Princip] Grant's condition changed early this morning, evidences of oe dema of the lungs developing. This was the filling of the system with perus fluid. He sank rapidly and died at eleven o'clock. His Life Briefly Outlined. Principal Grant was born on Decem ber 22nd, 1535, at Stellarton, (Albion Mines), a village situated on the East River, county Picton, "Nova Scotia. His father, a native of Scotland, taught 5 school the village where the distinguished principal was Lorn and reared The family removed to LVicton, and young George Munro at- tended the académy of that town. It is said he was not remarkable ° for close application to study, but that he could master his books with very little difficulty. . "He wis," says an authority, "fond- er of play than of his lessons, and al- ways rendy for g scramble, or a holi- day, or a fight at 4 moment's no- tice. He was ambitious and pugna cious, and had several 'perilous ad ventures, such as do not commonly fall to a boy's lot. Un one occasion he was thrown into the Easteriver, at Pictou; by a big boy with whom he had been fighting, and to whom he refused to acknowledge himsell beat: en. His antagonist left him to scram- ble out of 'the river or drown. * * * He and some of his play- fellows, for the miere Jove of mischief, were ex- perimenting with "hay cutter, in the absence of is owner. Young Grant's hand was caught by the knife and completely taken off. The deprivation never seriously inconvemienced him, and he was often known to say, 'Ido not know what I would do with a second hand if | had it." He bore away the Primrose from the Pictou geademy. In his sixteenth year he entered the West River seminary of the Presbyterian church of Nova Scotia, Necpiving his instruction in classics and philosophy at the hands of the able Prof. Ross, afterwards president of Dalhousie cal- lege, Halifax. He ined in the seminary for two yell, and was elec ted by the commitide of the synod of Nova Scotia as one of four bur wars to be sent to the university of Glasgow, to be fitted for the ministry of the Presbyterian church. Just as he attained his eighteenth year he proceeded -to Scotland. His career at the university was charac terized by singular success. He took the highest honors in philosophy end also carried off fast prizes in classics, moral philosophy and chemistry, and the second prize in logic.

A new flow of warm, thrilling blood was infused into Queen's, and it bounded forward into a place among the ioremost uni- versities in Canada, until to-day its arts depariment is unequalled in the country. In addition to this splendidly ac- hieved success, principal Grant began to give much attention to public and literary topics.

London, May 10.--It is learned that there were probably about a thousand whites in St. Pierre, including hall a dozen Englishmen. It is also learned that the steamer Rodam arrived at St. Louis with her anchors gone, she having only escaped by cutting her cables ana steaming away from St. Pierre at full speed. So narrow was her escape that her tarpaulins dnd running gear were burned. A despatch to the Daily Mail, from Kingston, Jamaica, states that, after a short period of activity, which gave no special ground for suspicion of a disaster, mount Pelee, the volcano in | Martinique, suadenly belched forth | burning lava and ashes, on the morn ing of the 8th. The steamer Roaam was the sole vessel in the hart of St. Pierre, She escaped by steaming out at full speed and .runnine the gauntlet of a shower of lava, which killed seventeen of her crew. It is stated that St. Pierre is another Pom peii, being covered with ashes and anet. bs The colonial office here has receivea a despatch from Sir Robert Llewelyn, governor of the Windward islands, dated Kingston, St. Vincent, yester day. The governor says that the Sou friere volcano, in the north-western part of the island, of © St. Vincent, British West Indies, continues in ac tivity. Earthquake shocks had occur reil for a week past, but not actually in Kingston.

There were already 300 refugees there, who were being fed by the authorities. Cannot Reach It. Kingston, Ja., May 10.--It is impos sible for vessels to approach Martini gue, and for this reason foll details of the disaster are slow in reaching the other islands. Two vessels have been lost with all on hoard, in endeavor mg to approach St. Pierre. Much ap prehension is felt regaruing the fate of St. Vincent. Profound Sympathy. London, May 10.--All the morning newspapers refer, in their editorial columns, to the terrible disaster in Martinique. Hopes are expressed that the calamity will not prove to have been of so terrible 5 nature gs present accounts indicate, and, meanwhile, the French republic is assured of the pro found and heartfelt sympathy of the English people.
