LOWELL.
Lowell rejoices in its new tri-weekly
stage arrangements, including a covered
carriage drawn by a span. 1t is hoped
this team will be able to carry more than
one small valise or one empty handed light
have to submit to some inconvenience yet
e. G., our Boston and New York papers
published Thursday, reach us the next
Monday; and Newport and Essex or Wa
terbury are very distant points to reach
the railroad, so that the freight of expires:
matter and genus homo are not benefited
much as yet. Besides our other inconven
fences, the Standard does not reach us by
this mail, which is all we have, till Wed
nesday. 1t is hoped that the wheel of for
tune and progress may yet turn so as tc
bring our point of connection by public
conveyance through Irasburgh to Barton
Landing.

recently graduated Ed. Berry to Water
bury, nominally for trying the effect of hi'
