FUNERAL OF EUPH1E F. BoUDAR.-Coroner
Lee, who was notified on Tuesday night Of
the death Of Euphie F. Boudar, declined
holding an inquest Wednesday. The par
ents were ayerse to having any more pub
liclty given to the matter, and the coroner
was satisfied with the certificates Of the at
tending physicians. At O'Clock Wedness
dav afternoon the remains were taken to st.
Peters church, corner of Poppleton and
Hollins streets, where services were held
according to the ritual Of the Roman Catho-
lie Church, the Rev. G. 3. Corrigan oflicia-
ting. The pall-bearers were Messrs. Glen
Boyd, George London, Deliver Feast, and
Mr.. Riley, OF the Catholic Mirror. Amongst
the floral decorations which adorned the
rosewood casket which contained the re-
mains OF the still beautiful child were q
magnificent cross OF natural flowers, the
Gift of'C. G.. Fulton, Esq, and crown
sent bv the ladies Of his household. a
number of friends Of the family OF the de-
ceased were present, and also many OF her
Young companions, who were deeply affect
ed during the solemn services.
Rev. Mr.. Corrigan delivered a short but
sympathetic address, dwelling on the ten
der and loving nature OF the deceased, the
painful circumstances which brought about
her death, and the lessons which were to be
learned from such a mysterious dispense
ton. The funeral cortege then proceeded
10 the new Cathedral Cemetery, where the
body was inferred. The sympathies 'of all
their friends and acquaintance are with the
bereaved parents, who feel their loss deeply,
although the condition of the child during
the last few days was such as to foreshadow
the event, and thus to some extent mitigate
the poignancy OF their grief.-Balt'n'ore

RICHMOND, AUGUST 1O,

RICHMOND, August 10, 1876.
Some time since you advocated a reduc-
tion Of the grade on Main street from
Seventh to Fifth streets. Is this grade
heavier than that OF Ninth street, or Of
Main below Twelfth? II not, am satisfied
that an extension OF the horse-car track up
Main to connect with the present track at
Laurel street would solve the transporta-
ton problem in Richmond, as far as the
WestEnd is concerned. Let the cars be la
belled "Main street" and ' Broad street "
respectively, and that populous part Of the
city south OF Main from Fifth to Laurel
would have borse-car facilities which they
are now denied, and the patronage would
be source of income to the company.
To residents in the vicinity Of Monroe
Park the saving in time in this Main-street
route would be Of great advantage.
Respectfully, WEST MAIN STREET.
