THE SUICIDE AT THE JAIL.

MR. HAR

VIE AND DR.

An inquisition was taken at the jail on Friday night, at 8 o’clock, before Frank D. Beer, M. D. , one of the Coroners for this! County, on v iew of the body of the deceased, ! and upon thé oath of Daniel Edmonds, James R. Reid, Angus Cameron, John Richards, William. Wyatt, James Dover, and John Wonacott, a yerdict was rendered that the deceased came to his death by cutting his throat while insane.

Grorce A. Harvin, sworn: The de- ceased McInnis has been in keeping in this jail since the 5th March. He was committed for debt. He was a quiet sort of a man for a short time, and then he became violent— apparently insane. I never heard him threaten to commit suicide. I locked him up separately about a week ago, and report- ed it to the Justices, and got the Doctor's certificate of insanity, which I sent- to the Government. He got better, and removed him upstairs again, but put him by himself at night. Between eight and nine o’clock this morning | heard a noise upstairs. | ran up, and met D. Edmonds upon the stairs. He said McInnis had gone crazy again. On the upper stairs I met McInnis, with a knife in his hand and blood spurting from his throat. He came down with me, and sat down. I sent for the doctor. Doc- tor McLeod came and attended him. He died about four o'clock in the afternoon.

WiLiAM SEMPLE, sworn :—I knew the deceased before he came to the jail. I saw him this morning when we were up-stairs. We were at the window and McInnis came in and took up the knife. He ran out and, on my looking, L saw him with the knife cutting his throat. I called Mr. Harvie at once. He hi as always been well treated. We shared our food with him as he had nothing of his own.

Dr. James McLeop, sworn :—Said that he was called to see Donald McInnis at 8 a.m., this morning. That he found him with a cut under the right jaw about two inches in length and about one and a-half inches in depth ; that on epening the wound blood was found to pour freely from it, but no artery was found bleeding. That Dr. Taylor was sent for after the bleeding was

MACLEOD,

stopped by compression. That Dr. Taylor and himself again opened the wound and sought for a bleeding vessel in order to secure it, if possible ; that none being found, compression was again resorted to ; that the patient was nearly moribund on his arrival; and that during the examination as

little loss of blood was allowed as possi- ble; that his pulse, at the first was scarcely perceptible ; that again at 10 o’clok he, with Dr. Taylor, visited the patient and found that some. blood had escaped since compression had been resorted to; that thereupon a new compress was applied ; and assistants were instructed to keep up manual compression ; that again at 3 o’clock he, with Dr. Taylor, visited the patient and found that no further bleeding had taken place: and further, he says, that he had asked the patient why he had committed the deed, and that in reply, the patient said, because he wanted to go to heaven. He states, as his opinion, that the his death from. the great loss of blood he sustained; the greater portion of this loss occuring up stairs and on the doorsteps, previous to his seeing him.

The evidence of Allan McNeill, Francis McAree, and James MeDonald also taken at the inquest, corroborates that of William Semple.

Principal Grant. (From the Mail.)

Principal Grant has proved himseli the right man in the_ right place as head of Queen's University. When this gentleman was chosen for his high office by the College trustees we expressed our con- fidence in his fitness, and when on the oc- cassion of his induction into the Principal's chair, he delivered an in-augural address distinguished alike by its scholarship and its breadth of view, we predicted that Mr. Grant would give his whole being to the work. Coming, as he did, from one of the largest congregations in the Doinimion, fresh from the laborious work of Church Courts, and oceupied with every kind of benevolent and educational scheme, we did not expect him te become the ideal profes- sor ina moment. But he has more than fulfilled the expectations we had formed regarding him. He has thrown all the zeal and enthusiasm that he showed in the ictive duties of the ministry, into the study of books and the work of the class-room, and from all we can gather, he gives pro- mise of becoming an “able instructor and an efficient administrator. We congratu- late him on the influence over youth which he has already gained. In the faculties which made him at one time President of the Football Club and the Debating Sociéty in his own student days, while he found the secret of the success which has shown itself during the few months of his profes- siorial life, It is evident that he hasa living sympathy with young men in all

their studies. While the gravity of the teacher is never wanting in him, there is the zest for manly re- creation which will make his students

regard him as one of themselves. It is easy to see from the proceedings of ‘Convo- cation Day that he already enjoys a full measure of the kind of popularity we are

His addresses are models of replete with. learning, they are

-jmanly intone and full of common sense.

| In the most recent his human sympathies | are displayed in every sentence, and we hope the emphasis he laid upon character, | not as opposed to but as above learning or success in life, will long be remembered by every hearer.

The Paris Exhibition.

The ceremony of opening the Interna- tional Exhibition of 2878 took place on the Ist inst. with great success. The opening ceremonies began at 2;30 in the Se at which time it was showery, but at ‘ o'clock the sun was shining brilliantly. The crowd was immense and enthusiastic in spite of the alternations of rain. Through- out the proceedings cries everywhere were heard of ‘‘ Vive la Republique” and ‘‘ Vive la France.” The Prince of Wales, Don Francis D’ Asiz, father of the King of Spain; Duc D’ Aosta, brother of the King of Italy, and the ex-King of Spain ; Prince Fréder- ick, Crown Prince of Denmark, the Prince of Orange, the Heir.Apparent to the throne of the Netherlands and Prince Henry of Holland were present. Marshal MacMahon atrived in ‘the State carriage, escorted by his military household, troops being drawn up all along the route from the Elysee. On the procession being formed, the Prince of Orange, the Crown Prince of Denmark and Prince Amadeus ranged themselves to the right. of the President, with the Prince of Wales in the uniform of the Horse Guards, and Prince Henry of Holland walked to the left of the President.

The spectacle of the ceremony was mag- nificent. Perfect order prevailed. | Ex- Queen Isabella, of Spain, witnessed the ceremony from the Gallery occupied by Madame McMahon.

The scene after the official declaration of the opening was imposing in the extreme.

Early in the morning the avenues and Boulevards were crowded with vehicles and foot passengers. Later in the day the streets were impassable in many places’ m conse- quence of the immense crowds assembled to witness the illuminations. Many buildings in every quarter of the city were decorated with the flags of all nations.

Terrible Riiplosios!

Memeuts, Tenn., May 1.-The tow boat “Warner” from New Orleans to Saint Louis, with five model barges and a trading boat in tow, exploded her boilers when op- posite the elevator... The pilot house and roof were blown to a great height, and_ fell back upon the wreck, which was filled with splinters and fragments. Dixon Kennell, the pilot, and Wm. Radcliffe. che second engineer, who was asleep at the time, were lost, and one fireman was blown into frag- ments. The boat had a total crew of twenty- five, but owing to the confusion and the hurrying off to the hospital of the wounded, it is impossible to tell exactly how many were lost. In five minutes after the explo- sion all of the wreck except the roof sunk out of sight. All the officers and crew were residents of St. Louis. The noise of ‘the explosion resembled the discharge of a ten- inch Columbia, and shook every building in the city.

At a mung tewn..in Indiana recently some members of a militia company which had been drillmg got imto an altercation with a negro and shot him. They then marched throug! h the streets, shooting at every colored man they saw. Two were killed outright and another wortally wound- ed. The greatest excitement prevails in the town, and a requisition has been inade for the military.

He appeared to be almost gone. Rolling his eyes towards the partner of his bosom, he gasped, ‘‘ Bury me ‘neath the weeping willow, and plant a single white rose above my head.” ‘O, it’s no use!” she snapped out. ‘* Your nose would scorch the roeta !’ He got well.

‘* Well, I swan, Bill,” said an old farmer to an undersized nephew who was visiting him, “‘when you take off that ‘ere plug hat and spit two or three times, there ain’t munch left of you, is th’ ?”’

The Dominion Government has decided to exact a duty of 174 percent., ad valorem upon all importations of U nited States s.lver coin.
