Gilbert, one the composer of the music,
the other the suthor of the amusing
operatta az. II. 8. Pinsfore," have ar
rived In New York, and are already IA
vorites in literary and social circles.
Both acknowledge their great surprise at
the unprecedented popularity Of ''Pina-
FORE" 1t having had longer run on the
boards of Great Britain than that Of any
other native author. Gilbert says, "It il
rather hard when one has done for years
serious work, to have frothy trifle like
this exceed all his other success" while
Sullivsn's oratorios and classical compo-
sitions to which he gave his best work,
Is overshadowed by the popularity of
Piuafore, some Of whose merriest melo-
dies he composed under the pain Of seri-
Gus illness. They expect to stay about
three months in New York, and then Wis.,
1t other cities. Gilbert is going to see
shat his plays, "Thial by jury" the $50

LAGRANGE.
LA9RANeE, Nov. 8, 1870.

LA9RANeK, Nov. 8, 1870.
A most enjoyable social event took
place at the residence of Mr.. Calvin En-
sign, in Penfield. ON Friday, Oct. 24th.
It was intended IS . surprise TO Mr.. En-
sign to celebrate his birthday, and 1t was
indeed, q surprise. He was absent in
the morning and on his return found rel
atives and friends had taken possession
Of his castle to the number OF 81, all
prepared to make 1t an occasion to be
treasured up in the memory.
The guests were in high spirits, jubi-
liant in the anticipation Of how their
friend would feel on his return. At
about 10 o'clock he came, and his amaze
ment was great. At first he could not
solve the puzzling enigmas why 40 many
of his friends should come on one day,
but at last the truth dawned upon him
that this was the 39th anniversary Of his
advent into the world, and pleased and
happy man was he to realize that he
should be thus remembered.
Mrs. Ensign had been notified Of the
intentions of the friends, lit seems she
