Oi the salaries OF the teachers it was un1ni-
mously agreed TO recommend an advance Of ten
per rcent, upon all salaries above $3.50, and twenty
per cent. on all salaries of $3.50 and less This
proposed advance is but an act OF common JUS

UNwHoLEsoME WATER.-The complaint
against the water supplied to our citizens is
universal. The water has such a bad taste that
we shall soon have to adopt the Chinese resort,
and drink nothing but tea or some other liquid,
unless it is rendered purer.
The Schuylkill water is getting more and
more unwholesome every year. The Delaware
Water Gap, seventy-two geographical miles
north of Philadelphia, is, it is stated, seven
hundred and fifty feet above the surface of the
Delaware at Philadelphia. 1t is an ineXhaustibe
fountain, and could be made to supply Phila-
delphia and all other towns and villages be-
tween these two points with water clear as
crystal. 1t would require a very small amount
of American ingenuity to accomplish this great
result.
The Councils of the old "city proper had the
subject under consideration tor several years
plior to consolidation Of bringing water frem
Ihat great natural fountain.

Az but very few of those who attempt
writing for the public eye know how
to properly prepare their manuscript,
we here give the necessary "rules and
regulations which should ever be
borne in mind by those who wish TO see
their. articles in. print. Hundreds. OF
articles are thrown into waste:baskets
daily. for no other reason than that they
are gotten up in such bad style
that they cannot be 'set up" by the
printers without being copied of and
otherwise corrected by the editor, who
does not always have the tine, or the
inclination, to attend to such matters.
Correspondents, by observing these
rules, will save themselves, and pub
lishers, much vexation of spirit:
l. Write with 6lack ink, on white
paper. wide ruled. 2. Make the pages
small, 4 that of foolscap. sheet. 8:
Leave the second page of each leaf
blank. 4. Give the written page ample
margin all around. 5. Number the
pages in the order of their succession.
8. Write in a plain, bold hand, with
less respect to beauty q. Use no a ap- o.
breviations which are not to appear In
print. s. Punctuate the manuscript as
i should be printed. 9. For italics un-
der score one line; for small capitals,
two; for capitals, three. 10. Never in
teTline without the caret to show its
place. IL. Take special pains with
every letter in proper names. II. Re-
view every word, TO be sure that none
are illegible. l3. Put directions to the
printer, at the head of the first page.
il. Never write a private letter to the
editor on the printers copy, but always
on Il separate sheet.

From he Pittsbtrr0 Co

The National Convention OF the Sons
of Vulcan, which commenced its ses-
sIons in this city on Wednesday last,
and adjourned on Saturday, was, per-
haps, one of the most important meet.
ings that this organization has ever
held, and the rep )rI of the proceedings
possesses positive interest to all work
ing men and the community in general.
The proceedings were conducted with
the utmost secrecy, and only matters of
q general character have been made
public. 1t would, seem from the gem
eral tone OF the meeting that the or
ganIzation, although unquestionably
strong, has had in its working machin-
ery many imperfections. The Grand
each subordinate Forge has, in near
ly all Its actions, been controlled by it.
The prices paid for iron, the difference of
wages and other causes, have produced
a clashing of interests in various sec
tions of the country, and one of the
chief objects of the recent meeting
seems 10 have been to unite upon a
platform where all could agree. Here
after, therefore, the various subordinate
Forges are to hRye the privilege of ma
king arrangements suited to their re-
spective localities, observing only such
general rules as are necessary TO the
welfare of the chief body. This move
ment will undoubtedly tend to promote
harmony among the Forges, and each
will feel that It will have the privilege
OF making rules adapted to its peculiar
interests. The delegates from the va
riouS portions of the country advised
such measures as will prevent another
suspension of labor in this locality, and
favored the arrangement which has
been entered into by the iron manufac-
turers and iron workers of Pittsburgh.
