Rensselaer Union, Volume 7, Number 48, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 August 1875 — State Exposition. [ARTICLE]

State Exposition.

More than usual interest is manifested in the coming Indiana Exposition and State Fair. Tl\e voluminous correspondence in connection therewith ; the large proportion of exhibition space already secured; the number of stalls and pens secured for stock ; the extensive advertising and encouraging influence of the press of the State, give assurance that the Twenty-third Annual Exposition, under the auspices of the Board of Agriculture, will excel all former efforts. A remarkable feature connected with the Exhibition of 1874 was that every department made a good showing—the machinery department being the lightest in representation. It is a gratification now to able to state, four weeks previous to the opening day, that more than double the amount of space is applied for and secured for machinery in motion. No pains or expense will be spared by the managers to insure success. Seventy new stalls are now completed to accommodate the increasing interest in the stock department. Two cai loads of fine paintings are on the way from the East, to add to the art department. The l argest and moat magnificent Paintfog ever exhibited; and, judging from indications, the exhibition in the. horticultural department will excel that of last season.

The display in the agricultural department by counties, we have reason to believe, will be excellent, although the inclement weather during the harvest season was discouraging. A series jof evening meetings have been arranged, to interest agriculturists with lectures from prominent speakers, followed by discussion: Wednesday, September 22d—subjects: Floriculture and Horticulture; address by Peter Barry, of N. Y., and Parker Earle, of 111. Thursday, September 23d—subject: Grain and Grass Growing; address by Prof. C. V. Riley, of Mo., and Prof. Olcott, of Ind. Wcdhesday, September 29th—subject; Live Stock, Cattle and Horses; address by Hon. J. R. Dodge, of the agricultural department, and W. R. Duncan, of Illinois. / Thursday, September 30th—subject; Hogs, Sheep and Poultry; address by Prof. Shortridge, of the Agricultural College, aud Dr. A. C. Stephenson, of Ind. Very Respectfully,

Not long ago a little four year old child was brought to the Surgical Institute already black in the face from strangulation caused by the lodgment of a bean in the trachea (windpipe). It was a question of five minutes with life or death. .Quickly and neatly an incision was made into the windpipe and the bean removed, bat alas! the little one had ceased breathing and was virtually dead. Quickly a rubber tube was inserted in the windpipe, the lungs filled and by means of artificial respiration in a few moments the anguish of the parents was changed to joy at seeing their beloved one resume natural breathing. The wound in the throat healed up in a few days and the child was as well as ever.— Indianapolis Herald.
