FACTS ASULT THE Presidents.

The Boston Transcript presents to its
readers the following compilation Of curious
condolences in the names and lives Of the
first seven Presidents of the United States
-Wasbit gtoo. John Adams. Jefferson Mad
ison, Monroe, John Quincy Adams, and jack
son.
-Four of the seven were from Virginia
Two OF the same name were from NIassachu-
sets, ana the seventh was from Tennessee
&l but one we're sixty six years old on leav'
ing Office, having served two terms. and one
been sixty-siz years Of age at the erd of an
other. Three Of the seven died on the 4th
day Of July, and two of them on the same
day and year Two OF them were on the
sub committee OF three that drafted the De-
ciaration of Independence. aud these two died
on the same day and year, and on the ami
versary Of the Declaration The names Of
three Of the sereu end in son, yet neither Of
these transmitted his name to a son. In res
pect to the names of ALL it may be said in
conclusion:
The initials Of two OF the seven were the
same---ard of two others that they were the
same and the initials Of still two others were
the same The remaining one who stands
alone in this particular stands alone also in
the admiration and love of his countrymen and
Of the civilized wprld-Was hipgton. OF the
Grst five, only one had son, aud that son was
also President
Another curious fact may be mentioned il
this connection. 1t is, that neither Of the
Presidents who had a son was elected for .
second term
