A GOOD WORD FOR MIR BALDWIN.

GOOD WORD FOR MIR BALDWIN.
 The following from the Enquirer, we publish by request: It may not be gen. erally understood, that by act of the last Legislature, the tax collector has to be elected by ballot, the same as other town officers. We want to speak good word in behalf of A. s. Baldwin, who is col lecting the taxes for the fourth year, and as figures and statistics show, has been the most thorough and efficient collector we have had in years and has saved the town good many dollars as nearly all the selectmen acknowledge, both demo- crats and republicans. He is a wide awake, public spirited citizen, and with all his disabilities accomplishes more than a good many able bodied men.
 There is not business enough in so small place to support watchmaker, with sharp competition all around him, in New Milford, Woodbury, Morris and Litchffeld, to say nothing of the peram- bulating clock and watch tinkers SCOUT ing the country. We are assured by him that the business does not amount to 70 cents day on the average through the year, though good in summer when the boaIders are here, but very dull in win ter.
 He cannot go out on the street and en- gage in other occupations like other men to increase his income but makes the best tax collector we have ever had. He is centrally located and can most always be found at home, and it would seem as though public policy, to say nothing of philanthrophy, should continue him in the important and responsible position he now holds, regardless of partisan poli- tics. He is so thoroughly familiar with the business that he discovered over a dozen errors at glance in looking over the grand list as completed by the board of relief and had them corrected. It will be hard to find a better man than A. s. Baldwin for tax collector for the town of Washington.-[Ju Justice.

floats because it is lighter to the square
inch than wafer. Place water in an
ordinary washhOwl and remove the
plug and IL viii be observed that in
passing out the water forms a circular
reaction. Air, being a liquid, does the
same In passing either upwards or
d~oWnwards; hence the funnel-shaped
spout Of the cyclone center. When
two immense bodies Of air coming from
different directions meet the only egress
is upward and sideways, and in pass
ing upwards it forms the funnel the
same as water passing out Of Il wash
bowl downwards. The theory that a
cyclone forms a vacuum is absurd.
Withdraw air from a glass jar with an
air pump. and n feather within the
vacuum formed will drop with the
same velocity as lead, or, on the other
hand, YOU can compass air until it is
heavier to the square inch than wood,
in which case wood will float in the
air, The lifting power of a cyclone is
caused, first, by the compression or
density Of the air, and second, by its
velocity. Combining the power of
density wI,h that Of velocity. which
occurs at the center or funnel, no pow
err can resist it. The feeling of suffO-
cation or difficulty in breathing when
neal the track Of n cyclone is caused
from the compression Of air.
