splendid new ball room built, expressly for such
occasions, by our enterprlsing townsman, Mr..
Hayes, proprietor OF the new theatre, was opened

three hundred invitations were sent out, and the
cards were not confined to Montreal only; but ex-

Excellency appeared in excellent spirits and in no

MORE OF THE Frost AND More INJURY TO CROPS.
"A letter received in this city Yesterday. saws the
Charleston Courier, of the 2lst inst dated Colum-
bia, 18th inst, says:-We had last night and this
morning plenty of frost, and ice. This, think,
has done more damage than that of Sunday night,
and to-day it is still very cold.
Another letter, dated at Hamburg, same day, re-
marks:-We had a hard frost again this morning,
which did as much if not more damage to vege-
tation In this vicinity, than any previous one.
A letter from Augusta, of 18TH says:-The ac-
counts we are receiving here from all parts of this
State, are very gloomy for the cotton crop.
We conversed with a gentleman who returned
yesterday from an excursion in upper Georgia, who
gives us gloomy accounts of the effects of the re-
cent storm in that section OF country.
In Bib and Cass counties, the wheat, which was
quite forward and much of it headed, was almost
entirely destroyed as was also the cotton, and the
crops of potatoes, both sweet and Irish What rem
ders the prospect for cotton crop more desperate
Is the fact that there was general complaint of
want of seed for re-planting.
The trees Of the forest too, instead of presenting
their usual full foliage of dark green, wore an au-
tumna aspect, and thSvariegated colors of pale
green, yellow and red, as is usually the in the
fall, after heavy frost. when they are about to
fall. In Florida our informant was told conside-
rable snow fell, previous to which the ground
was frozen in many places inch in depth
He remarked, in passing through the .,coun-
try, that the frost appeared to have. prevailed IN
streaks, in fields, portion of the crop was
cut off, while IN other parts of the field little
or no injury was done, although there were no I'M
dulatons IN the ground, the whole presenting a
similar surface
The Jacksonville (Ala.) Republican, of Tuesday,
says:-The extent of damage cannot as yet be es-
tlmated with any degree of certainty, yet we fear
1t will be immense. One gentleman, on whose
judgment we rely, has already informed us that he
thinks the corn, cotton and wheat all destroyed,
and almost the entire mast of the forest This
calamity, added to the immense disasters in the
West from floods and overfows, leaves us but a
gloomy prospect OF scarce year ahead.
The Montgomery (Ala.) Journal, of Tuesday,
says:-T There was severe frost in all this region,
on Sunday, the 18th inst. The early corn, we UNI
derstand, is generally killed on the plantations, and
the stands of cotton destroyed. Some planters of
this county have already commenced ploughng up
their cotton, preparatory to replanng as the stand
is killed. We fear there will be scarcity of seed
TO replIant the crop, should the evil prove to be
general.
The Republican says:-We understand that there
a severe frost at Garey's Ferry on the morning
of the 10Th inst and that early vegetation of all de-
scriptions is killed in East Florida.
From the Mobile Journal, April III
We have tonote change in the weather, which
may be regarded remarkable in this latitude and
which, It is apprehended, may have done great in
jury to the planting interest throughout the cotton
region. On Saturday night it became extremely
cold, and on Sunday every body was driven to fires
and Infa 10th fnrf al fbn
thermometer did not descend much below forty-five
degree at any time during the day At night, how
ever. it became sensibly colder, and yesterday
morning, frost was visible III most OF the gardens,
and IN all the low grounds in this immediate vici-
nifty, and we understand the tender vegetables in
the gardens are mostly destroyed. The general APP
prchension of consequences to the planting interest
was much increased during the day, by the receipt
from the country, of orders by telegraph, for the
purchase of cotton seed for planters use, consider
able quantities of which often sent to this mar
ket tor seed, as well as for feed and manure. At
the period at which we write, 10 p. NJ, there is
every prospect of another severe frost.
(From tho New Haven Courier, April 90
We are told that on Friday last there were six
inches of snow on Litehfeld Hills. They always
have winter in those parts till July-and in some
places they think the snow is not worth using till
the second year!
We learn from st. John, N. b., papers that the
recent cold spell of weather extended to New
Brunswick ION the 18th and 10Th, the weather
was raw and cold, with strong wind from the
westward. No snow fell, however. Ice made to
the thickness of about two inches. 1t was feared
that the early planted potato seed had sustained
much damage
GFrom the Cincinnati Gazette, April 201
The Hamilton Inteliigencv of the 10Th inst, in
speakinHof the snow the day before, notices a
remarkable coincidence, that exactly one year ago,
April 10, 1913, violent snow storm visited the
whole Western country in our latitude
MIR. Mansfield, Of the Atlas, in letter of I4th,
from Chillicobe, says =" AS far as | can observe
of the condition OF lands, the winter crops, and the
weather, ] should hnk there was a strong pros
pect Of heavy crops in the coming season. The
wheat generally looks. well. The farmers are ac-
| lively engaged in blowing"
The wheat crop in this vicinity is quite promis-
ing. We passed several fields in a ride of few
miles into the country, yesterday. which looked as
well as any owner could wish. The recent freeze,
we do not think, viii affect it inluriousy as the
weather has taken a very favorable turn-having
become warm, with ran.-Pi7ua (O) Register,
