BLIGHTED ENTERPRISE.

TO THE EDITOR, Sir,—Lowe ah apology to yout corres- ■ pondent " Vigil." There to in Maßtertoh just enough energy to enable him to reply to ray letter, and I had thought'there was nqt any, J take exception 'to hjs likening the "blighted enterpiugJ;' T 'to tfte deoaying'vegetable's of his bome-wliera-"ever that" may be, \That is simply unmitigated rot. Neither can I agree with him that " effort uaeil and money spent" in these local industry attacks of St. Vitus is stored up for future use. What , say the shareholders of the Woollen Faotory Y abont the money spent, now that there'ifl'a"call made on them ? I think "Vigil's" theory, "that what ten men sow a hundred reap" .holds good only".. when it is reversed, As to our inactivity resulting, from caution, we,,are not all Scotch, and if the sort of caution exhibited-' nowhiid been in vogue juqt before this generation a good many of :, iis would nil havebeenbqrn, so cautious areola; -Theal' lusion to factory bubbles and strengthening our tcadeheford eßtablishiug companies seems to me an -incongruous mixture, What would put more 'Btferigth into trade than a few good local industries tlfwe do not soon initiate'-somo the town' will 'live nothing Jo keep, it progressing) The people.'that T ''V|giltVaJsig(j' duj for wool and.CQmeliqmo shorn must' hare gone out when a oertain individual was shearing his hogs. In.cqncluaipn, I.don'fc think a' commission from the Borough Council could awaken such a sleepy-lot. lam&o., ... . ■ Ennui. P.S.—I have not gone to Greytown because no one, in the place has energy enough to pay my fare.
