Fosters new factory is reported ready for d start,

part instruction on the piano. This young lady

strument. Her manipulation in the rendering
of classic styles was admirable; and a subsequent
attendance at the Conservatory of Music in Bos-
ton, and other excellent musical opportunities
have fully confirmed the promise, and impaired
$ superior style to Miss Castles execution.

machinery for his Ice Works. The pump has
a ? fl. stroke, with cylinder of ~ inches diane
ter. Those at present in use in Honolulu have
cylinders of only 6 inches diameter. An engine
to drive the new pump has arrived with it. Mr..
Wilder is erecting new buildings to accommodate
the increased plant and for the purpose of
storing ice. These various improvements will
involve an expenditure of SO, 900.
