The Trips To-MoRRow.- This hot season
any chance to escape the city dust and heat will
be largely taken advantage of; and, indeed, if 1t
be In snch shape as to offer a chance of relara-

In the heat Of the city, it is a public blessing
ror THIS reason we are disposed to direct public
attention TO The two excursions, leaving this city
to- morrow. The Powhatan goes to Norfolk and

and cheaper trip, and one that draws so sparing-

are persuaded she will carry down to the fresh
AR and salt water Of Blakistone's Island, large
number OF our city denizens. They will find
ample and excellent accommodations at the pa
vlllon on the Island and will doubtless come
cdck on Sunday night refreshed and ready TO
start on another week with more zest than had
they remained cooped up in the heated city

prices for their sugar and flour. This is unplea-

though they frequently have to increase the
amount OF their expenditures, seldom have the
pleasure OF adding to their receipts The prices

labor seldom and when 1t does the change is
