Harbor Redivivus.

[TO THE EDITOR. I Sib, —The harbor bungle is most intensely comical, and as it seems we may as well lie down as to attempt to do anything to clear it up, do you not think we might make the beet of the comic side ? We have all the materia), scenery, characters, dramatis personas, or whatever else yoq like to call it. All we want is a Gilbert-Sullivan to give effect to the thing. But if tfiis were thought of, though, I would suggest that Mr Graham’s sermon explanation should be brought in to represenflH a deeping scene, from which the members ofy the Board would suddenly wake up, stare and ramp like those fellows in Milton’s Paradise Lost, and generally to kick up a " holy shindy," as they call it. Then the lawyers must be called in, much learning should be shown, and then the whole thing might wind up with a farce representing the general position. What do you think of the idea ?— Yours, etc., Fancy. [We give our correspondent’s ideas for what they are worth. The subject is a rather serious one for joking on, but there is no reason why “ Fancy ” or anyone should get in the "dumps” over it, — Rd.)
