GEN. BUELL.-The following Dispatch dat
ed Washington, Nov. 5th, is from the Boston
Journal:
The Chronicle intimates that the I" dark and
mysterious riddle" of Gen. Buels conduct is
answered by his whole army, "by the terrible

vt,n 10 i'm, hat ,,;t k,,.,
country friend, for a new singing book-the
latest issue of the Lyre. Judge of her sur
prise when the messenger returned with late
copy of the Eastern Argus, The pumpkin Of
clerk had judged Of the article called for by
the sound of the word, and very innocently,
and not unnaturally thought, in sending the
paper, that he was literally filling the order
from the fair customer.
SUICIDE IN LowELL.-The Lowell papers
say that on Monday evening Julia Stone,
yonng woman 2S years of age, belonging in
Norway, drowned herself in the Canal near
the Lawrence Corporation. She had worked
for some years in the mills. and since their
stoppage had been employed in making SOL
diers' clothing at very low prices. She had
been in depressed state for some time on ac-
count of her prospects for the coming winter.
She was fine young woman and of good
character.
% The Argus says Mr.. Nathaniel Merry
man OF Brunswick, has just paid his .fitty,ffth
annual subscription to that paper. He has
taken the paper ever since he was eighteen
years of age. We know Mr.. Merryman well,
and respect him as good old gentleman, and
only regret that the "indiscretions of his
youth" should cling to him in old age. We
hope no one will infer from his adherence to
that paper, that he is hoary sinner, for he is
no such man, much as the evidence seems to
be against him.
~g We learn from the Courier that the
Advertiser and Argus folks made a demon
stratiom yesterday morning over the New York
election news. They kindled bonfire in an
ink keg! Such extravaganza, in these times
of expensive paper stock and increased tele-
er intimaies that it was the work OF derils-
Not unlikely, judging from what has emauated
from those offices OF late. They will be lucky
if the devils don't kindle fire, one OF these
days, which can't he covered with an ink keg,
and to escape from which will require an
abandonment OF their wretched politics.
