has recently been made by the young ladies Of Homo
lulu 20 raise funds for the purchase Of the dwelling
and premises now occupied by Miss Lydia Bingham.
The property was owned by Rev. +. W. Clark, and
the required sum Of 5000 having been subscribed,
il has been decided TO the American Board in trust
for the sole object Of n seminary to educate Hawaii

securing its title than to piace it in the hands of a

shOlars, but the Accommodations are ample for double
that number. The premises are large and conven-

thy object are among the true benefactors OF the Ia
