panions were enjoying themselves in road
side public house whittier, by a accident, a
person named Andrew Homer, who fancied
himself great poet, having written great
deal, happened to stop on his way to Edin-
burgh, to find a publisher for his verses. In
the course of conversation, being rather over
come by the fumes of toddy, he explained the
reason of his journey ito the great CITY," when
one Of the company made wager with him
that he would find a man in the room who
could compose better verse IN given time
than he could. Andrew being rather conf
dent IN his muse took the wager the time be.

In the year seventeen hundred and eighty nine,

In the year seventeen hundred and eighty nine
The dell gat stuff to make swine,
And put it in a corner;
But afterward he changed his plan,
And formed it something like man,
And cad 1t Andrew Horner.
Andrew was so much dispiritec at his own
defeat and the witty genius of Burns that he
threw all his verses into the fire, swearing he
would never write another, but be content to
attend to his farm and let poetry alone for the
future.

JOHN b. PACKER, of Sunbury, chiefly

JOHN b. PACKER, of Sunbury, chiefly
distinguished as member of the Came
ron FAMILY by marriage, may generally
be depended upon to turn up when there
is an official vacancy. He has probably
been " mentioned - in such connection
as often in the past few years as any
man in the state. The atmosphere at
Washington has been rather chilling to
such mention in the past four or five
years, but now that tic air is more
genial and Simon Cameron finds the ad-
minis.ration at home when he calls, this
last mention Of Packer may blossom
ard bear fruit.
