an Encouraging Omen.


Every friend of education must be
gratified to observe the prominence
that is given to good schools by those
who are seeking to attract immigrants
to their particular localities. The
Lompoc colony made unusually liberal
provision for establishing and MAIN
tanning schools, and this act did much
to insure the success of The enterprise.
The Centinela colony will be richly
compensated for making the same
recognition of the necessity of well
supported schools for the successful
establishment of a prosperous COM
munity. And now comes Artesia, the
latest candidate for the suffrages of the
incoming tide of immigrants, and pre-
sents as the strongest proof of the en-
terprise and intelligence of the propri-
etors, the very liberal donations that
Will be made for the erection of school,
houses and the support of schools.

Lately i'll one number of a paper pub
lished in Solano county, six farms were
offered for sale, in the description of
each of which it was stated that there

signs which indicate the increased
Importance attached to education. No

Teachers Examination.

The quarterly teachers examination
will begin on Wednesday, the 90th of
March, and continue four days. Ac-
cording to regulation adopted at the
last meeting of the State Board of Ed
ucation, the candidates will be exam
ined first in written arithmetic, or
biography and grammar. Any one
who fails to obtain at least fifty per
cent. in each of these branches will be
requested to withdraw, and no one can
receive Il certificate above third
grade who does not obtain more than
sixty per cent. upon each. As gentle
men are not entitled to third grade
certificates, all will be ruled out of the
examination who fail to receive sixty
per cent. i'll each of the studies named.
Under the operation of the new rule,
many who have been accustomed to
compensate for deficiencies in these
fundamental branches by high per-
centages in other branches of less i'm
portanee, will fail. We shall look with
unusual interest to the results of our
next examination.

The Terrible Story that Drifted
Down 10 the Sea.
Mehita (Texas) Beacon
No little interest has been manifested
in the German family, a portion of
whom were brutslly murdered by the
Cheyenne and Arrapahoe Indians while
on their way from Georgia to Colorado,
aud the remainder, the TWO eldest
daughters carried into captivity,
though now happily restored to civilza-
ton once more. The particulars OF
their capture and the tales of their ter
rlbIe suffering while held by the savages
we're hearlrending in the extreme, and
are familiar to our readers; but there is
another little unpublished episode con-
nected with their checkered career
which we will give our readers Some
time since, we are informed by William
Redns, a bottle was picked up on the
beach OF the Gulf of Mexico, near the
mouth of the Brazos river, which, upon
examination, was found to contain a
paper on which was written an account
OF the capture of the German girls and
the names OF the various members Of
the family, how the parents were muir
dered, together with other facts and incl
dents; also the approximate location
and temporary camp, which was evil
IDENTIFY on the head waters of the Brazos.
This bottle had been corked up tightly
by Catherine and Sophia, the two eldest
girls, aud thrown into the river, in hopes
it might reach civilization in this way,
and strange to say, after having travelled
eight hundred or one thousand miles
along the devious wlndiDgs and chang
ing current of the Lone Star States
most magnificent stream, it was at last
picked up on the Gulf of Mexico many
weeks after the captive girls had written
this bottle history Of their sdfferings,
and about the same time the story of
their eventful and horrible eight months
captivity was given to the world from
their own lips.
