Mr Teas slltrey.
tlonaieem, July 2d, 1883.
To the Pwlitor of T1s Huron teasel.
My attention has been directed to
two effusions from Winnipeg, that ap-
peared in your last issue, and in which
sup nine has received conspicso men-
tion. 1 have been induced by them to
revert to the remarkable interview. that
hu excited the ire of these Western cor-
respondents, and as I note its peculiar
details, his improbable situations, its
supernatural ideas, and its glaring u oun-
sisteneies, I am completely aswan ed,
that two gentlemen of the law should
be so easily deceived, ea to put any faith
in the genuineness of the article, as they
evidently do. The whole affair was a
burlesque, pure and simple, and the
facts that toy first intimation of the in-
terview was its appearaucu in Tui Sto-
NAL, and that I had but a very brief
conversation with the ourrespondent, in
cumpauy with others, and in which no
such expressions or sentiments as I am
credited with were uttered, is sufficient
proof of this. I have numbers of 'nettle
w Winnipeg and the prairie province,
for wham I have too high an estimation,
to wilfully misrepresent to its disadvan-
tage the oountry in which their Iota are
cast. When I think it necessary to
give to the public my opinion of the
North-west, I shall.du so in a leas sensa-
tional but .nore rational style, without
resorting to middle -men, and over the
signature appended below. I would
have contradicted the report of the pre-
tended interview ere this, had 1 thought
there were any endowed with sufficient
gullibility to suppose it genuine, and even
now, with the letters of the "Mad Win-
nipegers " before me, I cannot but think
that they were produced, not because of
any belief in the genuineness of the arti-
cle, but because the random shote of the
pseudo -reporter found sumo vulnerable
pots. So much for the interview. I
have a few words to say regarding the
tone of the Winnipev communications.
I have learned that Mr. Seager, at let
prior to his departure for the West, was
considered a gentleman. His western
education has apparently done its work,
and done it well, u evinced by his
choice English and choicer epithets.
The readiness and ease with which " un
mitigated liar " flows from his remarka-
ble pen is equalled only, I should juige,
by the readiness with which the " cheap
and potent intoxicants," he so naturally
enlar es on in the next breath, would
flow down -his equally remarkable throat,
Had I the advantages of a protracted
western experience and a frontier vo-
cabulary, I would say that the " Old
Goderich Boy" is a acontemptibde whelp,
whose thickness of skull has led him into
slaking, ever the signature of a respecta-
ble
glass, statements he dart► -nut over
hisi*n; and that Mr. Seager is either a
neteriousblockhead, whose conceptive fa-
cultiesaretaxed to their utmost in inform-
ing their possessor when he is hun, ry
and that he should go lute the hen -e
when it rains, or a mixture of the me .t-
ern cra.ie and dude, whose chief tu.us
are publicity and notoriety, at whatever
cost. But I must refrain, my knowledge
of Billingsgate being unequal to the oc-
casion. I will say nothing here concern-
ing Winnipeg or,Maniteba. Time and
space will not permit, and my impres-
sions of these places are my own. How-
ever, as far as Huron and its people are
concerned, I entirelyagree with the Win-
nipeg writers, and atm proudtuknow,that
amongst the number from Ontario who
hive succeeded in the West, the Huron-
ites have occupied an ample share of the
loading places.
And, by the way. Mr. Editor, I had
almost forgotten to refer to a Mr. Gil-
roy, who has ledged his complaint with
the St',. I trade inquiries concerning
this gentieman, ,end met with but a
small measure of success. The parties
of whom I made inquiries were about
equally divided in their opinions, as to
whether he was the int-ontor ref Gilroy's
kite, a land shark, ger a noted insurance
agent, and from the variety of these
ideas, i cntife to the conclusion, that be
was "reallyandtruly nobody at all,' and
as nobodies were not my game, I con-
cluded to give him a severe letting alone,
hoping he trill see this copy .,f TMs
S1CNAL, and relieve fila wounded feelings
by a perusal of the facts herein stated.
Thanking you, sir, for the space
allotted to this. an.l hoping that your
paper will be issued as usual. notwith-
standing the elimination of part „f its
title in the mire' of the " Old (Ju tench
Boy.'
I remain,

HARBOR COMMITTEE'S RIPORT.
We had before us the rules and regu-
lations for the government of the wharf
and commercial docks, made under order
of the Governor-General in Council, also
the several Acta of Parliament relating
to the appointment of harbormasters and
heir duties.
We find that since the harbor tolls
have beon abolished but few rulesremain
in force. The Governor -in -Council, how-
ever, has power to make, rescind, modi-
fy, or alter rules and regulations for the
use and management of harbors.
We would recommend that the Minis-
ter of Marine and Fisheries be requested
to make further rules and regulations re-
specting Goderich Harbor. We think
no change is required in rules Nos. 1, 2,
6, 8 and 12. The word "wharfinger" in
Nos. 9 and 10 should be changed to
"harbor master."
There should also be rules made giving
the control of vessels and the placing of
thous at the docks to the harbor master.
Alae oompefing the ''sera of the docks to
have the locks cleaned up and removing
Of any debris after the unloading of a
vetwl, and the repairing of any damage
done ; and toe harbor master to have full
power to enforce the rules and regula-
tions made.
According to requeat of Council we are
having four notices painted on bonnie,
stating that no tolls are now payable at
Goderich harbor on merchandise.
