FROM HANGING GROVE.

Health generally poor and the roads are very bad. The teachers of Hanging Grove held another Institute, at the Parker School IlQUpe last Saturday. They ate doing good Vork winter, and the schools are.getting very well. Farmers are a! I,.terry busy gathering corn, although the cbm is very poor, this fall. ~ • .1 !’• J J. M. Gwin hap just erected a new, barn, which adds greatly to the looks ot his premises. James Parkinson has just btfilt a new houce. James Johnson and Charley Russell are numbered with the sick. Alfred Thompson is (having some rock blasted on his farm near Pleasant Ridge!. We think this is a good idea. George Parkinson is tilihg his corncrib with six inch tile, ive wonder if this answers the same purpose as tiling the land would, if it will, we think it is very much the cheapest. It is reported that Thomas Randle is the happiest man in Gillam township, because he is the father of a little son, but we don’t blame him for being happy. Honey.-
