HANGING GROVE.

J. H. Long spent last Saturday and Sunday with friends at Muncie. Miss Edie Wilson closed her school at Fair View on account of non-attendance. The Marlboro school closes to-day. To-morrow night (April 15) the Marlboro Dramatic Co. give their play at the Zard school house. Everybody invited to attend. The decision of Judge Taft in the Ohio court charging the strikers belonging to the brotherhood of locomotive engineers with conspiracy is a gross injustice to all labor societies. It is quite an easy task for a judge to put his foot upon the neck of the poor laborer and crush him to the earth. But capital can combine and reduce the laborer almost to starvation, and our courts remain as silent as the Pyramids of Egypt and our judges as inactive as the old Egyptian mummies. The time is soon to come when these grievences of the laborer must be adjusted, peqcably we hope, but it must be done. Rensselaei* ought to have a “Jack the Ripper.” Spug.
