took him to the depo, and a young sur

Curious Facts about the Presidents.

Curious Facts about the Presidents.
The Boston Transcript is great on sta
tistics. Its last effort in this line is the
compilation of some curious coincidenfs
noticeable in contemplating the names
and lives of the first seven Presidents of
the United States-W Washington, John
Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Munroe, John
Quincy Adams, and jackson. We quote
some Of the most striking Of these:
| Four of the seven were from Virginia.
Two of the same name were from Massa-
chusetts, and the seventh from Tennessee.
All but one were sixty-six years old or
leaving Office, having served two terms;
and one Of these, who served butone terms
would have been sixty-six years Of age at
the end of another. Three of, the seven.
died on the 18th day of July, and two IF
them on the same day and year. Two of
them were on the subcommittee of three
that drafted the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, and these two died on the same
day and year, and on. the anniversary of
the Declaration of Independence, and just
half century from the day of the Decla-
ration. The names of three Of the seven
end in son, yet neither of these transmitted
his name 10 SON. Ii. respect to the names
of all, it may be said in conclusion: The
initials of two of the seven were the same
and tie initials ofstili two others were
the same. The remaining one, who stands
alone in this particular, stands alone
also in the admiration and love of his eoun-
trymen and of. the civilized world-W
ington. Of the first FIVE, only one had a
son, and that son was also President.

The Blue Bird.


When winters cold tempests and SHOWS are no more
Green meadows and brown furrow'd fields reap
pearing,
The fishermen hauling their shad to the shore,
And cloudcleaving geese to the lakes are steering
When first the lone butterfly fits on the wing,
When red glow the naples, so fresh and 80 pleasing
O, then comes the Blue Bird, the herard of spring
And halls with his warblings the charms of the
season.
Then loud Tipping frogs make the marshes to ring;
Then warm glows the sunshine, and fine is the
weather;
The blue woodland flowers just beginning to spring,
And spicewood and sassafras budding together
0, then, to your gardens We housewives repair,
Your walks border up, SOW and plant at your leisure;
The Blue Bird win chant from his box such an air
That all your hard tolls will seem truly pleasurei
He fits through the orchard, he visits each tree,
The red-fowering peach and the apples sweet
blossoms;
He snaps up destroyers wherever they be; \.
And seizes the caitifs that lurk in their bosoms;
he drags the vile grub from q IL corn it devours,
The worms from their webs where they riot and
welter
His song and his services freely are ours,
And all that he-asks is--in summer shelter.
The ploughman is pleased when he CLEANS IN his train
Now searching the furrows,-now mounting to
cheer him;
The gardner delights in his sweet simple strain,
And leans on his spade to survey and to hear him
The slow lingering school boys forget they'll be child.

One Of the most singular accidents, end
ing in sudden death, we ever heard of, oc-
cured on the Mad River road, Monday night
last. The night (Pittsburgh) train going out
of Iiilin, conductor Osborn, in collecting
fare, accosted man who was alone on a seat.
In drawing his money from his pocket he
let fall some silver change and stopped over
to pick it up. While in this posture one of
Aliens self-cock;ng pistols dropped from
side pocket of his coat, and the hammer,
striking %pon the edge of the seat, caused the
PISTOL TO explode. The ball entered the left
side of the man and pierced to the heart,
causing almost instant death. He straight
ened up, and gave one or two surges, and
uttering no word was gone.
The affair was of so shocking a nature as
to cause much excitement. The train was
stopped and run back to Tiffin, where the
unfortunate man was lifted from the cars
and borne to the court house for post NOR
tenn examination. His name was John
Esch. lie was constable, and having ar
rested man in Oregon, for stealing, had
been to Tiffin to place him in Jail. Return
ing home the accident happened, and his
wife and five children are left to mourn his
sudden death,-ISan. Reg.
