nearly all day at Augusta, Georgia, and during
the night the frost was 50 severe that oak-leavei
were turned black, and the bark of young tree;
peeled of as if from exposure to flames. Th'
damage done to the crops in that region ma!
be readily imagined. Wheat was as forward
as in Ohio in mid-June yet, to a large degree
it fortunately escaped destruction.
From accounts in the newspapers, and from
letters of correspondents says the N. Y. hide

have been western and northern New York
