FROM HANGING GROVE.

Measles are still raging in Hanging Grove. A very large oats crop has been put in this Spring. Much larger than usual. The Wheat crop is not so badly injured as many farmers had supposed. There will probaly be a half crop. Ida Parker returned from LaPorte last week, accompanied by her grandmother, Mrs. Iven, we are glad to have her with us once more. ' ■ i A Sabbath school has been organized at the Parker school house, with Mr. Elias Hammerton as superintendent. So far it has proved very profitable. Not long ago, Parker Overton found a den of seven young wolves, and it was not a very good day for wolves either. The 6th of April being the 63rd birth day of Mrs. J. M. Gwin, her children celebrated the occasion with a surprise party to Mr. and Mrs Gwin and presented them each with a fine easy-chair.
