A CITY of Mexico dispatch says the
great volcano Of Colima, now in active
eruption, is grand and magnificent
sight. The first symptoms of activity
were manifested Sunday. There were
low rumblings and subterranean NUT
terings, and the mountains shook and
trembled. The eruption at night is full
of splendor and grandeur. Last night
lurid flames shot up from the crater Of
the volcano, Illuminating the darkness
for miles around. Incandescent stones
are also thrown up, together with show
ers of ashes. which darken the atmos-
phere in day time. The fire, smoke,
ashes and stones are accompanied with
dreadful subterranean laundering and
trightful and unearthly noises under the
volcano, together with quakings of the
earth. The sublimity of the scene is
equal to the terror it inspires. 1nhabi-
tants of villages and towns in the vicin
itY of the mountain are in state of
panic and wild terror.
