The “Skwirt”  Photographed—Baldwin, Photographist, 3d st., north side, near Main, conceived the notion yesterday when the steam fire engine was brought to the corner of 3d and Main, to take a photograph of it, and the crowd which surrounded it.  No sooner decided upon than he brought his “institution” to bear upon them, and the result was that he succeeded in taking two excellent pictures of the machine and the crowd of curious men and boys who surrounded it.  We have seen these pictures, and we can readily recognize many of our citizens who were present on the occasion.  The photographs are on small plates, but we learn that Mr. B. intends reproducing them on large size plates.  They will form an attraction at his door.
