     HON. ANDREW ARCHIBALD MACDONALD, Lieutenant 
     
     Governor of Prince Edward Island, was born in this Prov- 
     
     ince on the 14th Feb, 1829. He is the eldest son of Hugh 
     
     MacDonald and Catharine MacDonald his wife, and grand- 
     
     son of Andrew MacDonald who purchased an estate of 
     
     ten thousand acres on this Island in the early part of the_ 
     
     century, and with his family and some fifty of his country- 
     
     men whom he brought with him to settle on the property, 
     
     emigrated from Inverness-shire, Scotland, to Prince Edward 
     
     Island where his kinsmen MacDonald Glenaladale and 
     
     other relations had already taken up their abode. Shortly 
     
     after his arrival in the Province, he likewise purchased the 
     
     beautiful Island of Panmure, seven hundred acres in extent 
     
     at the entrance of Cardigan bay. There he erected a dwelling 
     
     house and store, and took up his residence. Here he set 
     
     apart a suitable piece of land fora church, which was soon 
     
     built, with the assistance of a few settlers of the same faith, 
     
     and these all would assemble to join in offering the 
     
     sacrifice of the mass at such rare intervals as a Priest visited 
     
     the district. The firm of Andrew MacDonald & Son, 
     
     established an extensive business in exporting the .pine 
     
     timber of the province to Great Britain, and importing such 
     
     goods as the settlers required, and also extended a branch 
     
     0f the house to Miramichi in New Brunswick. ‘ They ex- 
     
     perienced all the usual difficulties of early settlers in a new 
     
     country, but we will only note a few somewhat difierent
