_John o'Groat's House._--Does any authenticated view of the building called
_John o'Groat's House_ in Caithness exist, and are any traditions
respecting it known beyond the certainly ridiculous account in the fifth
volume of _Beauties of Scotland_, p.83.?
Can any of your readers point out an engraving of the old _Konigs_ or
_Kaiserstuhl, at Rheuse_, on the Rhine, as well as of its restoration in
1848, after being destroyed by the hordes of revolutionary France, in 1792?
It is not in Merian or Zeiler. I have seen it, but cannot call to mind the
author. Perhaps _Alsatia Illustrata_?

_Dancing the Bride to Bed_--_Old Hewson the Cobler._--I have a tune called
"_A round dance to dance the bride to bed_." Can any of your readers favour
me with notices of such a custom prevailing? The tune dates about 1630 or
earlier, and resembles that of "The Hunt is up."
Another, printed about 1730, is called, "_My name is Old Hewson the
Cobler_." Is this a cavelier's song in ridicule of the Roundhead Colonel
Hewson; and are the words to be found?
