THE FOURTH PRESBYTERIAN SABBATH School.
From late report Of the first Superintendent of
this School it appears that this School was estab-
lished about thirty years agoa little after the
ganiZation OF the church-and las been in unin-
terrupted operation ever since. The territory
which it originally occupied is now divided
among nine Otuer Schools seven connected with
the Church organization, and two strictly Mis-
sonary During the long existence of this School
it has only had six Superintendents -Messrs Ar
| thur J. Stansbury, Jacob Gideon, Lewis III. Ma
chen, David NJ. Wilson, William p. Young, and
the present incumbent, Mr.. nj. ii. Miller. The
average number OF teachers in attendance i'm this
School il about 81, say, Is males and Is females
The number of families represented on the 18th Of
January 1872, and the number OF children
connected with the School, 2.2-li3 boys and I2g
girls-arranged in 81 cl?ssrs. The aim and motto
OF the School is - Erc,IsiOr, and their prartice la
financial matters Is worthy OF general attention
and adoption. On this subject, the Superint-n-
dent says '.fhe School under its present manage
nrnt has no debts, and contracts none. Expert
cnce demonstrates that, especially in public mat
tiers, il is easier to collect money to make i
purchase than 10 pay dsLt contracted in making
such purchase, however necessary"

Opposition have gained two more Mem
bers of Congress in Kentucky-in the
IXth and With Districts. The vote is
close, and the result was, at the date of
our last adyices, a matter Of doubt.
In an editorial on the Kentucky elec-
ton, the Tribune, after stating the facts
that the Opposition, as ia Firginia, "con-
tended that the Democratic party was un-
sound on the Slavery question; that in
fact it vas tainted with the virus of Free
dom; and that it was only ia the Oppo-
sition camp that the best of institutions
could find protection and security" and
rejoicing at their defeat, remarks with
great truth and pointedness
'SBpt while the Democrats Of Ken
tucky have thus crushed the spurious
party that had come against them with
such loud and hollow pretensions, the
germs of a complete and permanent OPP
position are not wanting in that State.
We refer, of course, to the body Of pro-
