AWAKE ASHBURTON!
TO THE EDITOE. Sib,—l would respectfully oall your attention to the Borough of Ashburton—very good to look upon, mark you, but very quiet and Tory still, There is no hustle or bustle—the sun shines, the wind blows, or the rain descends—but there is no impression made; the sap of life seems to have been removed from the place. One goes into the shops—he is alone, no other buyer is there ; he Icoks strangely round, and likely enough from the background arises an assistant, and gazes with twitoheyes and unsteady hands at the unwonted apparition. Enough of this, though, sir; can you tell me what has caused such a miserable plight m a fair oity. Somebody whispers sinistroualy, " Carnival Week ! Races ! Exhibition ! Show ! dontchernow " ; but surely this has nothing to do with the business of the town. What then is the matter ? Can you enlighten me, Mr Editor P PLIMSOLIi.
