! ed to make alt necessary Arrangements for
1 the celebration, and issue a programme
with the least possible delay. sEt
Nothing could be more appropriate
as an object for the City of Indian
apolis than that contained in the reso-
luton appearing first above; but the
object of the picnic and celebration
being arranged for that day for this
city, is equally appropriate and i'm
portant to the citizen soldiers of Van
derburgh County; as well as the citizens
in general, and especially such as
have lost friends in the army IF our
liberal-hearteda people will cordially
cooperate, with the soldiers-and we
feel sure they villa large find may
be realized on that day to aid in the
erection of a monument to- the me-
mory of deceased soldiers and sailors
that all may JUS tly feel proud Of
-FRUIr PRESERVING. One import
ant invention, which of late years has
been put intoFsaoeessfa PpeFation, is
that OF fruit preserving. In many
cities west we notice that fruit-pre-
serving houses have been erected and
prove very successful. AS our peo-
pie have very progressive spirit, and
in view Of the fact that Evansville
should not, in consideration of the
wealth of its citizens, and the COM
ahee1al imp srtaHoe Ofsthe city be be-
hind any city in the State, we copy
the following from the New Albany
Ledger, for the consideration Of some
of our enterprising citizens:
Some years ago Professor B. N. Nyce, of
Cleveland, OHIO, devised plan for the
preservation of fruit, vegetables, meats,
&C., by which they could be kept fresh for
a very considerable length of time. Since
then fruit-preserving houses on his plan
have been erected in various parts of the
country, and have succeeded admirably.
A convention of those interested in this
process was held at Cincinnati on the "a
inst, at which a number of persons were
presents land among them Mr.. John 7
Monsch of this city. At this meetingspeci
mems of apples, pears, and grapes of last
years crop were shown, all in perfect
state of preservation and tasting as fresh
as when picked. Butter was exhibited
which had been put, in the Newport pre-
serving house last June, fresh, sweet and
hard. Eggs can be kept perfectly fresh
as we'll as butter.
Such an enterprise would no doubt
pay handsomely in our city, and prove
an important one. In ordinary sea-
sons an abundance of fruit is grown
in this vicinity, but its preservation
has always proven difficult matter.
