FOR SALE FOR SETTLEMENT. AREA OF 40RICU THPAL LAND OPFTK K«>»f SALE IN SOI ? TH!.AND. 50,015 acres 35,1)00 acres Under Deferred Payments For Direct Ptm'hrv-e Lind coveied with Bash, which, when cleared, is of superior quality for Agriculture ... 300.00't acres The price of deferred payment land is 25s and 30a an acre. The land is from 20 tr.ilei ncrth to 16 miles ■oath of the latitude of the month of the Taieri River, and is all from 2 to 3S miles to the northward of the Clutha River at its month, Invercargill beinu 3 miles dne sonth of the latitnde of the Clutha, the average height above the sea level being 250 feet. The average quality of tho soil is equal to any in the Australasian Colonies, and from climatic influences is capable of growing not merely excellent 'wheat, but first-class oats and barley, and is peculiarly adapted for raiding turnips and artificial grasses, thereby the farmer to keep his land in perfect heart by a rotation of cropping; manure his landbyfeedingofF-hisgretn crops with sheep and cattle, and ke-p him independent of a had market for any particular cereal. Ail over tho district there is firstclass limestone cropping out to fertilise the land when it may require it. of large extent are scattered over it, providing timbers for building and fencing, and coal (lignite and the best brown coals) for fnel everywhere obtainable. The district is further intersected by railways, which open up the great valleys of Aparima, Oreti, and Mataura Rivers; while a loop line from the Invercargill to Kingston Hallway at Lumsdem runs through the Waimea Plains and joins the Invercargill to Dnnedin main line at Gore, and a line through the Forest Hill District will be constructed shortly. Thus carriage of produce to the seaboard or market is easy and cheap from any part of it ; and timber, lime, and coal, can he distributed all over the country at a minimum coat. The average yield o f cereals per acre, taken frcn the statistics of the Colony for the year* 1573 to IS7S. ' compared with Canterbury, are as follow : The subjoined tables give the average temperature at InveTcr.rgill, Dunedin, and Chrutchurch, the commercial centres of the districts. It may be remarked that Invercargill being situated close to Foveanx Straits is exposed to more rainfall and audden chat; ges the interior of the district, only seven miles due north, where the climate is both drier and warmer, but along the whole seaboard the land is extremely fertile, and much prized for gras3 and root crops. The experience of the last few years leads to the con▼ictionthat for all-round agriculture the npply of rain by no mean 3 exceeds the requirements of the land. This year the thermometer at Invercargill has averaged higher than any part of tae Mifldle Island, most parta of the North Island, while there has been very considerably les3 rainfall in any part of the Colony.

These samples may all be described as fnH-flavored, fruity, aromatic Wines; possessing in a considerable degree that agreeable fragnm ce that characterises genuine Port. They do not contain impurities of any kind. The perfect freeness of these Wines from •very kind of impurity, tha proportion of ■agar and alcohol which they contain being 4{axto characteristic of unadulterated, nnJnanipulated Wine, together with their rich fragrance arising from r.romatic ethers, should strongly recommend them, and gain ■far them a good place in the Colonial market.
