Buried Forests.

Extensive forests covering VALLEYS and hill
sides are overturned sand the uprooted trees
form a gigantic barrier, which prevents the
flowing off of the waters An extensive
marsh is'formed, particularly well adapted for
the growth of various kinds of +noSses. cas-
they perish they are succeeded by Others, and
so for generations, in unceasing life and labor,
until, in the course of time, the bottom, under
the influence Of decay and the pressure from
above, becomes turf Far below lies hard
coal the upper part is light and spongy. At
various depths, but sometimes as much as TWEEN
ty feet below the surface, an abundance of bog
wood is found, consisting mostly Of oak, hard
and black as ebony, or of the rich chocolate
coored wood of the vew. Such ancient for
ests every now and then rise in awe-inspiring
majesty from their grave. The Whole city Of
Hamburg, its harbor, and broad tracts Of land
around it, rest upon sunken forest, which is
now buried at an immense depth below the sur
face. 1t contains mostly lines and oaks but
must also have abounded with hazel woods,
for thousands Of hazel nuts are brought to light
by every excavation, not exactly made fOrnutS.
The city of New Orleans, it has been recently
discovered, is built upon the most magnificent
foundation on which city ever rose. 1t was
the boast Of Venice that her marble palaces
rested in the waters Of the Adriatic on piles
of costly wood, which now serve to pay the
debts Of her degenerate sons but our Venice
has not less than three ties of gigatic trees be-
meath it. They all stand upright, one upon
another, with their roots spread out as they
grew, and the great Sir Charles LycIl express
Scs his belief that it must have taken at least
eighteen hundred years, to fill up the chasm,
since one tier had to rot away to level with
the bottom of the swamp before the upper
could grow uponit.

James Buchanan.
" 4 aominatioa nat fl to Je made"

| James Buchanan, Of Pennsylvania, having
received the nomination for President of the
United States by the ofice-holderS prO-slarerg
Convention at Cincinnati, | beg leave to refer
republicans and democrats to his past history.
On the 4th of JYly, 1915, he said in his speech
on that occasion, that ''if he thought he had
a drop of democratic blood in his veins, he
would open an artery and let it out" He was
first elected to the legislature by the federalistS
of Lancaster, in that year, and afterwards
elected by the federalists to Congress in 1920,
1922, 1924 and 1926, in opposition to the
democratic candidates, JacobIIebshman, Sam
uel Houston, and DR.. john McCamant
In 1928, June Sd, as chairman Of a federal
committee, he addressed a cireuIarSstS the fed
cralists of the state, calling upon them to sup
port Andrew Gregg, federalist s'for Cover
nor, in opposition to the democrateSlsiditatc
In 1928, at the Yellow Springs, Chester cotfil-
ty, he refused to allow his name to be used as
democrat, saying che was a Jackson man,
but, thank q Cd no democrat" General Jack
con cantioncd President Polk against him a,
an nlaithful and decctful man and when
too late Mr.. Polk found ont the truth of the
caution, and SO expressed himself to the Hon.
Henry Horn of Philadelphia
The democrats Of the Union should reflect
before they vote for Mr. Buchanan for Presi-
dent. He is willy man, and will be surround
ed by bad men-men of the stamp of Brooks,
Fouey, Herbert 4 Company His mesent
democratic pretensions are all fudge, and be
was no doubt sincere when he said ten cents
a day was enough for poor Iaborer in this
country Working men and mechanics hes

WITHDRAWAL OF Mr.. BUcHANAN-It is
stated that Mr., Breckenridge really made a
proposition to Mr. Buchanan, at Wheatland,
on the subject Of his withdrawal.
The plan is to get Mr.. Donelson also to
withdraw, and unite the Democratic and the
American tickets in the persons Of Fillmore
and Brecknridge Such IA ticket, Mr.. Breck-
inridge thinks will be likely to succeed against
Fremont and Dayton.
What is to be done about the two platforms,
does not appear. Nor have we learned what
response MIR Buchanan made to the PROPOSE
ton.
