Losr OyEHBoAED On her passage up to Maui
last week, the schooner RamOi had on board n vaiu-
able horse belonging to Capt Hebron. which had
been recently broken in 10 harness IN this city. Dur
ing the night, while on the Passage up, the horse ds-
appeared without the least noise being made. or even
tbe he,msman knowing Of it. 1t is supposed that in
one of the sudden la ches which every vessel makes
in 7 heavy sea, the horse got frightened, and with
one leap jumped overheard, breaking his rope, but
causing no disturbance. Still, it appears a little
sineuIar that even the man at the helm should not
have observed it,. The horse was valued at S2UO.
