A resume of the account will be appreciated by all islanders for in the early days of Charlottetown, he was beloved by people of every race and creed.

Bishop Bernard MacDonald, a native of Prince Edward Island died at the close of the year 1859. It the age of 62 years. Having completed his studies in Quebec, where he was ordained in 1832, he worked in the diocese of Charlotte-
