The Weather.
as orator.

Although there has been abundant
rain fall in some portions of New Eng
land, especially on the coast, there is
almost a drouth in this section. In fact
the drouth of last fall and winter is yet
unbroken. There have been some cold,
damp days this spring, but up to the
present writing there has not been a
soaking rain for seven months. Unless
this drouth is soon broken, farewell to
the hay crop, and also to some other
important crops.
The fires in the woods, which are
raging the present week, make an at
mOsphere very peculiar throughout this
section. Near sunset for several nights
there has been IA sickly yellow tinge to
the green, and the sun has gone down
behind the hills as red as blood. One
little boy expressed it Monday after
noon: "Oh, mama, see that great red
moon ~
The streets are as dusty as i'll an
August drouth, and nothing but the
growing leaves indicate that it is spring
time. All hope for speedy change.
THE New FISH COMNIIssIONER.-Go
Fairbanks has appointed Hon. Charles
Barrett of Grafton, to fill the vacancy
occasiOned by the death of DR.. Lord on
the Board of Fish Commissioners. Mr.
Barrett is well known to many citizens
of the state having been much in public
life. He is graduate of Dartmouth
College,-Ot the class of 1852-is gifted
with fine artistic taste, which under
favorable circumstances for cultivation
would have placed him among the first
of American artists. He is also gen
tleman of high general culture, such a,
we are always glad to see holding officia
positions. He is il devoted disciple OF
Izaak Walton, and familiar with the sub
jects connected W tn the department o
fisheries, and will prove an efficient
cOadjutOr to DR.. Goldsmith in devising
means for the propagation and protec.
ton of fish and game within the state
