a Trip TO Tybee.

The fine steamer w. T. Wheless, Captain
Gibson, made a trip to Tybee yesterday
with a party Of ladies and gentlemen. The
weather was quite stormy and cold, but
nevertheless the trip was much enjoyed by
all on board. The steamer made the run
from wharf to wharf, rounding the knoll
buoy, in an hour and twenty minutes. Our
Augusta friends who have become tired of
going no their W-orld-renowned canal can
nave a radical change by getting up an
excursion from their city to Tybee. The
opening of the Masonic Bazar will be an
opportune time for such a trip.

The Cold snap and early Vegetation,

EHeCOI0 snap and Early Vegetation
The Sudden change in the temperature on
Friday and Saturday nights was followed
by quite a heavy frost, and it was anticipated
that considerable damage had been done to
the young fruit trees and to the truck gar
dens around about the city. SO far as We
can ascertain, after diligent inquiry, no
damage was occasioned at all by the frost
on Saturday morning, but on Sunday the
farms and gardens IN the Louisville and
Augusta roads, beyond the city, were COW
cred with frost, and the damage was gen.
eral, potatoes, green peas, etc., being with
cred and blighted. At Isle of Hope, we are
informed, no damage was done to the gar
dens.
Along the Thunderbolt road there has
been very little if any damage, the peas,
potatoes and cabbage seemed hourishing,
and we understand the gardens on Lovers
lane and in that locality were equally as for
tunate. We noticed at one point that the
strawberry vines had been scorched, and
this crop, it is feared, is injured. On the
White Bluff road, however, the frost of
Sunday seemed to be severer,
and we hear of several
whose potato and pea crops have been
ruined, and that r~eplanting will be neces-
sary. This is also the case On Springfield
plantation. Some of the young peach and
apple trees were also injured, but the entire
damage is less than was apprehended.
1t was quite cool last night, but there
were little fears of q frost this morning.

The grand opening of A. r. Altmayer &

pronounced, judging from the many fair

decided success in every respect. The dis
play of new novelties and Paris hats and
bonnets was rich and elegant. The house
was literally packed all day, and credit was
rejected on all connected with the estab-
ishment for the manner in which every
thing was conducted. The opening will
continue to-day and tomorrow, and those
who wish to see q really beautiful display
Of new goods should not fell to visit the
