cept Reappointment, He In
forms Essex Freeholders.

DIR. Joseph NJ. Malatesta, second as
sistant physician at Overlook Hos
pital for the Insane, who was charged

ter to a close yesterday by notifying
the Board of F~reeholders that under
no circumstances would he accept a
reappointment" at the institution.

the medical department.

members of the Board of Freeholders
for the many courtesies which l have
received at your hands and to assure
you that 1 thoroughly appreciate the
same.
"If the board so desires. 1 am will
ing to remain at the institution until
a suitable person "a be found to
take my place, but under no circum-
stances will I accept a reappointment.
with kindest regards and best
wishes, believe me, sincerely yours,

HIS WISDOM ACQUIRED BY
MAIL DEADLY TO DUCKS

JERSEY CITY, ". J., Dec. 1S.-Jo-
seph Peppler, who runs a duck farm
on a correspondence-school basis, is
still wondering today why judgment
was given against him in the First
District Court here for the price of
rs of 1870 ducks which had been shipped
to him by Joseph Millman, of Staten
Island. The ducks in question, he
said, died almost as soon Is he In
Grated them.
In response to questions by Mill
mans lawyer, Peppler said that, pur-
suant to the instructions he obtained
by correspondence, he fed the ducks
mixed corn, wheat, meal, salt
and an abundance of grit and sand
"A wonder the entire lot didn't die"
was Millman's comment.
