S2, to identify the skeleton of his brother, Watpon, who was killed at Harper's Ferry in October, lKt. The skeleton was in possession of Dr. J. J. Johnson of this city for almost twenty years. John Brown, the el der, was a frequent visitor at the Hastings' homestead, and Mrs. Hastings remembers him very well. She says be was a white hatred, gray bearded, taciturn old man, whom she never aw laugh or mile. He was ever alert, and continually "on tho go." He carried a soldier's blanket and slept in the open field, prairie or thicket, just as caution dictated. Brown was with them a few davs before the battle of Osawatomie, in which Brown was victorious, having loet but three men. The battle was In the early morning, and ehe remembera of distinctly hearing the firinsr, as it waa but three miles distant. Brown went to I-awrence, Ka., after this battle, and Mrs. Hastings savs they were troubled no more by the border ruffians. She moved to fntumwa, Coffey county, Kansas, in to give their children the benefit of the schools. Her husband went back to tho farm, sixty miles distant, for a load of wheat, and while there was paid a small urn of money in the presence of an Indian, who followed nine miles toward home and shot him in the back. Mr. ilastinga, t hon eh mortally wounded, unitcned his horses from the wagon and rode three miles to the nearer t house where he died next day. Mrs. Hastings ihen returned to Sullivan and has since continued to reside there. Her life has been an eventful one, yet she is a cheerful lady and shows but little sitrns of the many triala and suffering" ah was called upon to endure. Mr. VTIIltameoa'e Kxplaaatlon.

TWO MIDNIGHT GHOSTS. A Physician Sees Strang S'a-hts at an Old Monon Wreck Scene. CnAWFORDsviLLE,March 2H. Special. But a few short weeks ago the dreadful word readied the city, and spread over it like wild-fire, that a Monon passenger had jumped the rails just north of town and left in its track death aud destruction. The etory of the awful, ghastly procession with its blanched faces, as it came slowly into town on that memorable afternoon is well remembered aud can never be forgotten. The sight of those wrecked care, smokiue ruins, crippled people and dead bodies on the hill side is fresh ia the memory of all. Since that fatal day a quiet melancholy eeema to have hovered over the unfortunate spot. Even horses ana cows shun it. Birds turn their flight as they approach it. Only the morbidly curious have ventured near it. LaFt night a leading physician of this city, who was present a few momenta after the awful catastrophe and waa an eyo witness to the terrible, hcart-rendiug scene, was called from his warm bed to fee a sick man who resides not far from where the wreck occurred. He told the Aryu$--Vfua this morning of his midnight trip which, if it did not turn his raven locks white, (rtve him a scare that he will never recover from. He says that just as he approached the foot of the short hill, where the wreck occurred, ho heard tho distant rumbling of an approaching train. Checking his horse he waited, and in a moment the north-bound Monon paseneer dashed by on iu way to Chicago. Before the bright lights of the many windows had disappeared and tho distant mmbliug of the wheels had died awav, while the long line of heavy, black Binoke, ttill hovered over the hilL, a sight met his gaze that almost paralyzed hira with fear. With the irreattst difficulty lie held his horse, wild with fright and plunging and snorting to break away. Ik-fore him, on the hillside, where the fatal coaches had rolled down, ho saw two figures clothed in white. They would rice from the crouad. walk about and hold up their white arms in supplication. "I never," continued the doctor, "believed in ghosts. But there were two right before my eyes. I didn't feel like I was exactly ttcared, but I was possessed with a sensation tuat is.mdesribable. It was an awful moment. I can yet Fee thoe white rob?d visions walking about on that hillside. I only remained a moment, but it seemed to me I was there an age. My horse fairly flew up the hill, over the track and homeward bound. I don't believe I could get him near that spot again, even in daylight. If vou doubt what I say just go out there tonight at 1 :'M and I'll venture to say that you will wit ness the Fmo eight that I did." Since the horrible wreck oi January no leas than tnree accidents have occurred on this spot. Only last week, while John Hogers, a young farmer living north of the city, was walkinc along the track he noticed a distortion of the rails before him and was fortunate enough to stop the train before it dashed to pieces on the dangerous rails.

Logan Bobling. ABOUT THAT FLAG AGAIN. Rewarded for Defending a Pels aad Not th Stars and Stripes. Mr. "William Jackson of Hamilton county desires to correct a statement which aopeared recently in The Sentinel to the eüect that Mrs. Mary A. Whittinger. a echool teacher, was presented $40 in gold by her friends for defending a flag, which bad been suspended ia the school yard, from being torn down. Mr. Jackson says Mrs. Whittinger is not a school teacher. She is a married woman and the echool house adjoins her farm. The republicans put up an abh pole and suspended a tlaz from it. A majority of the pations of the school are democrats and they objected, not to the flag, but to the polo, which was made of what is recognized in the country as republican. They wanted this pole taken down and a nonpartisan pole, made of pophir or some other wood than hickory or ash. put up in its place. Put the rapublican trustees refused. The democrats proposed to tear the of-h pole down, but Mrs. Whittinser armed herself with a double-barreled phot tfun and stood miard over the pole. The democrats were not opposed to the flag, but to the polo. Mrs. Whittinger did not defend tho fiatr, but the pole. The democrats are in favor of running up the Union Hag in echool yards, but are opposed to putting up republic in poles on public property.
