THE TOWN OF LINCOLN, IN THE LINCOLN DISTRICT Township in the largest Agricultural District? in the Province.

MESSRS. J. OLLIVIER AND SON Have been favored with instructions to sell by public auction, at their Rooms, Cashel and High streets, at an early date, THE Quarter-acre Sections applied for in the Town of Lincoln. ' When the Canterbury Settlement was first tyid out by Captain Thomas, a site was set apart for a town in that large and 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 becomes jieopled and occupied, the original plan of Captain Thomas has been revised, and the Town of Lincohi 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, to wards the Peninsula Hills It is situated on good dry land, lying on botl sides of the valley, which is at this place abou_ twenty feet deep, having a beautiful stream of clear and delicious water running rapidly at th bottom. Two Public roads meet at the stream, and run nto one at the bridge which will form a handsome object in the centre of the Town, having clustered around it the reserves for Churches, Schools, Market-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 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 laud 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 for business, while a country Inn a Store, a Butcher's and a Baker's shop would also find abundant Custom. The close neighbourhood of the Mill will create a good market for flour iv the Town. But alove all this, the Town will be amply supplied with firewood, and building materials. The Lowei Lincoln Road which runs through the centre of the Town passes through the swamp, and crossing the river Halswefl reaches the base of he Hills at about three miles 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 mmediately by the Government. It may be added that the Little River Railway, about to be commenced will run little more than a mile from Lincoln, so that a short branch 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 tbat no site can be found in the whole of this large district which contains the Bame advantages of dry, healthy situation, rising well above the Bwamp, excellent water and abundant supply of building materials, ano which lies in the main thoroughfare through the Principal Agricultural District in the Province.
