ISTHMUS OF PANAMA IN 1858.

On Wednesday, April %, Sister
Mary Conception of st. AIMS Acad-

ada, celebrated her ninetieth birthday
and received the congratulations of
her many friends. Despite her great
age her intellect is clear and her

four pioneer sisters who came from
Montreal to Victoria in 1858 by way
of the Isthmus of Panama which she
took two months to cross, the feat
being accomplished by sitting in a
chair strapped to the back of ma
tive. Her health is rather feeble and
she is obliged to hear Mass from the
bed in her room which adjoins the
convent chapel, though she is able to
be about for a while later in the day,
