EDITOR RECORD: fse by procla-
nation published in your two last
issuee that we are to have an cleo
ton on the 25th inst, to determine
whether our county seat shall or
shall not be removed from its pres
ent location to a place called "Cen-
ter" situate somewhere north Of
Big Creek, in the cedar breaks of the
hills of said stream. Now, this re-
moval question is one that has been
long talked Of by. the discontents Of
our county and those who do not
take a second thought on the sub
iect, and who pay but little or none
of the taxes incident to q removal;
and in this case the cry has been,
nTo the CENTER" It has been the
watch-word and propelling power
bv which a sufficient number of sub
scribers were obtained to have this
election ordered, and, as ! am very
credibly informed, a great many
names were obtained to their peti-
ton for removal, under the impress
sion that it was to 60 to the center
of the county, to be determined by
commissioners appointed for that
purpose, which | am sure would
never touch near the spot called
"Center"--not even north Of Straw
berry river. By the way, if the
center of the county, all things con-
sidered, should be determined the
seat of justice for our county, we
have no besitancy in saying that
Pougbkeepsie would be the place,
which IS some five miles south of the
place for which the election is or
dered; and I will further say that
at least one-fourth more Of the legal
voters of the county live south Of
an east and west line running
through the county by Poughkeep-
sic than there is north of the same,
and that not over One-tOurJh OF tne
voters of the county live north of a
similar line by "Center." There
fore, it is very plain to be seen that
it would be to the disadvantage and
prejudice of at least three-fourths OF
the citizens of the county to move
the county seat north Of Strawberry
river, not saying anything about
the enormous expense and another
ten years high taxation for pubic
buildings; and furthermore, the prl-
vate expenses of the citizens who
have business at that place would
amount to a big, round sum in hlr-
ing guides and old pioneers OF that
part Of the country to pilot and d.
rect them to the memorial place
called Center" and back to the
settlements again. =

weight THAI is to be put upon the ropes or
chains, or to any required velocity.
A jointed folding frame, 1, is hinged to
the top of the frame, A, and supports two
rollers at its outer end.
In case of emergency the washstand is
rolled to some convenient place, say a Win
dow or o balcony, and If time permits the
folding frame, l, is made to project over
the window sill or balcony. The end OF ell
ther of the ropes wound on the drum is un-
heoked, and the imperiled person passes
the rope first ever one of the loose pulleys
in the jointed frame, then passes it around
his body, hooks it, and let's himself down
easily and safely. BY this time, if there are
other inmates exposed, a second one un-
hooks the end of the other rope, and also
lowers himself to the ground, and in so
doing causes the drum to wind up the first
rope, ready torepeat the operation III favor
of third occupant, an so on. Every person
descending winds one of the ropes on the
drum. and thus prepares the machine fer
another. Should it be required, a iiue with
a weight at one end may be provided i'll

one end to q hook on the pendulum rod.
