Council and Board of Trade from Buffalo, white-haired clergymen with black scarfs, societies from and last, though not least, with begrimed but faces, the mechanics, artisans and from the depot towards the little church where the re- ae of the lamented dead were exposed to public view. From nine o'clock in the morning—at which hour the church was thrown open to the public—until the time epocinied for the funeral servicce—two o'clock P. M.— ere was @ constant and steady stream of visitors, all anxious to gaze for the last time on the uncovered fea- tures of the dead, As work was suspended in all the shops on the Central and State line railroads and the stores closed in this city, the number of people attending both the funeral services and the funeral itself was immense. St. James’ Episcopal church, where the services were held, is a small, unpre- tending structure, although handsomoly fitted up in the interior, It was the church in which Mr. Richmond and his family worshipped for many years. At the appointed hour the mournful! strains of the organ mingled with the officiating clergyman’s voice ‘I am the resurrection and the life.” The coffin was conveyed from the vestibule to the chancel, and the beautiful burial service of the Episcopal church chanted. The plaintive chord of the first anthem, taken from the Thirtieth and Ninetieth Psalms, was inexpressibly touching, and many a bended head shook and many a stout form trembled with emotion as the music and words brought before thom the grim ‘King of Terrors.” The officiating clergymen were Rev. Messrs. Fowler, Sheldon and ley. Rev. Mr. Fowler, rector of St. James’ church, delivered the funeral oration, in which he enlogized the memory of the deceased and consoled his sorrowing friends, The following were the pall bear- ers:—2Messrs. W. G. Bryan, T. lee, W. G. Fargo, G. Bowen, M. Taggart, D. W. Tomlinson, H. J. Glowacki, H —— M. Robertson, 8. RK, Church and the four directors of the Central Railroad. At the conclusion of the services a procession was formed in the following order:—The clergy, the committee of Batavia, the hearse and pall bearers, the family and relatives of de- ceased, directors and officers of the New York Central Railroad, directors and oflicers of Buffalo and State Line Railroad, Bourd of Trade of the city of Buffalo, Common Council of the city of Buffalo, special delegations, personal friends from abroad, Bata- via Fire Depariment, Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, and citizens generaily. No carriages were used in the pro- cession except for the clergy and family and relatives of deceased. The procession formed four abreast and moved ja that order. Mrs, Richmond, and her sons Alfred, Henry, Eugene, Dean and Edward and her daughter Adelaide were present during the sad ceremony, and the émotion which they displayed drew tears from some of the strongest present. The hearse was drawn by six horses, and the coffin was one of the richest that could be procured. Thecemetery in which the remains of the sturdy old railroad pioneer and widely respected citizen were deposited is about a mile and a half from this city. It is small, unfinished and primitive, and does not call for any special notice. Rev. Mr. Fowler road the last. burial service, and the crowd remained uncovered while the body of Dean Richmond was lowered into the grave. TROUBLE AS TO THE CUSTODY OF A CHILD. Singular Case and Singular Developments— A Writ of Habeas Corpus and a Return, SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS, . Before Judge Barnard. Avaust 20,—In the Matter of the Petition of Agnes Watson for a Writ of Habeas Corpus.—This case, which contains somewhat mysterious features, as appear by the papers laid before the court, came up to-day on a re- turn to the writ of habeas corpus. The petitioner is Mrs, Agnes Watson, a widow, and the defendant, William S. Boggs, a ‘bant of this city. The facts in the case are set forth in the petition of Mrs, Watson ited to ‘the court through her counsel, Mr. Edwin James. The statements in this petition are that Mrs. Watson gavo birth toa female child on the 29tIf of April, 1866, of which William 8. Boggs is the father, and that imme- diately after the birth this child was removed by Boggs; that the petitioner has frequently requested defendant to return ber the child, but he has refused to do so, and she, therefore asks for awrit of habeas corpus com- pelling the production of said child. A return was to- day made to this writ which states that Mr. Boggs never bad custody of the child, nor at any time restrained it of its liberty. Mra, Watson was examined by Mr, James and made the following statement :— Thave known Mr. Boggs since a year Joan undertaker, carrying on an extens: street, Brooklyn: be was the father of ve Birth on the 20th dey of April, 1866: female ehild; Mr. Boggs provided the place where I was con- fined: Mr, Boggs provided doctor and nurse; the doctor was Dr, Barry; Mr. Boggs ald if he would be about when the ehild was ‘born he would put {tout of the way; Tleft the place where I was confined that evening about eleven o'clock, accompanied from the room to the r.

Miss Lacoste at the French Theatre. ‘There was a tine house at the French theatre last even- ing, to greet Mise Lacoste in the rather worn out rou of the Deverted Jewoss. This play bas been so dinned in the ears of the New York public, and the woes of the deserted “ Leah,” ‘Deborab,” “ Martha,” Ruth’ and the Jewish lady of balf a dozen other aliases, 80 often paraded upon the metropolitan boards that it is doubtful that even Ristori will be able to awaken a new Interest in the character, and Misx Lacoste failed to do so last night, Not that she acted the contrary, she acted very well indeed. Portions of her read ngs and delineations were excel- lent, and none of her performance was what might be called even medicere. But novelty no longer at- teches to Deborah. Even her curse has ceased to tirtil the soul when from the lips of Mins teman, and Miss Lacoste war 80 orly seconded by the gentleman who tried to act Josoph—but faited to Debora | Kenius for the dramatic profession—that there is little ao more than exhibit his utter want of training, if not of wonder that she did not succeed in resurrecting the dead and buried Teraelitish female, Miss Lacoste read #o well, behaved eo well upon the boards, that even the number of professionals present were forced to applaud indeed willingly applan her—and called her in front of the curtain, seconded by the remainder of the eu- thusiastic anayence, Mr. Prior, Mr. Higgins, Mrs. Jami- son and Mrs. Hind acted with their accustomed taste, The remainder of the cast should be changed before the young (ragedienne allows herself to appear a second time at the French Theatre, or for that matter at any other theatre, Mr, Wilder, on the bills as “a Californ an artist,’ has evidently been wrongly placed the first in the support of Miss Lacoste, All the aid he rendered was to bring down the derision of the house in every scene, spoil the many good points made by the lady enact Deborah, The play will be repeated to-morrow evening.

Deraorr, August 29, 1866. The great event of the season for horse fanciers came i off this afternoon at the Association Park, Hamtramck, Just north of the city limits. The celebrated horses Dextor and M. Patchen, Jr., had beon advertised for the past week to trot there, and the announcement called together a very large concourse of our citizens.

A very larze number of ladies were on the ladies” stand, Allthe arrangements had been completed in a most admirable manner by the managers, and everything passed off very satisfactorily. The weather was very fine, and the track was in admirable condition. The trot was fora purse of $2,000, mile eats, best three in five, in harness. The horses being strangers here, and the impresssion among the spectators being that the horses were trotting more for their amusement. than for a purse; aud besides, a majority of the specia- tors coming to see these famous horses trot without any’ expectation of betting on them, there was little or no betting on the race; but a great deal of money was won: and lost on time, the bets being principally made that the winning horse would not make his mile within 2:24, 2:25 and 2:26, us the bets were called. At about half-past three o’clock the horses appeared \ upon the track. Their appearance elicited much eom- ) \ ment, Dexter being the favorite, owing to his rey y tion;’and as he was driven up and down the track bis trotting qualities were shown off to good advantage, and the crowd showed their admiration by frequent cheers. A few minutes before four o’clock time was and after one false start the horses got off finely. Patchen bad the pole and Dexter was outside. Dexter was a length ahead when they crossed the score, but broke before reaching the second quarter, and Putchon, taking advantage of it, closed the gap.” It was ouly temporary, however; for upon Dexter being let out sufficiently he shot ahead of his antagonist and kept the lead throughout the entire heat, coming in about me length ahead. Time, 2:24%. In the second heat Dexter bad a trifle the lead on the start, but Patchen shot ahead, and kept the lead to the half-mile pole, Dexter being about two lengths bebind. While on the third quarter Dexter took the lend, and — the score a full Jength ahead, winning the heat. in 2:26. In the third heat Dexter broke slightiy on the start, ‘but soon regained his feet and went ahead of Patchen. At the half-mile pole he was considerably ahead. He increased tho gap on the third quarter, and his driver Jett him out on the homestretch, he came in fully niné lengths ahead, making the heat in 2:2334. In the latter portion the last heat the driver of Dexter seemed a: us of showing the spectators a spe- cimen of the horse's fast work. 1 6 crowd repeat- _ edly cheered the horse as ho came in, The whole affair | ' off very pleasantly, the spectators being well sat- jed with the exhibition.

BRUTAL MURDER OF A WOMAN IN ST. LOUIS. [From the St. Louis Democrat, August 28.) A mysterious and bratal murder was committed on Sunday night at the house 811 Soulard street, the victim being an Irishwoman, the wife of a German named David Steigler. The husband took his two oldest daugh~ ters to a beer garden near by, leaving his wife at home with two younger children. | During his absence some fiend in human shape entered the room and killed bis slocping wife in her bed. The hosband on returning | home found his wife lying on the bed with the little gi asleep in her arms. The mother was dead. She bad re~ ceived a blow from a club or other blunt instrament over the left ear and another over the eye, which broke the skull and mashed the head in a horrible manner. The sleeping child was covered with blood. The mother had probably becn slain so suddenly that w slomberof the child was not disturbed, and her arms were still around its young form. The woman, Mra. Catherine Steigler, appears to have been masried two or three times.
