TO BUYERS OF Freehold Sections. FREEHOLD HOUSES, OR SUBURBAN BLOCKS TO INViIBTOR9 AND SPECULATORS IN CITY PROPERTIES. many years past no such favorable □ opportunity as the present has presented itself for purchasing freeholds in and around Ohristohurch. The colony is just emerging from a state of depression which has resulted in a low market, but a glorious future is before us, and properties near the centre j of population are sure to become of great value. There iB no colony in Her Majesty's dominiocs which attracts so much attention at present as New Zealand, and no part of N.Z. bo generally adapted for settlement as Canterbury. Its advantages are greatly superior to the other districts. It has not the cold, raw, climate of the South, bo trying to many constitutions. It is much in advance of the North Island, half of which may be ewallowed up at any mornenl, by an EARTHQUAKE 1 And it h.a vast plains cf superior fertility, easy of being worked hy tho agriculturists. Christchurch will be the Melbourne of New ZeaUnd, and not being subject to those spasmodic changes which characterise tho capitals of colonies'or districts dependent on gold returns, it will, no doubt, in its progress be more stable, sure, and permanent ; hence, wo say, no one can possibly go wrong ia buying in the present market. We have sections on the north and west of the city houndaries, suitablo for persona of moans, beautifully situated, with magnificent views of the SOUTHERN ALPS from one side, and the Port Hills from the other, surrounded with luxuriant verdure and park scenery, which, viewed by the " soft light cf the setting sun," can not be surpassed in Old Eutland. We have also properlios near tho TEMPLES OF MART, almost in tho he-art of the city, and for working men and mechanics wo have plots around the belts and in the suburbs, and on the easiest of terms For cltsrks and tradesmen there are villas and substantial modern-built residences, at very low figures. A few Bargains for Cash, the owners of which arc compelled to realise. J". JB. DALE & CO., CATHEDEAL SQUARE. Sewing Machines. VERTICAL FEED.
