a Few Fossils.

Dean Trench says OF words that they are los
sill history" and Lincoln has tried to impress it
upon the public mind that we are all Of us hard
at work s'making history to day. We have
made so much already that good deal of it
has begun to fossilize and pass into speech For
the benefit of the next edition of Websters Die
tionary or Bartletts s'Americanisms," we hast
en- to pick up and shelve a few of the most re-
markable results of this double process as we'll
in the way of phrases as of single words give
ing proper credit in each case to the maker
either of the fact or of the ''fossil" which en-
balms it.

DEMOCRATIC NoMINArIoNs.-In number of
Counties of this State, we notice that our Dem
ocratic friends are already putting their tickets
in the field for the fall campaign, and we are
pleased to see that in every instance they are
selecting their very best men-especially for
State Senators and members of the House of
Representatives. In the Washington and Greene
District that highly esteemed gentleman, Hon.
WILLIAM HOPKINS, has been nominated for Sem
ator. A purer man than he does not live-his
election is a fixed fact. In the Westmoreland
and Fayette District, JOHN LATTA, Esq, is the
candidate He is lawyer of considerable prom
ise, and is high-minded, honorable man-quite
an appoosite to his predecessor, Dr. Fuller.
For the House we have already nominated G.
l.. Pershing, Esq, of Cambria, DR.. Patton, Of
Greene, w. T. Alexander, of Clarion, John
Hagnett, John w. Riddle, and J. b. Chambers,

SCENE IN THE ARMY.-"A6jutant, form the
regiment as in dress parade. Now read 'em
the resolutions the General and me drew up
last night Adjutant reads the puff OF the
administration and threats against the copper
heads" '.Now, my men, you are to vote on
these resolutions. All of you who oppose them
step four PAGES to the front Come out here, you
copperheads." No candidate rash enough to
step forth. 'sThe resolutions are unanimously
adopted--parade is dismissed" says the Colonel.
