A Kerr's Creek correspondent writes as follows: - We are gradually losing all our old residents. Mr. Bronger has been promoted to take charge of the Wilbetree public school, on the Mudgee side. A few friends decided to have the last night with Mr. Bronger on Kerr's Creek, and to give him some little reminder of his long residence here. At the invitation of Mr. and Mrs. Dellow and friends they all met on Saturday evening, Feb. 20th. During the evening Mr. Bronger was presented, on behalf of his late pupils, with a silver match box, and Mr. and Mrs. Bronger, on behalf of some of their friends, with a silver cake basket and pickle jar. The notice was so short that many had not the opportunity of joining in the farewell. We wish them a safe journey and a happy home7
