Don Preussner, who for several
years past has been an efficient en-
ployee in the office of the Manches-
ter 4 Oneida Railway, resigned last
Monday to accept the position of
bookkeeper in the First National
Bank Of this city. Mr.. Preussner is
a trusty, competent and accomodat-
ing young man, and we predict for
him term of service at the First
National, which will be mutually
beneficial to the Bank, its patrons
and himself Clarence Boardway
takes the position in the railway
office resigned by Mr.. Preussner.
Clarence is a good boy and quite
familiar with the duties of the office,
having performed them for year
or more when the road first started.
In securing the services of two such
trusty young men the Bank and the
Railway Co. are entitled to con-
CALCULATIONS.
Don't kill the birds. 1t is cruel
and demoralizing as well as a
criminal offense. Section 2561 of
the supplement of the Code makes
it unlawful to destroy the nests or
eggs, or kill any bird, except blue
jays and English sparrows. For
violation of this section fine of not
less than one dollar nor more than
twenty-five dollars shall be imposed,
and the offender may be sent to Jail
until such fine and costs are paid.
We do not want to advise resort
to harsh measures, but unless the
practice of shooting harmless birds
can be stopped in some other way
the authorities should prosecute
without delay one or more offenders
to the full extent of the law. Such
prosecutions would be object les
sons which would save the birds,
and at the same time teach the boys
with their small rifles regard for
the laws Of kindness and Of their
state which it will be we'll for them
to learn before they grow older.
