CITY INTELLIGENCE.

4 1rlpapeter # the OIdsn Time. Our readers
will recolIcct the fine parade of the "Butchers'
Association" in the late funeral procession in
honor OF Gen. jackson, and the venerable ap-
pearancc Of the trumpeter, Mr.. John Buck, who
preceded them. The life Of Mr.. Buck has not
been an uneyentful one; for although butcher
by profession, he has acted in the capacity Of
trumpeter from his early youth. He was the
trumpcter Of the escort of Gen Washington as
he passed through this city in '96 and 81, to
attend the sittings Of the American Congress
in Philadelphia. He was also trumpeter to
Capt. Bycg's troop al the battle Of n orth Point
in 1914. The mouth-piece OF the trumpet
used in the funeral obsequies was the same one
used upon the two former occasions. Mr..
Buck is now far advanced in the ''sere and vel
low leaf, and like most others who "have done
the state some service" is not blessed with
much Of this worlds goods, bat we rejoice to
say he is in good hands when in those of his
brothers Of the cleaver.
AS the names of the officers of the associa-
ton were not published in our report of the
procession, VIC now proceed TO give them
Chief Marshal, J. NJ. Turner Special Aids,
Charles Myers and Jacob Pappler; Assistant
Marshals, Sterling Thomas, II. F. Turner,
VIM. Carmichael, George lowering, T. J.
Rusk, A. Hoffman, w. l.. Rusk, George Kraft,
Samuel J. Pentz and John Nicholson. The
American flag was borne by Andrew II. Wells,
and the emblems of the association carried by
Mr.. F. Cook and Mr.. VIM. Blacklar.
Monumental Lyceum. The somi-annual cleo
ton Of officers Of this institution took place on
Wednesday evening, the I'd inst. and resulted
in the election of the following named gentle
men, most Of them old ncumhents f. G.. PEN
rose, President; VIM. johnson, Vice President:
John O. Booth, Treasurer; Levi Tischmeyer,
Secretary; S w. Jones, Librarian; Messrs. f.
d. Williams, ID. T. Cummins, VIM. Hull,
John r. Cox and Robert ?. Bailey, Board of
Curators The harmonious action Of this in
stituion in all its elections and all its move
ments-the retention Of old and efficient off,
cers-the absence Of all desire for change in its
wise polcy-the unwuvering attachment of It's
members towards each other-these are all so
many unerring indications that much Of good
may yet be confidently expected of the society
by its friends. We understand that tho APP
preaching seventh anniversary of the Lyceum
will DO celebrated, as usual, at Willow Springs,
to which place the company will be conveyed
in the steamboat Osiris commanded, we have
reason to know, by one of the ''best OF fellows"
Capt John ID. Turner. We have not heard
whether persons unconnected with the society
will be permitted to participate in the pleasures
of the day, but presume that privilege will be,
as on all former occasions, extended TO limit
ed number The exercises will consist of an
Anniversary Address by one of the members,
Rotations, and music, vocal and instrumental.
accident. We regret to learn that MIR. Da-
yid Rotten, worthy and industrious mechanic
of Fell's Point, met with an accident Yesterday
morning of a serious nature, whilst engaged at
work iii the ship yard of Messrs. Goodwin &
Richardson. He was working with several
others upon scaffold which had been erected
in the yard, when it suddenly gave way, pre-
cipitating him to the ground below, and break
ing one of his arms in dreadful manner. He
was taken to his residence, where DR.. Dashield
set the broken limb, and rendered every other
aid that was in the power of medicine. An
other one of the workmen was hurt internally
by the scafolding falling or him, but we could
not learn his name.
The FencibLeS. This excellent company o
citizen soldiers did not arrive last evening, as
was expected. They were forced to stop in
Alexandria yesterday after their visit to Mount
Vernon. The militery of Alexandria gave
them fine reception and most sumptuous
dinner. They reached Washington yesterday
afternoon at 6 o'clock, and dined at Brown
Hotel They will reach this city at O'Clock
this morning, and will leave in the afternoon
boat at o'clock for Philadelphia. They will
be escorted to the boat by Capt. Eiterman's
Company Of German Yeagers This will be
great disappointment to the members OF the
COLUMBIAN Fire Company, who had made ex-
tensive arrangements to entertain them last
evening with supper at the Hall Of the Eagle
