Embosomed " amongst the everlasting hills," it possesses a charming climate, where the gentle zephyr blows soft, and not the blustering breezes of Wellington. It has many means of acceaa. A pleasant walk of half an hour along either the old Kaiwarrarood or tbo Wadestown-road, or a few minutes' ride in the cars of the Wellington and Manawatu Railway, will land yon in the suburb— it being as easy to reach Crofton on foot or by rail aa it ia to reach Newtown by tbo tramway. First-class metalled roads run through and surround Crofton, and honeehold necossarios are delivered in every part of tho euburb at Wellington prices. Crofton has always possessed a special charm in its wealth of Ferns and beautiful Nativo Bush, giving a pictnresque attraction to its wonderful rural walks. From the top of the Crow's Nest and the Kaka Hill, within hali-an-hour's walk, the most magnificent panoramic view can be obtained, Nelson, Motueka, and the snow-capped peak of Mount r gmont being plainly disoernible. Few Wellington residents have any conoeption of the manifold Bcenic beauties that lie within a few minutes' walk of the onchanting Buburb of Crofton. Mr. Littlojobn's property, which is now being submitted for sale by publio auction in , consequence of his increasing weak health, has long been known as tbo best in the charming suburb.

Adjacent to the residenco ia the Coaoh-houao, Stable (two stalls), Dairy, Cow-house, Granary, Coal-house, Toolhouse, Photographic Dark-room, Fowlbouse, &c , &c,, Ac Tho residence facea the north-west and has a specially healthy situation, getting the eun from the earliest rising to its setting. Speoial pains have been taken with the water supply to the residence and out offices. A magnificent spring runs into a nowly-constnicted cement reservoir, and is conveyed from there by pipes to the house and through it. There is also a well with force pnmp. The whole of the grounds surrounding the house have been cultivated and planted with groat care. The lawn in front is furnished with beautiful ornamental trees, shrubs, and flowers, while a well-filled orchard of about half an aore, vegetable garden, and grass paddooks make together a charming tout ensemble. The residence has two approaches, one from the railway station, distant three minutes' walk, and the other along a beautiful avenue abutting on to the main road, from whioh Wellington can be reached in 25 minutes.
