FINANCIAL. DIFFICULTIES IN WASHINGTON.
There is growing to be financial crisis
among the employees of the board Of public
works Of Washington. Many Of the contractors
have been but partially paid for some months,
and plumber of dealers in the city who have
taken from employees, for goods accepted Or
ders of the board find themselves in a condition
of great financial stringcncy. The board's want
Of funds proceeds from the lnblity to collect
the assessments on real estate for the paving
tax, the collection of which is now restrained, by
the Injunction suits and the appeal TO the Su1-
irene Court of tho District, which still holds
the matter under adviscmcnt. Car. HM.

of corsets during early YOUTH. Naturally u,

! PISTOLS. An accident occurred recently in
Baltimore. which affords to those " no are in
possession OF fire arms one more warning not to
leave them within reach of children, or others,
who are ignorant of their uses aud management
Two little girls, of nine and eleven years, were
examining the couteuts of their elder brother
bureau drawers, and found a pistol which he
had carelessly left 10 an unlocked drawer. The
children, supposiug it to be uuloadcd, handled
it without fear, and the older Of the two, pull
ing the trigger, snapped it, without effect, first
out Of the window, then at various objects in
the chamber, and, lastly, at her little sister.
when, to her iuexpressible horror, it proved
itselfto be loaded by discharging shot into the
face, just above the eye The sight of the eye
seemed at first to be destroyed, but from later
appearances it is hoped the injury may not
prove so serious result Such accidents arc
distressing, but they will happen SO long as
loaded pistols are left within reach of children.

HORRIBLE AFFAIR. About 9 clock yes
terlay morning while bull belonging TO Mr..
Goldsmith was being driven though Lombard
street towards Patterson Park it became unruIy
and Infatuated, owing to his being annoyed and
worried by number Of boys, and finally, in
the most excited manner, rushed through the
street towards Broadway. creating the most IN
street Fastening to seek Il pacc Of shelter.
Unfortunately Mrs L. Wh:tcralt. on returning
from the FclI's Point Market with large baSk-
ct on her arm, had just reached the crossing at
Broadway as the bull dashed along and almost
before she was aware of her danger the poor
woman was seized by the vicious beast and
tossed some ten feet IN the air, to the infinite
horror OF the spectators. As she descended she
was again caught on the horns of the Infatuated
animal and tossed second time and gorcd in 4
most shocking manner. y number of police
men and others rushed to the assistance OF Mrs.
Whitcraft and drove the bull off, but not be.
fore she had received injuries that will most
probably render her cripple for life, even il
death does not enSue. She was promptly con-
yeyed to her residence, and the assistance Of
Dr. >Dwinelle and others awaited OF. II was
found that her right leg and arm were hadlybrok
en- and that her person was terribly laccrated by
the horns Of the animal. The physicians arc
of opinion that the wounds, although very Sc
rious are not necessarily fatal. After the res
cue of Mrs Nhtcratt the bull turned and ran
up lombard street westward followed by an
immense crowd, at least twenty shots from PTS
tolls being fired into it's head without further
effect than increasing his fury. Near the iu-
tersection Of Central avenue a colored man
rushed at the bull with an axe, and with one
herculean blow on the head dispatched him..
