Plans will be ready for delivery on Wednesday 9th instant. Woodside has the great Northern line of railway running through the town, and a station will be fixed here for communicating with the district and Greytown. Wood-ide is considerably above the sea level, commanding a view of the whole of the Valley..' It is about two miles beyond the Tauherenikau River, and its northerly boundary is on the Waiohine River. ; It has on the western aide hills, the rain from which keeps the country in its immediate locality always well supplied with moisture, whilst the elevation of the site affords excellent drainage. Towards the east, the hills are about seven miles distant, and the site thus possesses the great advantage of early sunrise. Severe winds are never, or very seldom, felt; they follow the gullies and river beds. ItTnay be doubted if there be a more healthy Reality to.be found in the colony. Immediately on the other side of the Waiohine River there ore several sawmills, which can easily supply Woodside with {timber for building and for fencing purposes. The railroad bridge, which crosses the river, is alse to be constructed for the uie of general traffic, and will afford at all times convenient communication with the Matarawa agricultural country. The road between Greytown and Woodside will have a bridge, under which the railway will pass, and therefore no danger at any moment will attend crossing the railway to Urn’e-hili-road, leading to Featherston and up the Valley. The site of Woodside is all available, is high above flood water. Coal was found in the Waiohine River before it was probable any was ever brought to the Valley, and has again been found therein. It is known that there is a seam near the Tauherinikau, a sample of which has been tested in Wellington. There is also a large quantity of quartz iu the Waiohine, and a correspondent in the N. Z. Hail lately stated that he had in his possession a quartz specimen, with gold in it, got from this river. No private sales will be made before the auction takes place. Already a great demand exists from residents and those lately engaged as workmen iu the district. The Township of Woodside is destined to become one of much importance, and that in a very brief space of time. The Auctioneer earnestly advises all visitors to Featherston on the opening of the railway to take a ride and inspect the site, taking care at the same time to provide themselves with a lithographed plan from the auctioneer’s" office. Terms will be liberal. FRIDAY, 25th OCTOBER. HASTERTON TOWN AND SUBURBAN LANDS. MR. R. J. DUNCAN is favored with instructions from K. and J.
