HAVE heard persons who ought to ! know remark that “Rome was not built in a day,” nor, for that matter, was Ashburton, notwithstanding that ' the latter has been called a “jumped-up town.” 1 don’t believe the site of Ash burton will revert to a sheep-walk again quite so soon as some people imagine, and it’s being jumped upon in this way won’t hinder its advancement: in the least.
