Township in the largest Agricultural District in the Province. JIfESSRS. J. OLLIYIEK $ SOX Have been favored with instructions to sell by public auction, at their Rooms, Cashel and High streets, at an early date, THK QuAHTiiU-AciiE Sections applied for in the TOWN OF LINCOLN. "Whon thf Canterbury Settlement was first laid out by Captain Thomas, a site was set apart for a town in that large aud rich agricultural district which lies in the angle between Banks' Peninsula and Lake Ellesmere. The Government having abandoned the intention of making a town for this district, and the necessity for a town becoming daily more apparent, as the country beco'mea peopled 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 proprietors. 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, ly.ng on both sides of the valley, which is at this place about twenty feet deep, having a beautiful stream p) clear aud delicious water running rapidly at the bottom. Two Public roads meet at the stream, and run into one at the bridge which will form a handsome object in the centre of the Town, having clnstpred around it the reserves for Churches. Schools, Market-place, and Gourt 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 inhabitants. At-a very short distance below the Town, a Flour Mill will shortly be erected, on the same stream. 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 exosUent opening for business, while a country Inn a Store, a Butcher's and a Baker's shop would also find abundant Custom. The closo neighbourhood of the Mill will create a good market for flour in the Town. But alove all this, the Town will be amply supplied with firewood, and building materials. The Lowei L ; nooln Road which runs through the centra of the Town passes through the swamp, and crossing the river Hals well reaches the base of he Hills at about throe iuiiua distance from LINCOLN, which is thus placed within four mile of the extensive forests of the Peninsula. The money for opening this road is already Voted, and the work is about to be undertaken mmediatoly by the Government. j It may be added that the Little River Railway, about to be commenced will run little mou than a mile from Lincoln, so that a short brand, line will connect it with the forests of the Little River, on the one side, and with the market in the City of Christchurch, on the other. It may be said that no site can be found in the whole of this large district which contains the same advantages of dry, healthy situation, rising well above the swamp, excellent water, and abundant supply of building materials, and which liea in the main thoroughfare through the Principal Aquioultdral District in thk Province. " j Upset price —£l2 per quarter acre. Lota applied for will be submitted to public auction iioin time to time, and if there is no further advance will be declared sold to the applicant.
