PORTRAIT OF THE LATE Gov. KANOA.

A portrait of the late Hon. Paul
kanoa, formerly Governor of Kauai,
has been purchased by subscription
and is to be hung in the Court house
at Nawiliwili, Kauai. This picture
was painted by Mr., Furneax from life
and is deemed to be an excellent
likeness. The subscribers are mainly
Hawaiians resident at Kauai and take
a great interest in having q memorial
OF their venerable and respected
governor where it can be seen and

pirate that the portrait should be at
the Court House, as the building
stands on the site and over the cellar
OF Governor Kanoa's former residence.
