The following from the Saranac Local
has reference to Prof. +. +. Converse; ION
Tuesday last, the Principal of our schools
was pleasantly reminded that he had reach
ed another of those mile stones along life's
journey, known as birthdays" Upon re-
turning to his boarding place, after evening
service, he found the house illuminated
from cellar to garret, and pleasant COM
pany assembled, several of whom greeted
him with choice recitations, particularly
appropriate to the occasion; these were fol-
lowed by some finely executed vocal music,
arranged expressly for the event. Mr..
Converse, being taken completely by sur
prise, could hardly find words to express
his thanks, but finally recovered so as to be
able to partake of the. bountiful refresh
ments which would have done justice to a
first class caterer. After the repast an
hour was spent i'm social converse (no puns)
interspersed with music, both vocal and in
strumental, parting song was sung, and
the party wishing Mr.. G. many happy re-
turns of the occasion, separated for the
evening, thinking 1t would be well If birth
days came every week."
