DANGERS OF LONDON STREETS.—Between six and
seven o'clock on Friday last, Mr. Rees, of Dennett-road
Peckham, was robbed of upwards of £2OO, on, his way home

been pre-arranged, and was carried out by persons who had
made themselves acquainted with Mr. Rees's habits, and had
followed him from the Bank on the day of the robbery.
Unfortunately, £l5O was in gold, but the other portion,
which was in paper, may lead to the detection of the
thieves. Between forty and fifty cases of daring highway
robbery have now occurred in South London within the
last two or three weeks, and it is time some great improve-
ments were made in the police arrangements of the dis-
trict.
JEFFIIEYS AND THE FIDDLER.—Though Jeffreys
delighted in music, he does not seem to have held its pro-
fessors in high esteem. In the time of Charles 11., musical
artists of the humbler grades liked to be styled " musi-
tioners ;" and on a certain occasion, when he was sitting
as Recorder for the city of London, George Jeffreys was
greatly incensed by a witness who, in a pompous voice,
called himself a musitioner. With a sneer the recorder in-
terposed—" A musitioner ! I thought you were a fiddler!"
".I am a musitioner," the violinist answered stoutly. "01,
indeed !" croaked Jeffreys. " This is very important
"'highly important—extremely important ! And pray, _
Witness, what is the difference between a musitioner
and
a fiddler 2" With fortunate readiness the man answered,

fishing season, which has just closed in Cumberland, is
pronounced by the Carlisle Journal to have been the best
experienced in that county for many years. Anglers
have caught as many as three or four fine salmon in one
day in the Eden, and in the Derwent equally good sport
has been afforded to the rod fishers. The rivers are now
swarming with breeding fish, and with careful watch-
ing a still greater improvement in the fishing may he an-
ticipated for next year.

ANCIENT CUSTOM AT THE BURIAL OF A HUNTS-
MAN.—SeveraI correspondents have written to inquire
about the origin of the custom of burying the ears of a
favourite horse in the grave of a deceased huntsman. It
is said that the horse " Comus," given by Charles Davis
by the Prince of Wales, was shot the day previously to
the funeral of the Queen's huntsman ; but it is probable
that only a valueless horse was killed in order to provide
the ears for burial. The custom is an old and barbarous
we, and scarcely anything is known of its history. In
alluding to the subject, the "Damn de Bonchose" says, " I
assume them (the ears) to be the truo indicator of the
horse's powers, the link of communication between him-
self and rider ; by them ho expresses himself in many
ways—temper, strength, courage, &c. They are the only
part wholly visible to the huntsman. To keep his eye on
them and between them gives the perfection of balance
and seat. They are the guide to honours." The Baron
seems to be enlightened by his idea; but we are still in
the dark as to the origin of the custom—a practice?, more
