CAUTION TO BRIGHTON EXCURSIONISTS On
Monday, at the Town-hall, Brighton, five persons were
summoned at the instance of Mr. Inspector Carpenter,
charged respectively with disposing of and purchasing re-
turn excursionist? tickets. The offence was clearly proved
in each case. Mr. Inspector Carpenter produced the tickets
in question, on which was printed the folowing :—" Not
transferable; any person transferring or dealing with this
ticket will be prosecuted. Available only by the excursion
train of this day an I for the person t) whom issued." The
magistrates said the defendants must have known they were
doing wrong, and as a caution to them and others the)
would each have to pay the full penalty of 405., together
with 12s. 6d. costs, and in default of payment to be impn-
coned for one month.
FIRE IN LEATHER•LANE.—Last night, about nine
o'clock, a fire, that at first threatened serious consequences,
broke out upon some premises in the occupation of Mr.
Massarente, an Italian grocer and confectioner, situate a
few doors distant from Reid's well-known brewery in
Leather-lane, Holb3rn, the powerful private fire-engine
from whose establishment was immediately on the spot,
under the superintendence of Mr. Stringer, and succeeded,
although not before the first and second-floors were com-
pletely gutted, in extinguishing the fire, almost before the
FArringdon-street and other fi e brigade engines reached
the spot. At present it is not known whether the premises
are insured. The engine, worked by Reid's men, was one
of the most powerful order, and the men worked with un-
wonted vigour at the pumps, under the promise of copious
supplies of beer from the brewery, as a recompense for their
labour.

" Am I NOT A MASON AND A BROTHER ?"--Ac-
cording to the Herald's American corresponent, this
question seems to have been asked, to small purpose, on
the race-course of Bull's Run. A Master Mason, floored,
made " the sign of distress," but a brother with a bayonet
declined to recognise the intimation, and incontinently dis-
missed the other " from labour to repose." Probably this
would not have happened under the presidentship of " the
judicious Tyler." Brother Punch would like to kni,w
whether the immuthties of the Order of the Gridiron ex-
tend to civil broils /—.Ptench.
A NOVEL Fox HuNT.—On Wednesday last a
rat her novel fox hunt took place on the line of railway be
twist Cumnock and Muirkirk. As the evening passenger
train was approaching the farm -steading of Wellwood, the
engine-driver saw a fine large dog fox on the line right
ahead of him. He thought he would like a little sport, and
putting on some extra staam he gradually gained on the
vermin, which ran gamely till fairly run over. the wheels
dividing him in two. A. few yards further on a hare was
also run over, and it is very probable that Reynard was
victimised. Vuilo iu purbtut t,t "
