A HoosIER BABY We saw on last Saturday, q
child three years Of age which weighed hun
dred pounds, and measured around the chest irtySiI
inches This monster baby was born within three
miles of this place-is healthy, well proportional and
still growing We received from his mother the fol-
lowing facts regarding this most extraordinary child
At birth he scarcely of usual size and weight,
and for some months was quite sickly and grew but
little. His health, however, becoming good he coma
menced growing and fattening, until now, at three
years of his age he weighs 10 pounds and measures
as large around the chest arm thigh as an ordinary
sized man. He is intelligent. playful, and active be-
yond what would be supposed and taken altogether
is the most surprising luss naura we have ever wit.
