MESSRS, HALCOMBE & SHERWELL have received instructions from the Directors of the Emigrant and Colonists' Aid Corporation to sell by Public Auction, at Feilding, vu WEDNESDAY, .the 2Cth MARCH, 1879, Five Hundred Sections, compiling over 10,000 acres, being Village. Town, Suburban, and Rural lands, in Sections rarying.frora.a Quarter-acre to 500 Acres, thus offering opportunities for profitable investment to allClasses-to Tradesmen, to Laborers of. every description, to farmers wishing to make homes in this prosperous settlement; and especially to Saw-millers and Bushmen desirous ofreaping a golden harvest from the Wimganui Timber Trade. The following are the several Properties which will he offered for. sale 1.—9000 acres Rural Land, in 41 sections, varying from 50 to 500 acrec. This magnificent tract of country is the pick of the Manchester Block, It lies all in the Valley of the Orown, is very lovel, is very well watered by several permanent creeks and by tho Orowa River; yet no part of it is flooded, nor lias it an acre of sivamp, It lies within 2J miles of Feililing, ami within 2 miles of the railway. It fs connected by a good metalled road running right through lr, with the town of Fielding and tho new town of "ylshlmrst" on the Manawatn Gorge. Many of the sections are covered with very light bush, chiefly tatva; several, on the other hand are very heavily timbered, with a large proportion of totara, and are as fine 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, if.—The Corporation portion of the new town of "Ashurst." comprising 190 acres, divided into 342 sections. on

This in a sister town to Feilding and Halcombe. The town itself and the country round is being dealt with in the way of bona fide settlement and roadmaking imprecisely the same way as Feilding and Halcombe. Investors may therefore confidently look forward to a similar success to that which has attended those who were so fortunate as to be the first investors in those towns. '' A shhurst" is now connected with with Feilding by a a good metalled road running direct through the Manchester Block. It is on the main coach road from Pahnerston 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 this point, and as, in addition to the road lines completed, other roads are now being rapidly opened in several directions from it," Aslihurst" must he 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 be so for the next three or four years. Independently of its importance as a convenient centre for a very large area of country, "Mlmrst," from its proximity to the Gorge and to tho meeting of the waters of the l'ohanguia and Manawatu Rivers, 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." lll.—Thirty Suburban Sections of Halcombe, comprising 389 acres, the sections varying in size from fi to 40 acres.

This block of suburban sections has been hitherto reserved from sale. It lies on the boundary of the town itself, within half ft mile of the railway station, and is opened by a goodmetalled 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 avail- ■ able bush to Kangitikei and Wahganui the timber on these sections has a special value independently of the land, which both for position and quality can hardly be sin-passed. These sections would ho an admirable investment for auy working man, IV,—The Corporation portion of the Town of Cheltenham, containing BIJ8 l J 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 8 miles from Feilding. The town sections mostly front on the Kimbolton Road, 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 aections now offered are quite equal, if not not superior, in position to those ivliich at the sale of tho 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 total in the country. One large sawmill is now being erected two miles north of this town, and Cheltenham must be tho centre of a large timber trade, which the extension of the Kimbolton Eoad is rapidly developing. V.—The Village ofStanway, The Village comprises 21 small sections, ° It is situated at tho junction of the Stanway and Makino roads, two of the main metalled roads on tho Manchester Block, The whole of the country round this village being occupied, an opportunity is 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 bush, and as the village of Stanway is at the junction of three metalled roads leading to Halcumbc, Feilding, and Marton, it h a favorable situatiou for a store, a blacksmith's shop, a carpenter, and a few other tradesmen. Plans of the several Blocks may he obtained from C, P. Hunter-street, Wellington; or, if applied for by post or telegraph, to Messrs Haicombe and Sher.
