HALCOMBE & SHERWELL have received instructions from the Directors "£ the Emigrant ami Colonists' Aid Corporation to sell by Public Auction, at Feilding, on WEDNESDAY, the 2fith MARCH, 1870, Fivo Hundred Sections, comprising over 10,000 acres, being Village. Town, Suburban, and liural lands, iu Sections varying from a Quarter-acre to 500 Acres, thus offering opportunities for profitable investment to all Classes—to Tradesmen, to Laborers of every description, to farmers wishing to make homes in this prosperous settlement; and especially to Saw-millers and Bushmen desirous of. reaping a golden harvest from the Wangaum Timber Trade,

The following arc the several Propevtic which will be oll'ered for sale 1.-9000 sieves Rural Laud, in 41 sections varying from 50 to 500 acres, This magnificent tract of country ;s th pick of the Manchester Block. It lies all ii fhe Valley of the Orowa, is very level, i very well watered by several pennauen creeks and by tlic Orowa River; yet no par of it is flooded, nor lias it an acre of swamp It lies within 2.} miles of Feihing, auc within 2 miles of the railway. It is eon nected by a good metalled road running right through ir, with the town of Neldinj mid the new town of 'Mshlmrst" on the Manawatn Gorge. Jlany of the sections an covered with very light bush, chiefly tawa several, on the other hand are very heavilj timbered, with a large proportion of totara, and are as fine sawmill sitc3 as could be desired. Except with regard to the tbtara land, purchasers will have the choice of taking up any of these lands on lease, with rioht of purchase, on very easy terms, 11.-The Corporation portion of the new town of "Ashurst." comprising I'JO acres, divided info i) 42 sections. This is a sister town to Feilding and Halcombe. The town itself and the country round is being dealt with in the way of bona Jhk settlement and roadmaking in precisely the same way as Feilding and Halcombe. Investors may therefore confidently look forward to a similar success to that which lias attended those who were so fortunate as to be the first investors in those towns. " liurst" is now connected with with Feilding by 'a a good metalled road running direct through the Manchester Block. It is on the main coach road from I'almmton to Napier. The main railway line from Wanganni to Napier runs through the heart of it. The traffic from a very large portion of the Manchester Block, mid from nearly the whole of the AYanganui Harbour Board Endowment Block, must converge upon this town, and meet the railway at this point, and as, in addition to the road lines completed, other roads are now being vapidly opened in several directions from it, " Ashlmrst" must bo the central depot of an enormous timber tiade, there being more totara in its neighbourhood than anywhere else in the Manawatn. This town is the centre of the operations of the Corporation now, and must continue to be so for the nest three or four years. Independently of its importance as a convenient centre for a very large area of country, "•Mhurst," from its proximity to the Gorge and to the meeting of the waters of the Pohanguia and Manawatn Rivers, is most interesting and picturesque, and as has been frequently observed by travellers in the Napier coach when passing through," It seems specially designed by nature for the site of an important town." ■III.—-Thirty Suburban Sections of Halcombe, comprising 389 acres, the sections varying in sizo from 5 to 40 acres, This Week of suburban sections has been hitherto reserved from sale. It lies on the boundary of the town itself, within half a mile of the railway station, and is opened by a good metalled road running right through it. The whole of this block is covered with good timber, either for sawing splitting or for firewood; ; and as this is the nearest available bush to Itangitikci and Wahganui the timber on these sections has a special value independently of the land, which both for position and quality can hardly be surpassed. These sections would he an admirable investment for any working man. IV.—The Corporation portion of the Town of Cheltenham, containing 81) town and 5 suburban sections. This is a reserved block on the Kimholton ltoad, on the boundaries of the Manchester and Kiv.itea Blocks, It is about 8 miles fromFeilding, The town sections mostly front on

the Kimbolton ltoad, which is the main road from Feililing to the interior, ami is made iuul metalled from Mding through this town and some miles beyond. The town sections now offered are quite equal, if not not superior, in position to those which nt the sale of the other part of the town a week ago realised from £3O to £l2O the quarteracre. On the suburban sections which lie along the Kiwitca Stream arc to be found some of the finest clumps of totara in the country. One largo sawmill is now being erected two miles north of this town, and Cheltenham must be the centre of a large timber trade, which the extension of the Kimbolton Road is rapidly developing.

V. —The Village ofStamvay, The Village comprises 2-1 small sections. It is sifcuatcd at the junction of tlie Stanway ami Makino roads, tiro of the main metalled roads on the Manchester Block. The whole of the country round this village l being occupied, an opportunity iB offered "by the subdivision and sale of this reserve for the saw-mill or other laborers about to make a convenient freehold for themselves. The land is clear of bush, and as the village of Stamvay is at the junction of three metalled roads leading to Halcombe, Mding, and Marton, it is» favorable situation for a store, a blacksmith's shop, a carpenter, and a few other tradesmen.
