bourne. We learn that she is intended for breeding
purposes, and that she is reported as a fast trotter.

STEAMBOAT FOR LAHAINA.-It was reported that
Campbell and Turton, of the Pioneer Mill, had be-

Sedan, and would take her to Lahaina. She would

the hands of the Hawaiians. This is as it should
be-Friend. l -

patient vomited blood and water, showing perhaps,
that either the water or the prayers, or both, dis
