CHRISTCHURCH.
September 25,
Further search for Mr Winter shows that he did not go to Akaroa at all, but went to the Waimakariri district. He has not yet been found. On Friday last a young man named W. Carter climbed a tree (partly cut through for falling) to attach a rope, when the tree suddenly fell, throwing Carter against a sod fence. He was picked up insensible, and is in a very precarious condition. Mr J. H. Clayton, late manager of the Telegraph newspaper, having purchased the Patea Mail, was on Saturday presented with a farewell testimonial by the employees of the Telegraph. Steps are being taken to form a company to construct a branch line of railway to Little River, probably via Cashmere.
Tbe lease for thirty years of two adjacent sections in the heart of Christchurch were sold by Messrs Matson and Co. on Saturday. One, a corner section, with 28ft frontage on Colombo-street, fetched an annual rental of £22 5s per foot. The other, with 14ft frontage on Herefordstreet, went at an annual rental of £15 103 per foot. The sections sold are a portion of what is known as " Morten's block," and cover 1624 fquare feet at the corner of Colombo and Hereford-streets. The lease for the thirty years is equal to a purchasing price of £25,200.
