THE BRUCE WOOLLEN FACTORY.

TO THB EDITOR, Rabbits young and rabbits old, , Rabbits hot and rabbits cold, Rabbits tender and rabbits tongb, 01 rabbits I've had enough. Well done, " Veritss I" Your note of warning re our rashness is starting s wooilen mill in Milton is dnly to hand, but whether the people of Milton will appreciate your warning cry will very shortly be seen. " Veritas " will find that tlr* people of Mil to v ar<« not co easily frightened as he may think. We are pretty well acquaint with his sort: we have one or two of them residing with us, and we do not think much of them. They are of the class that Robert Barus so graphically depicts in his "Holy Willies Prayer" :—

But, Lord, remember me and mine, Wi' mercies'temp'ral and divine, That I for gear and grace may shine, Excell'd by nane ; An' a' the glory shall be thine. Amen, amen. May I ask " Veritaa " haß it been men of his calibre that have made Great Britain the great country it now is ? Judgiug from what iwaa embodied in your loader of the 10th insb. it is men of bis sort thxt are likely to do Great Britain a great deal of harm. '■ YeriUs" very carefully pointed out the various woollen mills that have been started in (ho country acd have disappointed the promoters. Well, as to that I've known aa much about it ss " Veritss " doeo, and perhaps more, because we know the reason why they have not proved a success; therefore we have carefully guarded against anything of the kind taking place with the Bruce Woollen Company. I cau truthfully state that never has a woollori company been started in the colony with so many advantages as the Brace Woollen Company has, and unless something very extraordinary takes place it should prove- almost an unparalleled success to the enterprising promoters and s'mreholders. Go ahaad Bruce ! More power to your elbow.— | I am, &c., Milton. Sept. U Jobs Mackay.
