OBITUARY.
DANIEL G. LoBpELL.

The revenue service or this country has sus-
tanned severe loss in the death OF Mr.. Daniel G..
Lobdell, the Supervising Special Agent of the
Treasury Department. The sad news was re.
ceved IN this city yesterday OF Mr.. Lobdell's de-
cease after short illness, and his intimate
friends and onicial associates here were as much
panied as surprised at the announcement. Mr..
Loodell was born in Montgomery county, New
York, and received a legal education, his tastes
rs wen as talents lnclinlng him TO the Bar. About
twenty-dye years ago., however, ne en-
as weigher of the Custom House at
this port. He might almost be said
to be the father OF the warehouse system In this
country, and to aim Is largely due all OF the i'm
provements which have been inaugurated in 1t
since its formation and introduction into our
revenue arrangements. some time in 1867 he was
appointed special deputy OF the Treasury
Department with headquarters at Washington,
ana only about one year ago ne succeeded Mr..
Nudge as Supervising Special Agent there.
Mr.. Lobdell WAS about siXtY-hve years OF age. a
bachelor. He was genial gentleman, with
character beyond reproacn, and the highest
praise that can be awarded him is to say that
never has the breath OF Islander tainted his
Official reputation. His remains will leave WASH

How to Garry an Ok to Market

This from correspondent at Rivere
du Loup, Canada.
When the Grand Trunk Railway Of
Canada was completed in 1860, many
of the farmers had never heard of, much
less seen. railway. but it soon got re-
ported around that passengers could
travel it, and even cattle. A back
woods Englishman, who was indebted
to country merchant was pushed by
the latter for payment of the amount
due, and the only means of liquidatine
the debt was by taking fat OK to the
Quebec market. For this purpose be
tied his OK to the back of his cart, and
drove to the railway station. distance
Of nine miles. On surveying the train
and seeing an iron railing around the
platform of the hind car, he concluded
that that was the place to tie his OK,
which be accordingly did, taking a
place in sscond-class car himself for
ward. Presently the train began to
move off slowly. The speed increased ;
quicker and quicker it went. The poor
man got very fdgsty, the speed still
increasing. until large drops Of sweat
became visible on his brow. By this
time the conductor had reached his car
to collect the tickets. Nearly out Of
breath, the man ran to him, exclaiming:
"My dear conductor. my OK will
never be able to keep up to this pace, it
is not possible"
"Your OK! Keep up to this pace
What do you mean? don't under
stand you. Have you oxen on Board p
"Not on board, Of course. I tied
him to the railing of the hind car"
"You tied your OK to the railing Of
the hind car? Who told you to do SO p
"No one; but that is the way we
always do in the country"
Of course the conductor could not
stop his train before reaching the next
station, when, needless to say, on look
ing for the OK. they found attached to
the rope pair Of horns, with small
portion of the neck.
The humane conductor made col
lection among the passengers on the
spot, realizing larger amount than
the OK would have brought at market,
which he presented to the crest-fallen
farmer. who Immediately returned
home, vowing he would never have
sxen taken to market by railway again.
He has kept his word, and to this day
be leads his OK to market behind his
OWE cart.
