WEDNESDAY, 26in MARCH, 1879. BEAT Rural, Suburban, Town, and Village Lands, in the Feilding Settlement, Manchester . Block, Manawatu. MESSRS. HALCOMBE & SHEIWELL have received instructions from the Directors of the Emigrant and Colonists' Aid Corporation to soil by Public Auction, at Feilding, on WEDNESDAY, the 2Gtb MARCH, 1879, Fivo Hundred Sections, comprising over 10,0(10 acres, boing Village. Town, Suburban, and Rural lands, in Sections varying from a Quarter-acre to 500 Acres, thus offering opportunities for profitable investment to all Classes—to Tradesmen, to Laborers of every description, to fanners wishing to make homes in this prosperous settlement j and especially to Saw-millers and Bushmen desirous of reaping a golden harvest from the Wangauni Timber Trade. The following are tho several Properties wliich will be oll'ered for sale 1.—9000 acres Rural Land, in 41 sections, varying from 50 to 500 acres. This magnificent tract of country is the Bid: of the Manchester Block. It lies all in the Valley of tho Orowa, is very level, is very well watered by several permanent creeks and by the Orowa River; yet no part of it is ilooded. nor has it an acre of swamp. It lies within 2} miles of Feiluing, and within ?. miles of the railway. It is connected by a good metalled road running right through ir, with the town of Fielding and tho new town of " jlslilmrst" on the Manawatu Gorge. Many of the sections tire covered with very light bush, chiefly tawa aeveval, on the other hand are very heavilj timbered, with a large proportion of totara, and are as line sawmill sites as could be desired. Except with regard to tho totara land, purchasers will have the choice of taking np any of these lands on lease, with right f'f purchase, on very easy terms, ll,—Tho Corporation portion of the new . town of "Ashurst." comprising 190 acres, divided into 342 sections. This is a sister town to Feilding and Halcombo. The town itself and tho country round is being dealt with in the way of lona fuk settlement and roadmaking in precisely tho same way as Feilding and Halcombe. Investors may therefore confidently look forward to ft similar success to that which lias attended those who were so fortunate as to be the first investors in thoso towns. hurst" is now connected with with Feilding by a n good metalled road, running direct through tho Manchester Block. It is on the main coach road from Palmerston 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, aud from nearly tho whole of the "VPanganui Harbour Board Endowment Hock, must converge upon this town, and meet the railway at this point, and as, in addition to tho 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 .ti ado, 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 be so for the next three or four years, independently of its importance ai; a convenient centre for a very large area of country, "Ashhurst," from its proximity to the Gorge and to the meeting of the waters of the Pohanguia and Manawatu Rivers, is most interesting aud 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." lll.—Thirty Suburban Sections of Halcombe, comprising 359 acres, the sections varying in size from 5 to 40 acres. .G

This 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 coodmetalled road running right through it. The. whole of this block is covered with good timber, cither for sawing splitliug or for firc.vood;; and as this is the nearest available' bush to Hangitikoi and Wahganui the timber on these sections lias a special value independently of tlio land, which both for position and quality cm hardly be surpassed. These sections would be an admirable investment for any working man. IV,—The Corporation portion of the Town of Cheltenham, containing 89 town and 5 suburban sections. This is a 1 reserved block on the Kimbolton Koad, on the boundaries of the Manchester and Kiwitea Blocks, It is isbont 8 miles from Feilding. The town sections mostly front on the Kimbolton Koad, which is the main road from Feilding to the interior, and is made and metalled from Feilding through this town and some miles beyond. The town sections now offered are quite equal, if not noi superior, in position to those which at the sale of the other part of the torn a week ago realised from £!10 to £l2O the quiiiicracre. On the suburban sections which lie along the Kiwitea Stream arc to be found some of the finest clumps of totara in the nun try. One lar;;e sawmill is now being ticc.kd two miles north of this town, and Cheltenham must be the centre of p large timber trade, which the extension of the Kimbolton Road is rapidly developing. V. —The Village ofStanway, The Village comprises 2-1 small sections. It is situated at the junction of the Stanway and Makiuo roads, two of the main metalled roads on the Manchester Block. The whole of the country round this village being occupied, an opportunity is offered by tho subdivision and sale of this reserve for tha saw-mill or other laborers about to make a convenient freehold for themselves. The land is clear of bush, and as the village of Stanway is at the junction of three metalled roads leading to Halcumbe, Feilding, and Marton, it is »favorable sitxiation 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 llalcojibe and Siren. will, Feilding, will be forwarded by first post, free, to any part of the Colony, TEEMS OF SALE. 1.

The lands newly opened and offered for sale are quite equal in position and quality to any other
