THE SEASON.

+" Never was there such season before
is common remark, from year TO year, as
seasons vary from dry TO moist or from hot to
cold. Yet it may be well said Of The present
season that il is unlike any within our recol-
lection. The dryness Of our atmosphere is
now aggravated by the prodgious quantity OF
smoke with which il is surcharged. in the
counties Of Oxford and Kennebec and from
the river Kennebeck TO New Hampshire, fire
has ragged so violently in the woods and soil
as to leave scarcely any means of arresting
its progress. In some places broad trenches
have been dug in the earth as the only effect
ual barrier to its ravages. The smoke in
some places is oppressive and almost suiiooat-
ing, affecting the eyes and lungs most disa-
greeaby. On the Kennebeck it has been
found so dense as to render it necessary to use
a compass in crossing the ferries. Ia some
part Of the country it is stated houses, barns
and cattle have been destroyed by tie fires.
1t is much to he regretted that people wisl be
so improwilent, in clearing the country, as to
8 t in operation an en- ,ne SO destructive AMI
uncomfortable, at season so dry and danger
Gus. In countries recently cleared in tins
desolaiing manner the want Of fuel is already
found to be serious evil.

DIVISION ORDERS.

18th DiDasion, .Northyarmouti, Oct. 5G, 1916
The Major-General having reviewed the
FIRST and third regiments Of Infantry, and also
the battalion of Artillery and company Of
Calvary Of thl frat brigade on the Gath and
25lh ult. at Northyarmouth and Gray and
the several regiments Of Infantry and battal.
ions Of Cavalry and Artillery aud company
Of Ridemen composing the second brigade,
on the 26th, at Gorham, has observed, it'll
great satisfaction, the correct and military de-
ponment of the several corps, as well as their
improvement in discipline aud knowledge ol
military tactcks.
The light corps and Uniformed companies
generally, of his command, deserve great
praise for the assidliy and success with which
they have pursued the objects of their insti,u-
ton. Their example in fostering and pre-.
serving military spirit wil! be as useful to
other troops as honorable to themselves and
beneficial to the miitia.-The Mai. General
could not make it convenient TO review the
second regiment OF the frs, brigade but from
the report of the Brigade-lnspector he is
satisfied that this regiment is equally entitled
TO praise for progressive improvement, with
the other troops fthe division,
The promp,nes and alacrity with which the
troops of the second brigade obeyed the brig
ale order calling them TO the field al an un-
usually early hour, not required nor contemp-
lated by the Major-General, has given deci-
sive proof of their soldier like habits and their
high sense ofthe duties and obligations of mill
tary discipline.
The Major-General did not fail to observe
the indecorous language in which Brig Gencr-
al Irish thought proper to indulge in his order
Of the 4th ult." The Brig. Gen. however has-
ing seen the improperly Of that course, and
having voluntarily apologized for the same.
