FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.-We have the
particulars of distressing casual ty
which occurred at the Richmond Mills, in
Hazleton township, last Saturday.
A little girl about five years old, the
daughter of the miller, Mr.. Zaitsch, while
in the mill, attempted TO put her hand on
rapidly revolving belt of the smut ma
chine In an instant her clothes were
caught and she was with terrible force
drawn through hole in the floor through
which the belt ran. When she was picked
up it was discovered that her arm was
broken in two places, as was also her leg,
her shoulder was dislocated, and she was
bruised and laccratcd about the head
She was insensible, and for an hour it was
doubtful if she was dead or alive. At
the end of that time breathing was more
apparent, but she remained insensible for
"a hours, and although living yet is in q
critical condition. Fortunately DR.. Cor
bin was in the mill at the time of the &C.
cident, and rendered prompt service in
reducing the dislocation, and setting the
broken limbs.

National Bank OF Washington.
WASHINGTON, Sept q, 1873.
The following is the report OF the receiver OF the
First National Bank OF Washington, just presented
to the Comptroller OF the Currency
WASHINGTON, Sept. %, 1873.
Hon. JOHN J. KNOX, Comptroller OF the Currency
SIR-On the evening OF September 10, under your
Instructions entered upon the duties or receiver
OF the Flrst National Bank Of this city by taxing
possession OF It's books, records. and far prac
ticable, OF its assets. The bank had been engaged
in large business, especially the collections
and the redemption OF mutilated notes.
The number OF banks corresponding and
dealing with 1t was unusually large.
It's business devOved upon the Receiver much
labor in addition to inquiry into the condition Of
the bank. From time to time have reported to
you verbally and have followed your Instructions

creditors OF the bank and to yourself, acting In
trust for them. This comparison, resting partly
upon information derived from the books
OF the bank, must also In part be the re-
Accounts too, especially with other banks,
extending over much time and many
transactions must be taken subject to verfcation,
and perhaps correction, by means OF the accounts
and vouchers OF the banks or persons with whom
the First National dealt, ana subject also to pos
sible controversy between 1t and some OF them.
But, while precise comparison cannot yet be
made, careful examination causes me to believe
that the following statement OF the resources and
liabilities OF the bank, qualified by the remarks
which succeed 1t, Is as accurate an one as can
be made

The Stock Exchange remained closed all day. and
there were fewer people in Broad street and its
immediate vicinity than has been the case on any
day this month. The fact that the Governing Com
mittee was to hold meeting during the forenoon
drew few anxious brokers to the Wall street doors
in groups but there was no real excitement
petition was started on the street during the
meeting OF the committee, asking them to open
the BoaSd on Monday, but before many names had
been obtained as petitioners the meeting OF the
committee came to an end, and they announced
that the Exchange would open on Tuesday morn
ing next settlements to be made according TO
rules and regulations to be furnished at meeting
OF the committee to be held tomorrow.
IL should be stated that the committee held
meeting about hafpast nine, but no business OF
any Importance was transacted during the session,
although the propriety OF opening the Exchange
on Monday was actually debated. At the second
meeting tho communication In answer to their
proposition of a few days ago was received from
the Clearing House Association and elected rather
a warm debate, but as the answer settled their
proposition definitely no action other than cour-
teously receiving 1t and placing 1t on the files was
taken upon IT, or In fact, could have been taken to
