THE RIVERTON HARBOUR.
TO THE EDITOR. Snt,—l sec by your issue of the 4th inst. ‘•'Jack Tar” is improving under my nrcacription as bo is now able to see that the frost is keeping the water in our harbour as smooth as a mill pond. As I thonght oil along it was a case of blindness, I accordingly prescribed for same. Now, as he is inclined to pet up on an Eiffel tower a thousand fathoms high, and not being certain of him being a real “Jack Tar” as yet, f would recommend him to tako a double dose of Holloway’s Pills this time, and two dips a week in the real salt briny. I think that will cure him. The above patients are always liable to seeing symptoms of electric light and inclined to bo poetical, and imagine they see unearthly goblins. But of course whc-i ho is cured and gets to bo a real “ Jack Tar ” he may still see “ The Flying Dutchman.'’ I cannot cure him of that.—l am, &c., WlliL-o’-TKE-WlSr.
