rows 1MpnoyEMENr--A SUGGESTION.

A company of gentlemen belonging to
the Masonic Fraternity Of this place, are
proceeding to erect commodious and hand
some building on the lot situated on Main
Street, formerly belonging 10 the late Mr..
JOHN Mcdowell and adjoining the resi-
dence of Mr.. B. F. PoINTs. The building,
we understand, will contain on the first
floor two school rooms, on the second a
large hall for public purposes, and on the
third hall for the accommodation of the
Fraternity. Workmen have already COM
menced operations. and the building will be
completed during the ensuing Summer
The enterprising gentlemen who have plan
ned and are carrying out this improvement
are entitled to the thanks ofthe community.
We have heretofore alluded to the want
of town clock i'll this place, and we now
respectfully suggest to our Common Coun-
Gil to make an appropriation for procuring
one and placing it on the new Masonic
Hall, or somewhere else in the town. An
arrangement could no doubt be effected with
the proprietors of the Hall, the convenient
position of which points 1t out, we think, as
the most suitable place. If disposable funds
are wanted, we venture to say, that the or
dinance granting salary to the Mayor
might be repealed without disadvantage.
and the money appropriated to this object.
Staunton is probably the smallest town in
the State with salared Mayor, and the
largest one without town clock.

the subject Of fruit trees. There is now in
the United States Society called "The
American Pathological Congress OF fruit
growers" 1t is national Society, and do
ing immense service. The associating prin-
ciple is the most active, and it seems to he
necessary to accomplish any general good.
Treeson these islands combine beauty, pro-
it, comfort. The coffee, the fig, the bread
fruit, the tamarind, and the orange afford
handsome remuneration, and are an orna-
ment and refreshing shade around your
dwellings. Every one who has rood Of
land can cultivate some of these trees, and il
would add immensely TO the revenue Of the
islands. if they attracted general attention,
although small, for each individual,
You are better situated TO command the
markets ofthe American coast in all the trop-
ical fruits than any other islands in the Pa
cifc. .lYour proximity gives you decided
advantage, and when the day Of steam boats
arrives, and you see them passing along to
your wharves with hundreds Of people bound
to the Oriental world, your fruits will have
home market, enriching you for all your Ia
Dor. Fruits and Flowers will be equal to
golden mine. This culture is appropriate
for woman at least TO ornament her own
grounds, and furnish her table with this lux
ury. There is a beautiful fitness for woman
in the garden amid flowers and fruits, espe-
cially when the product of her own direction.
II is better exercise than riding on horse
back, at least for a change for the mind is
as pleasurably and more usefully employed.
Honolulu can be made the city Of gardens,
water is the only want, and have no doubt
that as soon as the rights Of all parties can
be fully protected, the beautiful stream from
Nuuanu will be conducted over this whole
plain, fertilizing and ehriching till IFS pro-
ductions and its beauty will be the attraction
of every traveller. The day has passed
when water run idly to the ocean. 1t must
either furnish power for machinery or at
least leave lis fertilizing qualities on the
earth There are numerous beautiful vallies
on the group which need the ornament of the
fruit tree, and the vine, and the good people
had better be preparing them, for in few
days you will see the inter-island steamer
visiting every inlet to purchase their fruit.
