Observations — The effects of the frost can hardly be localised, 

 as within a radius of six miles the results have varied to a most 

 remarkable degree. In one instance notably, nothing whatever was 

 damaged ; while in another case every common shrub was killed 

 to the ground, and others injured to various extents.
