RARE BIRTH DAYS.

Under this caption the Portsmouth
Journal lately chronicled the death OF an
esteemed citizen Of that place, who was
born on the goth of February, 1880, and
consequently had but eighteen returns Of
his birth lay in his long life. The pub.
Iication Of this fact has elected many Gu.
rious circumstances Of similar charac.

this city every day who was born in ITO,
and yet he has had but nineteen returns
of his birthday. Two public officers Of
this city, whose duties are the same, were
both born on the 29,h Of February. One
of our friends the President OF an lnsu.
rance Company in State street, was born
on the goth Of February, and his eldest
erandchilJ was born on the same date.
Why not call a meeting on the Goth of
February, the next leap year, and invite
the attendance Of those whose birthdays
are not an annual occurrence.-Boston
