A Good Man Gone.

We much regret to hear of the death of Capt.
ELEAzER CRABTREE, Vice President of Commits
sioners of Emigration, New York City, Capt.
Crabtree was widely known through the coun
try, and beloved by all his acquantances a
more extended notice Of his public services is
copied into another column. With his bereaved
friends in Oxford we deeply sympathise, and can
say to them, in the language of another:
There arc two sources Of comfort even in the
loss Of SO noble man. One is the love of God
experienced in this life in such career; ard
the other is the love of God promised to such
faithful servants of his in the life to come"

FRoLIc OF FooTE-This celebrated humor-
ist, whilst graduating at Worcester College,
Oxford, found IN the head OF IL, Dr. cowor,
highly suitable subject for one of his droll de-
vices. Observing that the rope of the chapel
bell was allowed to hang near the ground, in
an open space where COWS were often kept at
night, he suspended wisp of hay to it, and
the consequence was that some one of the
animals never failed to seize the hay before
morning, and so produced most unseason-
able and mysterious ringing of the bell. A
solemn consultation took place for the elucda-
ton of the portcntous circumstance; and DIR.
Cover having undertaken with the sexton to
sit up all night for the purpose Of catching
the delinquent, disclosed the nature of the
Jest by bouncing out upon the poor cow, and
had the hearty laugh of all Oxford to reward
him for his pains.
