FACTS ABouT THE PREsIDENTs.-Some one who
has taste fer searching out the curious coin
cidences Of history, has gathered together the
following singular facts in connection with the
Presidents Of our Republic:
Four Of the first seven were from Virginia.
Two of the same name we're from Mass, and
che seventh vas from Tennessee. All but one
were Sc years old on leaving office, having serv-
ed two terms, and one of them, who had served
but ono term, would have been 81 years Of age,
At the end of another. Three OF the seven died
on the 4th day OF Jay and two of them on the
zane day and year. Two of them were on the
subcommittee OF three that drafted the Decla-
ration of Independence, and these two died on
he same day and year, and on the anniversary
Of the Declaration of independence, and inst
half century from the day of the Declaration.
The names OF three of the seven ended in son,
vetneither of these transmitted his name to a
son In respect to the name of all it may be
said, in conclusion, the initials Of two of the sew
en- were the same; and Of two others, that they
we're the same, and the initials of still two 9th
ers, that they were the same. The remaining
one who stands alone in this particular, stands
alone also in the love and admiration of his
countrymen and the civilized world Washing
ton! OF the first five only one had son, and
that son was also President.

is in his recognizing the Free State Legislature.
