For nearly a quarter of a cen- tury he continuously occupied the poSi- tion of Premier of Oatario, a record not day of last week, aged 69 years. Rev. Mr. Richardson had only been confined to Itis room about two weeks. Heart trouble was the cause of death. Deceas- ed was widely known in Methodist "On the 8th day of January last his Honor, the Lieutenant Governor, was walkiug by himself up and down the hall at Goverument House, watching his grandchildren at play, when he tripped and fell heavily, sustaining a fracture of the neck of the right thigh bone. He suffered a good deal of pain and discom- fort, but he gradually recovered and was able to walk, with sotne assistance, and to support his weight upon the injured limb On Sunday night, April 12th, whilst he was being uudressed.for bed, and whilst two of the atteudauts were in the act of liftiug hint from his chair, the right thigh was broken a short dis- stance above the centre of the bone and some six inches below the previous break. The fracture was set, chlorform being administered for the purpose, and the necessary splints were applied. His Honor stood the immediate effects of the injury well, and no alarming symp- ,,Agnalled by any other public man in the toms developed until Tuesday eight, Empire. The secret of his success is shortly before midnight, when his found in his efficiency. While he attempted no rash reforms, he did not impede necessary ones. He did not go to extremes in any of his political views. Throughout his whole career he has shown himself to be a man of high in- tellectual capacity and moral standing. His example will serve to exercise a wholesome influence on the people whoss affairs he so long Bisected. heart's action began to fail, and it soon became evident that he could uot recover. Since that time he had been growing gradually weaker." Sir Oliver Mowat was the son of the late John Mowat, one of Wellington's veterans in the Peninsula, by his wife Mary Levack. The family settled at Kingston, Ont.. in 1816, and there the future statesman was born on July 22nd, 18.20. Educated at private schools in his native city, he entered the pidce.,01 a,'13r.
