TIE WAsHlNGToE ACCIDENT The acci-
de;lt ut the kirkwood House, Washington,
which We noticed several days since, says the
Harrisburg Daily Telegraph, of the 24th ult.,
was little more serious than was at first ap-
pretended. Miss Reilly, daughter Of Hon.
Wilson Reilly, was more seriously injured than
wss at first snpposed--her arms and breast hay-
ing been severely burned, and from the effects
Of which she is still confined to her room. The
lady who was in company with her at the time
of the accident, was the estilnable lady OF Col.
A. X Mcclure, of the House, who, in compa-
ny with Miss Reilly, making preparations
for attending an evenings entertaihment In
arranging tleir toilet, the ladies' bad candle
on the floor with which Miss ReilIy's dress came
in contact; aid being OF very light fabric, she
was almost Instantly enveloped in blaze
Mrs Mcclure threw herself upon Miss hciiiy,
shielding her face from the FIRE. Dressed III "a
heavy brocade silk, the flames did not cominu-
nicate to Mrs. McClure's clothing but had her
dress been of the same combustible material as
Miss Rcily's, nothing could have saved both
from being horribly burnt. Mr.. Jones, OF
Wisconsin, burst, open the door of their apart
meat, separated the ladies, aud entirely extin-
guished the d ,mes.
Col Mcclure has just returned from Wash
ington, whether he had been summoned by IN
| te!ligeuce Of the accident. II viii be seen by
the annexed paragraph from the Washington
StateS, that an acknowledgement of Mr.. Jones
timely aid has been made, alike creditable aud
gratifying to all the parties connected with It
y TRIbUTE OF GRATIrUDE.-Our readers
viii recollect that few days ago Mr.. John y
Jones, of Wiscun>in. was the happy instrument
ot saving the lives Of TWO estinIablo ladies' at
the Kirkwood House. A fex evenings ago he
was surprised by being presented v'th HaIua-
bic aud elegant goid-headed cgae' inScrloe

We had hoped better things from some of the Sc

onposed to the great fraud, but the administration
