Sinclair.
Lift him up tenderly;
Fashioned so slenderly,-
Gone in his youth-time so soon to
his rest.
Lay him down gently,
And deem it not pastime
As you heap up the clods
On his inanimate breast.
Lower him slowly,
Iuto his grave lowly,-
Cover his form with his mantle of
wool.
A prayer breathe DER him,
For those who adore hin,
And pay him a tribute
From eyes that are full.
With tear on the sod
Commend him to God
kncel by his shallow and rude
fashioned grave,
And from hearts now made sore,
Let each one implore, f,t{,s
~ Mercy and grace @
For the slumbcring brave. les

Tread ever SO lightly
Rem mber soldier is reposing
there;
y And when you return,
Where the watch-frcs burn,
Relate to your comrades

HABEAs CoRPUs CAsE.-Yesterday, before
Judge Rice, Joseph A. Brown, of Brooklyn.
y. T., petitioned for the custody and care of
his son Joseph S. Brown, eight years old.
1t appears that since the death OF the child's
mother, about six years since, he has been re-
siding with his grand parents at Winnegance.
They had become SO strongly attached to the
boy that they were unwilling to part with
him, and the boy seemed full as unwilling to
leave them. His father, who is said to be re-
specially situated at Brooklyn, was obliged to
use the process of habeas corpus in order to
obtain his child. +. Fox, Esq, appeared for
the petitioner, and n. Webb, Esq. for respond
ents. 1t was contended by The respondents,
that, as the child had been placed in their
care by the mother on her dying bed, with the
assent of the father, and that as they had be-
come so much attached to each other, it was
better now that he should not be taken from
them.
On the part Of the petitioner, it was repre-
sented that on the death of the boys mother,
the father had broken up his residence. Since
that time he had been again married and was
comfortably situated and now wished to have
his boy with him. Judge Rice ordered the
boy TO be delivered to the custody of his faith

ACCIDENT on THE HORSE RAILROAD
Yesterday morning, as one of the cars was
coming by Green street, a lad, son of George
al. Harding, Architect, attempted to jump on
10 the front platform. He missed his hold and
fell with his foot upon the track, the wheels
OF the car passing over it. DR.. Dana was
called and attended to the wound. We were
informed in the afternoon, that the injury
would not be so serious a one as was aniici-
pated, and that, probably, no amputaton
would be required. No blame at all was at
tached, either to the driver or the conductor.
This is the first accident on this road, and
We trust it will be caution to the boys
who are in the habit of running at the side of
the cars and attempting to jump on. We
wondef0hat more accidents Of this kind have
not occurred. The Conductors of the cars do
not allow any passengers to enter or leave by
the front door.
