creased the salaries of their Pastors. In the
Arch street Presbyterian Church, Phila-

been raised 81, 500, making it $4,000. As
prices for every article of consumption are
much higher now than year ago, and as
the income of the mechanic, merchant and

SCHOOL FOR TEACHERs.-A bill has bee n
introduced into the Kentucky Legislature
contemplating the establishment of school
for teachers. The Louisville Democrat
thinks this most important measure, and
adds:
"We have the material to work upon,
our children, the mouey to pay the work
men, but We have no skiilful workmen, no
competent teachers, and our school system
can never become efficient until competent
teachers, and in sufficient numbers, are pro
vided. Our people are fast losing conf
dsnce throughout the State in the efficiency
of our common schools, and nothing but
an institution for the training of teachers
can restore their confidence
