BETnUNE & HUNTER will offer for sale by public auction at the Exchange, on Tuesday, tho Ist December, 1868, at 2 o'clock, if not proviously sold by private contract. That first-class Run in tho Whareama district, known as Buxton's, situated at a distance of ninety milea from Wellington, twenty mile3 from Masterton, and fourteen miles from Castle Point, adjoining the run occupied by tho Rev. J. O. Andrew, and on the main road to Napier and Auckland, containing about 25,000 acres of land, 18,000 of which are freehold ; hounded on the east side by the Whareamu river, on tho west by Crown land, on the north by Mr Groves' station, and on the south by the Mangapokia river, and Mr Cameron's freehold land. This fine run has excellent natural boundaries, and could be entirely enclosed at a very trifling cost ; a considerable portion consists of splendid flats and blocks of tho richest agricultural land, capable of growing heavy crops of grain, the residue is composed of gentle hills and slopes admirably adapted for sheep walks. There is abundance of timber in tho neighborhood, and the country is intersected with natural boundaries, so that the run could easily bo divided into largo paddocks. This estate could bo easily and advantageously divided up, and laid off as a small farm settlement, there being a splendid site for a township near the centre of tho run. The population in tho districts is increasing rapidly, and there is no doubt that town allotments, convenient suburban sections, and moderate-sized farms would sell readily at remunerative prices. There is an excellent dwelling-house, outbuildings for farm servants, dairy, cow-shed, stockyard, substantial woolshed and sheep pens on the estuto, and upwards of 300 acres of land enclosed and divided into convenient paddocks, all well grassed. Tho stock, comprising about 5000 sheep, 100 head of cattle, and a few horses, can be taken by tho purchaser of tho run at their fair market value. At present tho station is not nearly stocked, as it is capable of carrying at least three timeß the number now upon it. A largo portion of the purchase money may remain on mortgage for a term of years, at the current rate of interest. For further particulars, apply to Mr Buxton, at the station, Whareama, or at the office of tho auctioneers, Wellington. Erohango Buildings, Wellington, 28th July, 1868.
