TOWNSHIP IN THE LARGEST AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT IN THE PROVINCE, t MESSRS. J. OLLIVIER & SON have been; favored with instructions to sell by Public j Auction, at their Rooms, Cashel and High streets, ! on . an early date, ■ j , i The Quarter-Acre Sections applied for in the j TOWNSHIP OF LINCOLN. ; When the Canterbury Settlement was first laid: out by Capt. Thomas, a site was set apart a town in that large and rich agricaltural district: which lies in the. angle between Banks Peninsula; and Lake 1 Ejlesmere. The Government having j abandoned the intention of making a town for,this, district,'and this necessity for a town becoming; '•daily mbre' apparent as the country becomes peo-f pled and occupied, the original plan of Captain ; Thomas has been revised and the town of Lincoln; is now laid out and offered for sale by private pro-! prietors. :: .. :v' '' : . The site of the town of Lincoln as now laid out; differing somewhat from that originally proposed,is on the, banks of a stream known as No. 1 Gully,; running from trig., pole 1 in the Lincoln district, towards-the Peninsula hills. It is situated on good | dry land lying on both sides of the valley, which is; at this place about twenty feet deep, having a beau-, tiful stream of clear and delicious water running; rapidly at the bottom. ! Two public roads meet at the stream, and 1 join; ihto one at the bridge, which will form a handsome j objiect in the centre of the town,;having clnsteredj . ; around it the reserves for churches, schools, markets place and court house. A broad terrace is carried! down each side of the stream, and the whole of the; . slope on both sides of the water,,comprising about; eight acres, will be set apart for ever as public; gardens for the use: and enjoyment of the inha-j bitants. ; . . A.t a very/short distance below the town a flour; mill will shortly be erected on the same stream, j Such is the extent of land already in cultivation! in the neighbourhood, and so rapidly are fresh; farms being occupied, that blacksmiths and other, mechanics would already find an excellent opening j for business, while a country inn, a store, a but-j cher's and a baker's shop, would also find abundant custom. The close neighbourhood of the mill will! ' create a good market for flour in the town. I But above all, this town will be amply supplied with firewood and building materials*, the Lower j Lincoln road; which runs, though the centre of; thei. - town,,passes through the swamp, and crossing the j river Halswell, reaches the base of the hills at about j three miles distance from Lincoln, which is thus j placed within four miles of the extensive forests ofj the Peninsula. The money for opening this road] -is already voted, and the work is about to be under-f taken immediately by the Government. It may be adcled that the Little River railway; about to be commenced, will run a little more than; a .mile from .Lincoln, so that a short branch line j i will conriect it with the forests of Little River onj the'one side and with the market in the City ofj Cbristchurch on the other. . [| ..It may be said that no site can be found in thej whole of this large district which contains the: - same advantages of dry healthy situation, rising! well above the swamp, excellent water and abiin-i dant supply of fuel and building materials, and) which lies iu the main thoroughfare through the ' PRINCIPAL AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT in the Province. , Upset Pbice :—£l2 pee Quabteb-Acbe. } Lots applied; for will be submitted to Public; Auction from time to time, and if there is no fur-, ther advance, will be declared sold to the applicant..
