My OPINION AND BETSY BoBDIT's is the
title OF new publication just issued by the
American Publishing Company, of Hartford,
Connecticut. The book is designed rs beacon
of light to guide women TO life and liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness 1t may also be read
by the serner sex without injury, as the read
ing of it will certainly cure the most aggravated
case ofdyspcpsia. 1t is written by Josiah Alien 5
wife. She has displayed wit and sarcasm, inter-
mingled with advice more completely than has
been done in any O;hcr book Of similar charac-
ter ever issued. The book contains about IS fEll
pages, and about 40 utLcr Illustrative pages ap-
propriate to the case. 1t is published on sub
scrption. F. p. Fink, Esq, is the agent for
this section OF country, and is about to canvass
the towns of Northumberland, Sunbury, Shamo-
kin, Mt. Carmel, Shenandoah city and Tama-
qua, who will take subscriptions, and deliver
the WORK. Every family should have 4 copy.

PAxINos.-In going over the old turnpike, somc
fifteen or twenty years ago a favorite route Of
travel to Pottsville, few days ago, We were i'm.
pressed with the numerous changes and improve
monts made, and those that are now being made
along the road. But few of the old landmarks
remain, and the evidences of progress are visible
on every side Many fine buildings have been
erected of late years, ane now occupy the place
of old, log fabrics which have disappeared. The
farmers, too, are making vast improvements in
their lands which gives evidence that they are
becoming more enlightened in the science of
agriculture, as their harvests testify. At Paxi-
the scenery is magnificent, yet but little i'm
prevent has been made for years past in that i'm
mediate vicinity. The old tavern stand well and
favorably known by travellers between this place
and Pottvillc, in the stage line times, remains
standing, but as the present proprietor did not
get license, local option is fully tested, and man
and beast nrc allowed to pass by without an in
vitation TO be refreshed. This is the first time
in forty years that travellers on the pike road
are compelled to travel from Sunbury TO the
Broad mountain without finding a house of pub
lie entertainment. Many of its former friends
still stop to be reminded of former pleasant nsso-
Citations, and partakc Of the bounteous fare
spread on the tables of mine host and hostess,
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Nesbit. The weary tray-
weller, too, as he gances at the dilapdated sign
of this country hotel, appeals for food and rest,
but MS a private residence his chances depend
upon the generous heart of the proprietor, and
in many instances they are allowed to travel
twelve and fifteen miles further TO satisfy their
needs. While looking at the large amount OF
travel passing and repassng, we were iorcibly
impressed with the opiaion that Paxinos would
be much more entitled to II house of entertain
ment than nine-tcnths of those places in the
country where licenses have been granted

"PoKER" BROWN.

! On the Humboldt river lives an eccen
trio indiviual who rejoices in the name
of "Poker Brown" He is one Of the
pioneers of Nevada and of this country,
and one Of the original locators of the
Comstock He is honest and industri-
GUS, inoffensivc and benevolent, a kind
neighbor and a good citizen. But Po-
kerr" as his name would indicate, has a
weakness, and that is, morbid banker
ing, an uncomfortable passion for draw
poker, and to crafty this desire is, with
him, the chief object Of his existence.
Deprived Of the opportunity Of indulg-
ing in the game, life has no pleasures
for "Poker," though with him it is al
ways losing one. 1t has cost him sew

and 200 feet of the Gould l. Curry, two
of the best claims on the Comstock
These interests he disposed Of and lost
the last cent of the proceeds at poker.
He came to Humboldt in 1862 and set
tied on the Big Meadows, where he has
since resided, He engaged in freight
ing, and started with four wagons for
Carson. Arriving at Ragtown, the shar-
pers who formerly infested that famous
village, invited him to play and robbed
him of teams and wagons at one sitting.
Returning to the Meadows, he went to
prospecting and secured 400 feet in the
mine, near Qreana. This he
disposed of for $4,000, and his house

under the supposition that he could that morning
dispose of his time, he had made an appointment
for an hour with his agent on important business.
"Keep your appointment and do your business" "
said the Emperor. sand when you have finished

An hour had hardly elapsed when the Adjutant

Count Lehndorf was, until within the last few
