   A Model conductor. - Among the many courteous conductors in the employ of the Midland Company, we take pleasure in making special mention of our townsman, David Shattuck, whose route is between Utica and Scipio. A gentleman of strict integrity, looking as well to the interests of his employers as to the accommodation of the public, he has won the confidence of the Company, and stepped from a lower rank to the responsible position he now so competently fills. Ever attentive to his duties, he has a pleasant word for all, and a happy faculty of making those whose good fortune it is to travel with him, feel at their ease. He is deservedly popular with the traveling public.
