PROPOSED BUSH TO SOUTHLAND.
We are afraid the Rcfityiont. will rouse the ire of our Southland contemporaries. Eh actually has the audaulfcy topolce fan ail the InvercargiU, papers and the harbour. It says : If the never ending '' pmT' of liUiAw/A. htntt Tm«» were worth anything. Snnth* land would now ho overrun with » population greater than- the rest of JiW Jfeafnnd. yet it remains a t"rm iin'ityiuha to thouand U still a terror to hundreds Th« Trrnva in in its latest,. sa*i* :—lt timr wiis true that P.luff Hnrl.nur was p, dangerous one,. for. on the contrary. it rs acknowledged by all nautical men whofiavo taken vessel's there to to naturally an incomparably safer liar boar than either fort Chalmers or Fort Lyltetcon, and ts gen«ralty considered by experts a» second only to* Wellington- in the wholo of ?v:w Zealand. The climate iiprt was an unhealthy one. for the official masteries *>{ births- and deaths are here to spcafe for themselves. What the people are iikev and what, the trade- is worth, we- can leave visiters and e- mmm-hit travellers- to say. So far as nttr railwayn are eoßeerned, the .Otwetnmenii timi -tables- wilt very soon satisfy anyone that the trains are as fast a» any in the Colony, whilst the *>trteiat Imports show that the accidents are as f«vr a»'i» any district." Thenr, then, at nttr - " happy land." which for eenfcur'ei v. e have butts searching for, "far, far away." Let us migrate. Thn Albion sails to-day—passengers by the train. See advertisement.
