THE NORTHERN LINE.
It is true that the North is not such an unknown land as it was a few years ago, but it is still very far from being appreciated on its merits. It is not only a land jf promise, but a land of great promise. It is peculiarly adapted for close settlement, and can be made to carry ?.n industrious population whose chief centre is Unavoidably Auckland, says the Auckland "Herald." If Dunedin had such a great peninsula in ita vicinity, we should not find it Unrailwayed and almost roadless, with great block; of facile native country locked again-t European settlement by absurd and antiquated and indefensible laws. Dunadin would have perceived its commercial value long atro, and would by n iw have trains running daily to far beyond and every impediment to settlement swept away. *
