Obituary .
THE LATE BEO . EARL HOWE , P . D . G . M . and P . Prov . G . M . Leicestershire and Rutland . The town aud county of Leicester have sustained a p . oignant aud irreparable loss . A nobleman who , for more than half a century , attracted to himself an
amount of respect and veneration which it falls to the lot of but few among us to attain , has been removed from our midst . We allude to the death of Bro . Earl Howe . The sad event , although long anticipated and for some time seen to be inevitable , has nevertheless fallen upon us with all the force of a sudden aud
unexpected calamity . On the evening of Thursday the 8 th inst ., Richard William Penn Curzon-Rowe , O . C . H ., P . O ., 1 st Earl , expired at town residence , South Audley-sti . 'eet , full of years and honours , esteemed by all classes , lamented by all parties , aud leaving behind him a memory Avhich
will continue to be respected as long as any merit is attached by men to a faithful discharge of the duties of the public , or of the kindly amenities of private life . The immediate cause of death was , we believe , his old enemy , the gout ; but for several years his lordship ' s health has been so seriously deranged , and and this , coupled with his advancing years , had prepared the public mind and that of his friends and relatives for his decease .
His lordship was son of the Hon . Penn Asheton Curzon ( eldest son of the first Viscount Curzon ) and the Baroness Howe .

His lordship married secondly ( in 1815 ) Anne Gore , second daughter of the late Vice-Admiral Sir George Gore , K . C . B ., Maid of Honour to Queen Adelaide ( the late Queen Dowager )
by whom he has two sons and one daughter . The family creations are the Baron Howe , of Laugar , 17 SS ; Barou Curzon , of Penn , 1791 : Viscount Curzon , 1 S 02 ; and Earl Howe , 1821 . His lordship was the patron of thirteen livings—the vicarage of Acton and incumbency of Charsfield , Suffolk ; the incumbency of
Curzon Chapel , London ; the vicarage of Penn , the incumbency of Penn-street and Tyler ' s-green , and the vicarage of Little Misseuden , Buckinghamshire ; the rectory ot' Gotham , and tho vicarage of liadcliffe-oii-Soar , Nottinghamshire ; the rectory of Cougerstone . the vicarage of Shackerston , the incumbency of TwycrossLeicestershire ; and the incumbency of Nether
