TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.-On yesterday
morning, about eight o'clock, terrible
accident occurred at the planning mill
of Messrs. Armstrong & Holiday, by
which q young man. named Andrew
Miller, had his left hand most shock
ingly mutllated. 1t appears that Miller
was running one of the planning ma
chimes, and, by some accident or
thoughtless exposure, his left hand was
caught by the revolving cylinder, in
which are fastened the knives, and the
two fore fingers aud thumb were cut
off entirely: The direction of the cut
is from the connection Of the second
fore finger with the hand in line so as
to pass through the thick portion
of the hand and severing the thumb at
the joint next the wrist. We saw the
wound just before the physicians began
to dress it, and the sight was most sick
eniBg. We then examined the machine
at which he was working when the sad
catastrophy transpired. The mutilated
portions of the hand and fingers were
thrown some ten or fifteen feet from
the cylinder where his hand was caught.
They lay in small fragments about the
floor.
The man bore his atiiction with great
fortitude and resignation. DR.. Robert
Cummins and DIR. Baird were the at
tending surgeons who ofliciated in
dressing and binding up the wound.
Persons who are employed in running
suck dangerous machinery should be
extremely cautious. This terrible &C.
cident caused considerable excitement
and large and sympathetic crowd
gathered to witness the scene of dress
ing the wound of the suffering man.

committee: Hughes, First Ward; Pfarr,
Second Ward; McCourtney, Third
Ward; Rolf, Fourth Ward; Long, Fifth
Ward; Stanley, Sixth Ward, and Will
liams, Seventh Ward.
The report of the Finance committee
came up as the special order of business.
Some discussion arose in relation to the
detailed statement of receipts and ex-
penditures. 1t was urged by Mr..
Hughes that the different sources OF
revenue should be enumerated, as also
the different items of disbursements.
Colonel Wilkinson being present was
asked to give some explanation on the
subject. In compliance with that re-
quest the Colonel responded, and said
that several sources ofrevenue were not
taken into consideration in this report.
Those sources of revenue as desired by
Mr.. Hughes could not be embraced IN
this report, which referred to the Sink
ing Fund. The Treasurer's books would
show what Mr.. Hughes desired.
After further discussion the report
was re.committed with instructions to
make full, detailed account of all the
receipts and expenditures from January
1859 to January 1868.
A joint resolution adopted by First
Branch forbidding the citizens of WASH
ington township of discharging privies

The petition of Christian Getzner for
reduction on water rent was referred to
committee on Water Works.
The petition of certain river men
asking the privilege of landing certain
boats and lows, forthe purpose of pur-
chasing such articles as they wanted,
was referred to committee on Wharves.
The billof DIR. f. Mccoy, amounting
to 1850. was. on motion, laid on the ia
BILE.
The resolution, that S25 be appropri-
ated to repair the sidewalk on Broad

the Street Commissioner, with power
to act.
A resolution, offered by Mr.. Hughes,
that the City Clerk be authorized to

tive to the blowing of the steamboat
whistles at the wharf, was agreed to.
ReSolred, That the SUM of 500 be ap-
propriated for repairing the frame
