Public Schools of Shasta County.

Texas Springs School district, No. l3,-Mr
E. S. Utter, teacher.
This district was created at the last session o1
the Board of Supervisors. This school was
commenced Jan. %. Number OF scholars in
attendance, Is.
This district has two school houses, one OF
which is new and commodious, and the other
is small and uncomfortable.
However, | am happy to say that the citizens
of this district are erecting large and commo-
dious building at Texas Springs, TO be used for
public meetings and school purposes.
Mr.. Utter is teaching private school. 1t is
the duty of every newly organized district to
maintain a school three months prior to the 3lst
of October, by rate;blls and voluntary subscrip-
tions, before they can receive any share from
the proceeds of the school fund.
Mr.. Utter, though good scholar, has not fa-
miliarized himself with analytical teaching. He
has just been initiated, should Judge, into the
new system of teaching the young idea, and
gives promise of success.
Wednesday, 18th inst, l visited this school,
and found most of the scholars backward. The
exercises of the day passed off well as could be
expected under the circumstances, although he
is striving very hard to lead them up the hill Of
science. The scholars are generally orderly and
few only show the want of good home dis
ciplne.
Like many others, the older scholars have yet
to learn that analysis of the principles of arith-
metic and grammar is of more Importance than
mere process of rules OF solution, because the
former mostly is for the business of life, and
practical expertness will be dependent more up
on thorough discipline of reasoning faculties
than upon the readiness of the memory
There are no grades established in our schools
All rank as primary but they should be classi-
fed, and keep up with the times in the progress
of the cause of education.
Many OF the scholars were not in regular at
tendance on account of the scattered population.
want of money added to a want of interest
on the part of parents, keep many at home yet
still this is growing better Heretofore ma
jority of our scholars were very backward in
their studies, and but few were qualified to ad-
vance; and for this reason, no attempts have
been made to grade our schools by establishing
high schools and seminaries of learning

the

to the public my aim was to give them pure
and unadulterated article of Gin, and to call it
by its right name. The success attending its
introduction and extensive sale in California is
a sufficient guarantee of the high appreciation
of the article by consumers.

call "Club House Gin" Ny Gin, which has

TERRIBLE MUTINY OF COOLIES AT SEA.-T hir-
~ Shot and Orer Ninety WOunded.-A very seri-
GUS case Of mutiny occurred ON board the shin
Norway, (of New York; Captain Major, on her
recent passge from Macao to Havana which
came very near proving disastrously to the of
ficers, passengers and crew. The Norway sail
ed from Macao, November &c, with about one
thousand coolies on board and when FIVE DAYS
out at about six o'clock in the evening the
captain being below at the time mutiny broke
out among the coolies, who set fire to the ship
in two places, and endeayored to force the
matches. Mr.. Simpson, of Boston, one OF the
mates, had charge of the deck, and the watch,
with the exception of the man Mt the wheel,
was aloft taking in sail. Mr.. Simpson rushed
to the hatch and commenced the struggle. The
crew from aloft and those below tried to seize
the boats and leave the ship, when the surgeon,
an English gentleman, drew his pistol and
threatened to shoot the first man who dared to
make that attempt. The crew then rallied and
went to the assistance of the officers and a
fight ensued, which continued from six in the
evening until after daylight next morning.
Thirty of the coolies were killed, and more than
ninety wounded, before the mutiny was queIled.
The captain then gave the coolies one hour to
deliver up the arms in their possession if they
did not he threatened to cut away the masts,
set fire to the ship, take the boats and proyis-
ions and leave them to their fate. The mutt
neers soon came to terms. Captain Major had
his wife and two daughters with him, and a 80
lady passenger and child-but during the
night the lady died of fright, and in the morn
ing the child also died.
