WEDNESDAY, 2Gth MARCH, 1819, Q.REAT. JAND giLE. Rural, Suburban, Town, and Village Limils, ill the Mding Settlement, Manchester ■Block, Manawatu. MESSRS. lIALCOMBE & SHERWHLL have received instructions from tho Directors of the Emigrant and Colonists' Aid Corporation to sell by Public Auction, at Feildins, on " WEDNESDAY, tho 2(itli MARCH, 1879, Fivo Hundred Hoctions, comprising over 10,000 acres, being Village, Town, Suburban, and Rural lands, in Sections varying from a Quarter-acre to 500 Acres, thus offering opportunities for profitable investment to allClasscs—to Tradesmen, to Laborers of every description, to farmers wishing to mako homes in this prosperous settlement; and especially to Saw-millers and Bushmen desirous of reaping a golden harvest from the Wanganui Timber Trade. Tho following are the several Properties which will be offered for sale 1.—9000 acres Rural Land, in 41 sections, varying from 50 to 500 acres. _ This magnificent tract of country is the pick of the Manchester Block. It lies all in the Valley of the Orowa, is very level, is very well watered by several permanent creeks and by the Orowa River; yet no part of it is flooded, nor has it an acre of swamp It lies within 2i miles of Mi ling, and within 2 miles of the railway. It is connected by a good metalled road running right through ir, with tho town of I'icldin* and the new town of 'Vlshhurst" on the Jfanawatu Gorge. Many of the sections are covered with very light bush, chielly tawn ; several, on the other hand are very heavily timbered, with a largo proportion of totara, and are as line sawmill sites as could be desired. Except with regard to the totara land, purchasers will have the choice of taking up any of these lands on lease, with right of purchase, on very easy terms. ll.—The Corporation portion of tie new town of "Ashurst." comprising 190 , acres, divided into 342 sections. °

This is a sister tov/n to Feilding and Halcombe. The town itself and the country round is being dealt with in the way of bona fuh settlement and roadmalting in precisely the same way as Feilding and Halcoiubc. Investors may therefore confidently look forward to a similar success to that which has attended those who were so fortunate as to he the first investors in those towns. " ylslihurst" is now connected with with Feilding by fa a good metalled road running direct through the Manchester Block. It is on the main coach road from Palmersion to Napier. The main railway line from Wanganui to Napier runs through the heart of it. The traffic from a very large portion of the Manchester Block, and from nearly the whole of the Wanganui Harbour Board Endowment Block, must converge upon this town, and meet the railway at tnis point, and as, in addition to the road lines completed, other roads arc now being rapidly opened in several directions from it, " Ashhurst" must be the central depot of an enormous timber tiade there being more totara in its neighbourhood than anywhere else in the Manawatu. This town is the centre of the operations of the Corporation now, and must continue to bo so for the next three or four years, independently of its importance as a convenient centre for a very large area of country, " dshhurst," from its proximity to the Gorge and to the meeting of the waters of the I'ohanguia andManawatu Divers, is most interesting and picturesque, and as has been frequently observed by travellers in the Napier coach when passing through," It seems specially designed by nature for the site of an important town." Ill'—Thirty Suburban Sections of Halcombe, comprising 381) acres, the sections varying in size from 5 to 40 acres. ;iln« block of suburban sections lias been hitherto reserved from sale, It lies on the boundary of the town itself, within half a mile of the railway station, and is opened by a goodmeialled road running right through it. The whole of this block is covered with good timber, either for sawing splitting or for firewood;; and as this is the nearest available 1 ush to Eangitikci and Waliganui the timber on these sections has a special value independently of the land, which both for position and quality can hardly be surpassed. These sections would be an admirable investment for any working man. IV.—The Corporation portion of the Town . of Cheltenham, containing 3D town and 5 suburban sections. This is a reserved block on the Kimbolton Road, on the boundaries of the Manchester and Kiwitea Blocks. It is about S miles from Feilding. The town sections mostly front on the Kimbolton lioad, which is the main road from Feilding to the interior, and is made ami metalled from Feilding through this town and some miles beyond. The town sections now offered are quite equal, if not not superior, in position to those which at the sale of the other part of the town a week ago realised from £3O to £l2O the quarteracre. On the suburban sections which lie along the Kiwitea Stream are to be found some of the finest clumps of totara in the country. One large sawmill is now being erected two miles north of this town, and Cheltenham must be the centre ot a large timber trade, which the extension of the Kimbolton lload is rapidly developing. V—The Village of Stamvay, The Village comprises 2-1 small sections. It is situated at the junclion of the Stanway mul Makino roads, two of the main metalled roads on the Manchester Block. The whole of the country round this village being occupied, an opportunity 13 offered by the subdivision and sale of this reserve for the saw-mill or other laborers about to make a convenient freehold for themselves. The land is clear of hush, and as the village of Stanway is at tlio junction of three metalled roads, leading to Halcombo, Feilding, and Marton, it is n favorable situation for a store, a blacksmith's shop, a carpenter, and a few other tradesmen. Plans of the several Blocks may bo obtained from C. P. I'owlks, Hunter-street, Wellington; or, if applied for by post or telegraph, to Messrs Hai.comuk and Sher. will, Feilding, will bo forwarded by first post, free, to any part of the Colony,
