AUToBIoGRAPHICAL RECoLLECTIoNs. By
the late Charles Robert Leslie, r. A. Edited,
with PREDATORY Essay on Leslie as an Artist,

Tom Taylor Esq. Tom Taylor, with an or
binary topic, could hardly fail TO make an
attractive book and, with Leslie the artist

must be sufficiently erich and rare" to secure
large success This book has just made its
appearance, and it is republished by Ticknor
q Fields from early sheets of the English
edition sent to them from London. The
volume has fine portrait Of Leslie. The first
40 pages are filed with the autobiography,
winch tells us quite as much of the many
superior and distinguished personages with
whom the artist was acquainted as of himself.
Personal recordsare always entertaining, even
when they are not so bright and rich as these.
The remainder of the book consists of extracts
irom Leslies Correspondence, carefully ar.
ranged and connected together. Charles
Robert Leslie was an American, although born
while his parents were in London. Most of his
mature life was spent in England, and his sister,
Eliza, miss Leslie" as we call her, made her
first attempts at authorship by aid of his
counsel and encouragement, while he was
living in London more than thirty years ago.

Two YoKEs OF FAT OXEN were observed
standing in front of GATES meat market, cor
ner of Main and Exchange streets, on Satur-
day. They attracted great attention on ac-
count of their unusual size and fairness, caused
by good living upon the rich prairies of ILL
nois, where corn is cheap. These oxen have
since been slaughtered by Mr. Gates, so those
who are particularly fond of beef, and can rel
ish an extra nice steak or roast for fourth of
July dinner, will do well to call at his market
tomorrow or next day, and get some OF it be-
fore it is gone.

MECHANICS BASE BALL CLUB-High Ball
rs. Low BaH.-Since the recent adoption of the
high ball game by the Mechanics Club some
of the best of the players, who were opposed
to the ruling out of low balls, separated from
the old club, and have played by themselves.
Saturday afternoon the rival forces played
game, one side using high and the other the
low balls. The result was decided victory
by the latter. 1t is probable that the rules of
the club will be revised, and the parties play
tremendously together hereafter, and perhaps
before the summer passes away we may wit
ness some good match games with other clubs.
1t strikes us that this custom of playing low
balls is running the good old game pretty near
ly into the ground.

THE STORM IN BosroN-Loss of the Great
Elm.- The city Of Boston was visited, Friday
evening, by severe and destructive storm
The chief injury was done to the great, histori-
cal elm on Boston common. The iron band
placed, some years ago, around its limbs, was
snapped, and large portion of the tree was
carried away, injuring the trunk SO seriously
that it is doubtful if this venerable relic of the
past can be preserved. Dr. n. B. Shurtleff, in
brief notice of the disaster, published in the
Journal, says
The three has associations connected with
Its history which will always keep it in re-
membrance. During the revolutionary strup
giles of America this tree was one of the places
OF constant resort of the sons of liberty, who
frequently caused it to be illuminated with
lanterns ON evenings of rejoicing and on festa
occasions; and it also served the purpose of
exhibitions OF popular feeling and Indignation
1or many has been the tory who has been hung
in effigy from Its branches. Very near this
tree occurred the first duel in Boston, between
Benjamin Woodbridge and Henry Phillips. so
graphically described by Mr.. Sargent in his
dealings with the dead :" and beneath its
branches have been enacted many scene of
youlnlul VllOr, III days that have been long
past on the holidays of election and indepen.
dence. 1t would be difficult to affix to the
tree even approximate age. 1t has been known
as Tar back as tradition can 60 and is repre-.
scented on the oldest map of the town, known
to exist. 1t is reasonable to believe that it
was growing before the first settlement of the
peninsula
Many citizens visited the common when
the disaster was generally known, and secured
portions of the fallen limbs to preserve among
the choice relics of the olden time. In other
parts of the common serious damage was done
to the trees, some of them being dragged out
by the roots. The rear wall of Dir. Gannett's
new church was blown down, and large mum.
Der of chimnies were jolted from their places.
The storm was especially severe in Boston
harbor, and serious losses of life are feared.
just previous to the gale, ten or twelve small
boats were seen coming up the harbor, but
when the gale subsidized only two or three were
visible. 1t is known that one boat, containng
five persons, was eapszed off Fort Independ.
once, and that four Of the number were drown
ed ; and it is feared that others shared the
same fate

TEMPLEToN.- Martin and Bates of this
city visited Iempleton, Saturday, to examine
some cattle belonging to Mr. Frederick Par
ker. They killed two, but found no evidences
of contagious disease, and probably it has new
er made its appearance In that town.-The
citizens OF rempleton are preparing to raise a
splendid liberty pole, in anticipation of the
fourth of July. 1t is made from two trees,
grown in Tenlpleton, to be crowned by the i'm
memorial rooster at an elevation of 1856 feet
from the ground They propose to have a
civic and fremen's celebration on that day.
