DkST SAVINGS LIFE. liritT7 in Knrth Carolina. I A BOSTON LANDMARK HISTORY OF A FAMOUS OLD ELM DESTROYED BY THE WIND. Celebrated Tree, Believed to Settlement HmMut--- of the city, the Great Storm of 180. Feb.

15, 1870, was a sad day for loyal historians in Boston, for the newspapers announced the next day that at iibout 7 o'clock the previous evening old elm on Boston Cemraon had been destroyed by a great storm which swept over the city at that time. So many eulogies, both oral and written were delivered on this most ancient of Boston's landmarks, and it was realized that a connecting link with the remote past was gone forever. It is not known when the tree began grow, but an old Boston tradition that the wife of Thomas Hancock, eminent merchant, who was Lydia Henchman before her marriage, claimed that her grandfather, Hezekiah Henchman, planted the tree when he a boy. This would have made the lust "CO years old at the time of destruction. It is probable that some ui uu persons on record as being publicly executed on Boston Common looked on fair world for the last time when standing beneath its branches, for it was one of the largest trees, if not the largest, in the town, and it stood oil outskirts, and also in 1722 it must have been" a prominent object in Boston for Bonner's map of the town, published' in that year, shows it as a feature.

lu 1S25 the first recorded measurement of the old elm showed its dimensions to be as follows: Height, Go feet; circumference, 21 feet 8 inches at feet inches from the ground, and extreme diameter of the branches was SG feet. At this time it was said the tree that "this pride of our Common is pronounced by judges to be as handsome in fprm as it is large in size venerable in age, and it may Je worth the remark, notwithstanding all buffeting it has received from storms and hurricanes for more than century, its original beauty and symmetry have not been impaired, although it has at times lost many of its branches." The tree was accurately measured by city engineer of Boston in 18T5, and was found that it was considerably larger than in its height heins hgured at seventy-five feet. This showed that it "was still gro-wing in its extreme old agxv The first Serious damage thcMree received was in 1S3, when the largest of lifabs was so rent asunder that three branches rested on the ground, at much cost and labor they were replaced iu their former positions and held together by iron rods and belts. great gale in June, 1S00, injured tree to such an extent that its former symmetry was destroyed, and ft time the cavity in the trunk was. filled with several loads of material.

one of the branches which were torn off at the time 190 rings were counted, which indicated tlie great age the tree. The opening of the centennial year of republic, 1S7G, found the tree alive, decrepit, and it would probably have been decorateu on Evacuation day and tlie Fourth of July, but, as stated at the beginning'' of this article. Feb. 13 saw its destruction. The old elm fell at 7:17 tfcloe- in the evening, its trunk pointing toward the Turk Street church, and the force of the fall shattered the trunk, while the branches were tft-rj m- 1 rection.

The melancholy new, spread branches were scattered in- every di- like wildfire through the city, ana soon, depite the storm, tne ianeii mwuarui srrronnded bv relic hunters. Arm with saws, hatchets and knives, they quickly detached pieces of the branclie.4 to preserve as souvenirs. Persons were seen iu tbe theaters. laden with boughs, and it was a common sisht that evening to see men En the streets carrying limbs several feet in length and as large around as a stovepipe. Much of the tree was made into veneer, and one book at least of local history- has on its back cover- a large veneer from the tree, bearing- on its face a lifelike engraving of the same.

passed the old and, Boston mourned for its passing. Dr. Jerome V. C. Smith, mayor of the city in 1.854.

his interest in tlie old elm by having the tree eare-frllv uruned and and he caused to be placed around it an ornamental iron fence, octagonal in shape. On the entrance gate was attached an oval tablet bearing the following inscription: TTTE OLD ELiM. This tree has been startrling here for nn unknown period. It is bt-lleved to have before the settlement of Boston. being full prown in 1722; exhibited marks 1792 and was nearly destroy ed bv a Ftorm in 1S32.

Protected by an Iron Inclosure in 1854. J. V. C- SMITH. Mayor Soon after the falling of the old elm a vouncr tree of the same species was planted in the center of the iuclosure, and today it has attained a large and rturdy growth.

Coming generations of Bostonians may be familiar with a second old elm on Boston Common, but it will always be the first old elm whirh witnessed, very Dossibly, the fl rat sfttlompnt of Puritan Boston in 1030.
