.(From Our Own Correspondent-) The coffee supper and entertainment announced to take place in the Okaramio .school room on Friday evening last turned out a great success in every ■yyay. Of as oiir readers know, the day was vary wet and stormy, but as the- day -advanced dark clouds and appeared,?, spd , the anxipps faces of . those, ladies, who had kindly prepared 'so' many' good •> thihgi'-'to -add ; pleasure .and,happiness to others, once more began to put on their usual brightness," and’ it would be a very sorrowful heart that would not, or could not, rejoice ; to see so many people jopg, .kffg theirhomes after the toils of the day, to j om ’ their fellow : wbrkmeh 1 and ■ friends to assist in a good; Work and add pleasure and" happiness, to ;tho,sp, around them. Of course, as the evening advanced the moon, ascended in ah its brightness, and added new lustre to ah around, and by the timenamed for the entertainment to commence the schoolroom; was crowded.
