Death OF VIM, G. Richardson.

Death has been unusually busy this year
among the business men of Ottawa. A few
months ago it was eur painful task to chronicle
the death of four in single week, aad now we
have TO add to the list the name Of WIN y. RICH
ARDsoN, who died at his residence in South OF
tawa on Monday morning the 11th inst, of con-
sumption.
WILLIAM CAPRoN RICHARDSON was born in
Bradford county, Pa, in 1927, and was conse-
quently, at tho time of his death, Al years old
From Pennsylvania the family had moved to New
York, and from thence. in about 1S43, to Illinois
when the subject Of this notice was about IS years
of age ,yr trsa4
Even at that early age, William showed remark
able capacity for business, and commenced buy
ing cattle, driving them to the Chicago market,
q business in which he was SO successful, that u
few years afterwards some heavy capitalists at
the east proposed partnership to him, which he
accepted, With the increased capital thus afford
ed, the business prospered for a year or two, but
then came one Of those reverses to which this
business more than almost any other seems ts be
liable, and our young dealer was stripped of his
last dollar. Nothing daunted, hsueyer, he was
soon his feet again, and at absut this time the
Illinois and Michigan Canal opening he en-
gagged in the grain trade, and was one Of the first
to ship grain from Ottawa to Chicago. From
that day to his death, he remained one Of the
leading grain dealers of our city, his purchases
and shipments frequently amounting to quar-
ter and oven yha1f a million of busheIs a ya,r
In this business sharing like all others its uncer-
tainties and ups and downs, he was upon the
whole successful and at his death leaves his FAM
lily very handsome competence. Doubtless hi.
accumulations would have bsen much greater
than they are, had he enjoyed better health bat
for the last five six years he had to battle with
the fell disease consumption, seeking relief du-
ring the summer season by travel, compelling
him to leave his vast business to the mana agement
Of clerks and assistants.
Mr.. Richardson was twice married the first
time to the daughter Of Mr., John Palmer, who
died some ten years ago; and the second time to
the daughter Of Mr.. John Hossack, who survives
him. He leaves but one child, we believe, q
daughter nearly grown up.
In his personal intercourse. kind, aifable, cour-
teous as business man, bold, enterprising, yet
high-.oned, liberal, and always scrupulously HON
est,-Mr. r. was always esteemed one of the first
and best of our citizens and in his death, while
to his immediate relatives and friends the loss is
crushing and irreparable, our people generally
mourn his loss as public bereavement.

One cold Sunday evening. n young man,
whom for the sako of convenience, wc will
call John, went To visit tho girl whom he
would call his own. Tho fair olle resides
very near the canal. During the evening
the young man Of tho nnInc John was un.
ablc TO conceal tho wish OF his heart, and
in tender accents declared his desire that
tho young lady should consent to be his.
IIc met with n flat roiusaL J hU ardent
JOhn s,ili I'sr.s.J her further. declaring
that if she would not accept him he would
then aud there drown himself In the briny
waters Of the canal. AS his threat did not
effect tho desired purpose, lle proceeded to
carry il ont. lilo plunged loarlcssly intn
tho inllrky flood and wa,lcd out until tho
chilly waters reached over his shoulders.
The evening on which this occurred was
none of tho warmrst. Retraing before
fii,nlly carrying out his purpose, John cried
ant, shivcriig with tho cold, wv W will
you nlnrry mo now?' "No." In lc

"No." swell, don't care rap whether
you marry me or not. You won't get me

quickly departed, and returned TO his
