LOGAL NEWS. — os Tue BUTLERS' AssociaTion.—A number of ‘be colored wailers employed in the hotels and poarding-honses of the city, are organizing a peneficial association, uuder the tile of the “Butlers Association,” the object of which ts soaid the members in sickness, &e., and gen- erally to advance the interests of the members. There are associations in New York. Phila- delpbia, Boston and Baltimore, working under constitutions very similar These associations ot only eee to proper attention being paid to be sick. the burial of the dead, and the relief cf the widew and orphans, but also keep an eye to the conduct of the members, and under the constitution whicb it is proposed to adopt, fines are imposed on members who attend dis- orderly gatherings or other infamons places, aad provisions are made for the trial ot mem- bers who are guilty of any crime. The first meeting was held at Rutherford’s Hall a week ago, @t which R. Buchanan presided, and U. Downing acted &s secretary; and, after an ad- dress by the Ubair, and the adoption of a re-o- lution to elect officers on Tuesday night next, the meeung adjourned. Last evening the second meeting was held at Rutherford’s hall, which was opened by sing. ing thehymn “What tronbles have we seen,” aud prayer by the chairman. A motion was made for the Chair to address Ue meeting and adopted, and Mr. Buchanan spoke of the objects and advantages which would be Gerived from the association. It ‘Was one of the noblest enterprises which had ever been projected, and he believed that every hotel keeper wou!d be pleased to see this com- bination. It was not only for temporal purpo- ses but for spiritual also, and it proposed to take the drunkard out of the street, bring him in and send him to charch, when he would be forced to cry aloud tor mercy. He spoke of the Bricklayer’s, Carpenter's, and other trade ociatiens for the benefit of themselves, and said he was not discouraged because of the small number present. In other places there were Butlers’ associations, but in this District the colored peopie had not long enjoyed the privileges they now have, and they should come outin their strength. As it bad been here, & botel Keeper sometimes engaged a man &s a waiter wholdid not kiow Rew to stand at the table, and when asked fer beef steak woulo take fried potatoes to the gentle. map.

He next spoke of the relief which would be afforded to the members and their tamilies. | Not only would ihey be aided from the treas- ury of the associaiion, bat each member is bound to feed the orphans of a brother, and ‘would see to the relief of the widow until God ra ses UP Ano\her husband, and then they let her drop. (Applause.] In conclusion, he urged those present to tell their companions sbeut the meeting, and bring them up to the vext meeting.

A boy had been cent to that neighborhood to geta small pig whi b had been purchased by his father, and placing | the animal in a bag the youth slung it over bis shoulder @nd startea toward bis home, He had not gone far with his burden, however, before the young porker commenced to squeai ata fearful pitch, reminding one of the conun- dram, What makes more noise than a pig under agate!’ Acrowd of youngsters soon | as-embled at the heels of the boy, and were | joined by the maternal parent of the pig, wh-n | the squeaks of the imprisoned animal, the hoot- ings of the boys, and gruntingef the sow were | ceafening. The sow closely pursued the boy to regain her young. He did his best to keep out of the way of the infuriated beast, aud succeeded admirably for a time by moving back and forth across the streets, having the advantage of his pursuer by being able to take shortturns. By his devious course, however, he was not able tomake much headway. See: ing steps leading down into the area of a dwell- img. near at band, the youth, tenaciously clinging to the bag and its noisy contents [ made & precipitate retreat into the tempting place of refuge. closely followed by the crowd, who seemed to side with the sow. She took her position at the head of the steps, and made several spirited attempts to carry the enemy’s ‘works, but the boy managed to repel her at. | tacks by the skillful use of a stick he had fonnd in the srea. The noise was still kept up, and the occupant of the dwelling soon became en- raged at (be manner of the crowd, composed of white and black boys and men, with a sprink- ling of swine, and seizing from the stove in the basement & teakettle of hot water, went to ibe upper story for the purpose of scalding the assemblage and forcing an evacuation of his Fortunately the boiling water took be tace of the sow, who, astonished ‘at this unexpected assault from a new quarter, raised the siege, and beat a basty retreat, aad the youth picked up the bag containing the cause of all his woe, and went on his way re- jJoicing. MEETING OF THE Property HoLpERs on FOURTEENTH STREET.—An adjourned met. | ing of the property holders on Fourteenth | eet was held last evening, at Ricbaras’ | schoel building, corner ot Feurteenth street and New York avenue, Mr.H.@ Ager pre- siding, for the purpese of taking action relative to the sewer bullt last year on Fourteenth Street, which it was alleged was not built ac- cording to contract, and has not been approved by the corporation. Mr. Z. Richards, of committee appointed at a previous meeting, to take into consideration the best manner of procedare in reference to the sewer, and the payment therefor, reported that the sewer was not built according to the contract, but of ferior material. and without cement being used, as it should have been. He had investi- gated the matter, but had not sought legal ad- vice. He could, therefore, recommend no course of action, but he was of the opinion th: the city was bound to Pay the contractor; he did not see how they could avoid it. The mat- ter, be thought, should be brought to the no- tice of the City Councils. It was wrong tor the citizens en¥ourteenth street to pay for a very expensive sewer which has been built in a very shabby way. He would ad one should feel it compulsory to pay fur the sewer until it shall ha mn determined how the matter will be setled. He further con- tended that all who were benefitted should be Tequired to contribute towards the erection of wers, whether their property borders en the s8me oF not. A general interchange of views from those present was bad, mostly in coademnation of this sewer and the principle of paying for work which was not done according to con- tract, but in an inferior manner. Mr. Richards moved that a committee of three be appointed to draw up a petition tothe City Councils, stating the fact of the sewer be- ing inferfor,and not buiit according to contract and asking for such legisiation as would re- eve tbe property holders on lith street from payment therefor; aud that they should get as many signers thereto as possible, Ths motion was carried and Messrs. J. V. A. Shields, U H. Ridenour and Francis Madison wera ap- pointed as the committee. when the meeting adjourned.
