A Windfall fob the Wizard of the North. —Professor Anderson went to Australia some Tears ago, and while there invested a portion of his magical earnings in the purchase of some land. At the time oftheinvestraentlandwas cheapenough in the unsettled districts. That which Mr Anderson purchased he did not even see ; so remotely was it situated that even to visit it was a task of danger and difficulty. He bought it, we are informed, at a land auction on the spur of the moment, and paid for it at the rate of £1 per acre. The district of G-ipps’ Laud was at that time little known, and gold had not been discovered there in any quantity. Within the last few years this remote part of the colony of Victoria baa turned out to bo one of the richest mining districts ; and Professor Anderson has received a letter from his agent in Melbourne, with whom he deposited his title deeds, to the efiect that his land is requited for an extension of the little township of Sale, which has sprung up in the wilderness, and that a railway will ere long counect it with some of the chief towns of Victoria. His agent writes to the Professor that he thinks he shall soon bo able to dispose of the property for £30,000. —Sun.
