   Presentation - David Shattuck, the popular Conductor on the Midland Branch between this place and DeRuyter, was recently presented with a beautiful Conductor's lantern, by some of the prominent citizens of DeRuyter. It was a testimonial well deserved, and shows that his efforts to do his duty are appreciated. Those who were instrumental in making the beautiful gift will long be remembered by him for their kindly act, not so much on account of it's intrinsic value, as for the sentiments of good will conveyed by its presentation.
