Again, yesterday, i've convicts es- capped and the guards pursued them with bIoodhounds. Coming up with one. be struck the dog with club, when the guards fred upon and klll- ed him. He was standing perfectly still and could have been recaptured without violence. These guards have left twenty three graves at ore place and eight at another.

Educate ,he Indians.

As this is an age of progress,
 great advancement being made in
 the sciences, arts, popular education,
 morality, and indeed m all things
 pertaining to the amelioration of
 mans condition. Vast sums of
 money are expended in the endow-
 ment of institutions of learning, asy-
 lnms for the deaf and dumb, blind,
 orphans &c. to say nothing of houses Of corrections and kindred ipstitu- tions which prevail ID the States. Millions of dollars are spent annual y in establishing schools and sup. porting them ID foreign (heathen) lands, and in sending them the Cos pei. Now, we are ever ready to fla yor these laudable enterprises, at the same time recollecung that "eharisy  begins at home" and that our first and highest duties in the hre of charity. disinterestedness, and huma- nity begin at home, we think it not amiss to invite the attention of phi lanthropists and the general public to q home interest, one that lies very near the heart of every citizen of Arzona, to-wit: The lack of fa- eih1Ies for the most superficial edu- cation amongst the Indians at the San Carlos Agency No school of any klnd ever having an existanee there.
 As matters now are, and likely to remain for yeals to come, these h. dians constitute an important factor amongst us. Thousands of men, women and children, are compelled to come into contact with this peo- pie. numbering about 4,500 souls, and that this association cannot m the nature of the case be of an ele- yating character, either as regards industry or morals, must be patent to every candid mind Some of the aged, and intelligent Indians among them seeing the barrier that exists between them and civilized people, are ealing for schools. They de- mand faeihues for the education of their children, that they may be ele- vated, and fitted to rank among their hitherto more favored seighbors m the pursuit of honest inCusry and happiness. We are told that Con- gress voted an appropriation of SS000 to aid in this enterprise. Are they capable and teachabIe For reply, We answer afirnauvely, and refer to Inspector General Hammond, at San Carlos. Judge Hackney, Edi- tor SILVER BgLT, Globe City, and other citizens. Now what educational society or church will take hold of this inatter2 Many of our eipzens are wide awake as to the importance of this natter, but the means are lacking. Ample provisions have been made for other tribes, and the relation existing between the govern ment and the Apache are such as to- demand favorable response to this plea. ANON.

The LAST OF NIAGARA's Ice BRIDGR-The
great Ice bridge which has provided a winter
attraction for Niagara has almost disappeared.
correspondent OF the Buffalo Courier giving q
parting description OF it says:-"It is strange,
but fact, that most OF the bridge was snow
ard nothing but the severe cold weather that
we have had kept ii together so long. 1t Is esti-
mated that about eighteen thousand people
have crossed this bridge. On Sunday, February
9Th, over one thousand people passed over &c,
excursion trains having brought the people
here over the Central and Erie railways. M
Convoy, the well-known guide, was the first TO
cross the Ice bridge on December 3oth. The
last TO cross was boy accompanied by q dog
wednesday afternoon, the 18th inst. Although
there has been a great many dangerous places
about the Falls during the winter, and so many
thousands OF people have gazed upon the grand
sights and superb scenery. IL is pleasant TO
know that not single accident has occurred.
IL VIII not be surprising IL we have another foe
bridge this spring, when the Ice comes down
from the lakes; May sth, 1871, an ice bridge
formed just below the American falls. whii0
grass was being cut In Prospect Park People
crossed the bridge at that time for two or thf3o
days; IL broke and went down on the river on
the 14th."
