The Financial Horizon Is brightening--the panic has spent its detructive fury--the chastening rod has fallen heavily, and many of the mighty ones have felt its smiting power. But the First National Bank of this place, we are pleased to state, has outridden the gale, braved the tempest's wrath, stands on solid ground, and to its patrons and tried friends sends kindly greeting. Thankful for past favors, the "Old Reliable" is ready to receive and reciprocate the patronage of the public. It is but proper that we should make public statement of the fact that the First National found the partial suspension plan inoperative here, and therefore speedily ignored it, by promptly paying over its counter all demands of depositors. The panic has proved the First National deservedly worthy the confidence and patronage of the people. Long may it wave. Report of the Public Schools of Washington for the Week ending November 14. 1873.
