OLD RECoLLEcTIoNs An almost octogena-
rian of Boston. who was in town last week, says
he recollects the building of all the public edifces
but two, which have been built in Boston for a
hundred years. He says that before 1888, there
were no hackney coaches or hand carts in the
city, and in 1856, only two stage routes from it,
one to New York, and one to Salem He remem-
bers an adventure of a Boston merchant going
to New York on horseback, with his saddle bags
full of money and provisions. Stopping on the
way to take a lunch, he dlsmounted; his horse
got loose and ran; he after him. However, the
horse proved the best racer, and was soon out of
sight, and roaming in the forest. Following in
the direction of the animal, the merchant had the
satisfaction of finding his saddle bags quietly de-
pending from the limb of tree much as another
limb. seized Absalom. His horse he did not find
for three months; and when at last found, he was
very fat. The saddle was on but the girth was
deeply denied in the belly, owing to the quantity
of fat the horse had laid on. We call that pref
ty good horse tofy-Greefeld Republic.

SINGULAR OccURRENcE.-A few days since,
two slaves, belonging to Robert A. Mayo, OF Pow
hatan, about one mile below Richmond, were drown.
ed IN James river. The Southern Era states that
they came to their death in The following singular
manner:
they had taken dog down to the river, with
the intention Of drowning him. When tbey reached
the water, Of the twain went into itwiih the
lmals and, Q drown hn more ef1ectually, got upon
HIS back. The dog attempted TO escape from The
hands OF the boy, and while doing so, they got Deco
er INTO the water, where the dog got away leaving
the boy TO his tate. The other negro on the bank
seeing MS comrade about to drown, plunged in to his
assistance, and vainly essayed 10 rescue him. They
both persisted BY drowning, while the brute safely
reached the shore, and went back TO the house. =
