A Matter of History. | Kingston, Jan. 7.--(To the Edi- {tor): In your pager of Saturday, | Jam. 3rd, under, "Dominion Happen- | nings of Other Days," you state that the Duke of Richmond, then gover- | nor of Canada, died at Richmond, | Que., from the bite of a pet fox. | Ithink you are mistaken, or I have | been greatly niginformed. My par- | ents have frequently pointed out to | me the old barn and told me the | story of the duke going mad, "likely | hydrophobfa," and being locked up [in the barn until he died. This was | at Richmond, Carleton county, Ont. | About Richmond was stationed after | | the war of 1812 the famous 103rd {| Regiment of the DubMn Fusiliers, of which my grandfather was sergeant in No. 7 Company. This regiment, on landing in Canada, became known as the 100th Regiment and fought all through the war. Richmond, Carleton county, was settled and the surrounding country surveyed for the purpose of giving the soldiers land grants. A serge- ant's grant was 200 acres. The pa- pers were placed in a bag and each man put in his hand and drew out the number of his grant. My grand- father drew 100 acres on the 4th concession of Goulbourn, four miles from Richmond, and the other 100 acres five miles west of that, mear Ashton. The deeds for the land were not delivered until 1824. The | town was called Richmond West, to | distinguish it from Richmond, in | Lower Canada. | --W. A.
