RIVERLEA.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT. The breaking-up ceremony in connection with the local school will take place on Friday evening, when an excellent programme is to be put on by the pupils, including the cantata “Soot and, the Fairies,” by the senior pupils, and £u short act, entitled “The Three Bears,” by the juniors. There will also be several other items, and after the concert dancing will be indulged in for the remainder of the evening. There will, of course, be the distribution of the prizes for the year also. The supper is being provided by the local ladies, and that is sufficient guarantee of its excellence. Given anything like a fine evening a bumper “house” is assured. For their items the children have been practising assiduously, and evidently know their parts to perfection. PERSONAL. Some little time ago Mr W. Hey met with a nasty accident owing to his horse falling and rolling on him, resulting in an injury to his collarbone. I am pleased to say he is now recovered. On Tuesday afternoon Bertie Gargan sustained a broken arm when returning home from school. It appears that he and his brother Ernest were riding home together on the one horse, when the animal, shying, unseated both, and Bertie, falling underneath, had his right arm broken above the wrist. The injury was attended to by Dr. Hocken, of Kaponga, and the young sufferer is doing as well as can be expected.
