POKURU.

(Own Corespondent.) Another veurenjoyable evening ' was held d/tlie local school room last Fridrfy evening. The weather wajrentirely favourable for the hoUtfug of a good dance. For i tb€ first time, we had the sexes jtffmevcnly balanced,the gentlemen I far out-numbering the ladies. ; | The supper arrangements were ■ • in capable hands, and it was 2 : | a.m. before the gathering thought i i of breaking up. Music was sup- - | plied by Miss Ramsay and Mr i Johns, assisted by two talented f I accordeon players from Pirongia. i ; The foolish practical joker - : has I'ounrl his way over to Rake-

puku. A bag , v with four occu- f pants had proceeded but a short • distance on its homeward journey ! when the front wheel suddenly parted company with, the vehicle, and the wl me paitv were precipitated rath. r nnexpeett diy to the giouncl. O 1 inspection being made it was found mat some individual ha.: i.’.ken the cap ou the wheel and leA in the buggy. Fortunately, no one was hurt. A start has been made by Mr Bickerstaff with the erection of a residence for Mr Clements, who is shortly to take up his residence here.

Messrs Wood and Johns have signified their intention of giving the children of this and adjoining districts a lecture with the popular lantern, presented to the Te Awamutu school committee recently by Messrs Lawson and Swain. At present the roads are too bad to expect the children to turn out.

Messrs House and Daking have presented the piano committee with a handsome cover for the piano. This has supplied a much-felt want, and is very greatly appreciated.
