SERIOUS ~ NOT FATAL ACCIDENT.-Thursda
afternoon very sad accident happened at the
house of Mr.. Hanlcy, stove dealer. Seventh
street, near H. Mr.. Hanley's work-ship covers
the yard in rear of the building-the roof of the
same being used by his family for drying clothes,
VC. Mr.. Hanley's sister, a beautiful young
lady, was upon the roof, (Which has a skylight
some four feet long, with common sash, and
no guard over it, when she slipped, falling
head-ioremost upon the sash, precipitating her
the cellar under the store distance of some
twenty-five feet. She was taken up very much
'lniscd and cut by the broken glass, but fCrtu-
Hytcly no homes broken. In the fall, she struck
ntr back at the foot Of the cellar stairs. Yes
Terday she was in quite a critical condition, and
il is though, she has sustained serious internal
injury. 1t Is n great piece of negligence to
cave saS' unprotected on roof that is daily
IN use; and this most fortunate escape from
death should he n caution to Others who may
lee similarly situated.

WASHINGTON AND GEoReETowE RAILROAD
Yesterday afternoon, by invitation Of the Off
GERS of the street railroad, we accompanied
them, with party of invited quests, on trip
to examine the railroad on Seventh street, from
the Avenue TO the steamboat wharf,
In the party we observed H. D. Cooke, ESQ.,,
the gentlemanly president Of the road; Mr.. G.
5. Gideon. the superintendent, W. Wharton, IT,,
T. II. Bradley, ESQ.,, Col. W. W. Scaton, Alder
man Lloyd, Councilman Utermehle, Mr.. Hud-
son Taylor, Mr.. Morehead, and Mr.. Wander
werkcn, with representatives of the city press.
The trip was an agreeable one, and the work
appears TO have been done very thoroughly,
though the track had not been cleaned so as TO
allow the car TO run smoothly. The people
along the line appeared highly gratiled to see
the car, az indication that this great convc-
nience of lOcomotion was open TO them also.
We learn that cars will be put on this branch
on Monday, and will run on time suited to the
travel. That TO- If the amount of travel will
warrant it, the cars will run as often AZ every
five minutes.

for few days, arriving here on Satur-
day We are glad to see him looking

soldering agrees with him. Mr.. CRuM,
Of This company, came with him. They
return on Wednesday next.
Lieut.. Parsons reports their regiment
as fully provided with horses, but as yet
without arms, which, however, are on
the way. and have probably by this time
arrived. The regiment is assigned to
Gen. LANES command, and will proba.
bly, leave in couple Of weeks for Leav-
enworth. The health Of the regiment is
very good.
Since the Lieutenant's arrival here he
has been authorized to recruit four men
for his company. and if any one wishes
to enter this arm of the service, a better
opportunity could not offer. The com.
pany and regiment is well officered, and
the command is certainly destined TO see
honorable service. Lieut.. Parsons will
probably leave some one to recruit the
men, unless he obtains them before leay.

n"A FRIENp TO THE PUBLIC" ca

Aga FRIEND TO THE PUBLIC" can
hardly expect us to publish his commu-
nication, especially without the sanction
Of his name. 1t is upon a matter, we
conceive. of purely private business, and
not a subject for newspaper criticism.
We know no more reason why we should
publish an attack on our millers if they
do not make good -four, than upon one
of our shoemakers for not making
good shoes, or upon one of our merch-
ants for not selling good goods. Such
attacks upon private business would rem
der us amenable to an action for damages.
We must decline to have anything TO do
with the matter.
