 Leaving Grand Lake in the dim distanc, this foggy afternoon, does not have q ten. dency to tt my ideas to glow forth in s manner that will be either pleasing to tbt editors of the True Democrat. or interestino to It's numerous readers. Yet I am re- solved to ask you as matter of justice tc myself to assist me out of a desperate scrape Tn which you have unwittingly placed me hereby call your attention to my griev. ances, the extent of which can never be fully known.
 My name, which is truthfully set forth at the close of this communication, is A. '. Wells. You have made it appear, (be- cause forsooth certain gentleman who has the distinguished honor to have the same name as myself, took unto himself rib, ) that i am married without doubt.
 In your issue of August I, 1857, may be found this notice:
 MARRIED-On the 20th of July, 1857, by the Rev. s. Farnish, Mr. A. c. WELLS of Conway county, to Miss U. F. TYsoN of Pope county.
 Belng at that time strolling ambrotv- plst m the western part of the State, my relatives, who reside in Chicot county, very naturally supposed it to be their kinsman whose marriage notice they read in several papers. My surprise was great when on paylng them visit, the first inquiry was. where IS your wife9 The affections of my sweetheart had already undergone rever sion. It was a fixed fact that was mar ried man, and had made a grass widow of my wife, and would do so again, etc. Old ladies would not allow their daughters to receive my attentions; in fact I was used up man. Thinking the storm would soon blow over, l did not take any measures to prove my innocence. But the persecution waxes stronger and now at this moment is at its worst. appeal to you to say if you have any knowledge of Mir. Wells, where he was born, some outline of his life or character, tc prove him to be different man from the A. C. Wells of Grand Lake.
 Ii MT Wells of Conway county will write to you, or even address a note to me at Grand Lake, it will be thankfully receiv- ed.
 Spaldipg & Rogers great show was to be at Gland Lake on the 18th of January, 1858. They advertised that the elephant would stand on his head, and the steam organ or caliope, would be heard for miles, etc. They dii come; the elephant stood duly forth on his head The caliopc per formed that time -honored air Keno kimo" with such wonderful force and ef- feet, that the good citizens of Grand Lake whistled it unanimously for a week. and the energetic Charley of Franks. paused in the midst of his labors of placing goods on the high shelves, while parchei on the step ladder to rap out the concluding bars on the crown of a hat Spalding & Rod gars performed their part. but I-' was supposed to be . married man. The sole ob- ject of this communication is to di,abuse the minds of my friends of that erroneous sup- position Hear then my statement:
