It ought to be understood by all who send pupils to our public schools that an arrangement has been mado by which the Pacific Coast series of readers and spellers that have hitherto been in use can bo exchanged for tho Independent series, recently adopted by a vote of the county superintendents. Wo under stand that the cost of exchango will be as follown : First reader, 8 cents ; second reader, 12 cents; third reader, 1C cents; fourth reader, 20 cents ; fifth reader, 30 cents; sixth reader, 40 cents; speller, 10 cents. Another important fact in this connection is that the time for mak ing this exchango Ls limited to Septem ber 2, 1870, which fact should bo verj generally understood. Whero and how the exchange is to be mado we do not yet understand, but probably that can be found out in every district. Lit Out.

Tho following letter has just been ro ceived by Postmaster Geo. E.

San Francisco, Cal., July 1, 1879, Posthaste)!, Portland, Ohkoo.v Sir : Somo mouths ago a swindler giv ing his namo as Geo. Thompson, can vassed all tho principal towns on tho coast north of San Francisco, represent ing himself as tho agent of Coleman it Co., of 127 Kearny street, San Francis. co,-for subscribers to Andrews' Bazar, and received many subscribers, who paid him and took his receipt There is such a paper as Andrews' Bazar, but Mr. Thompson was not tho agent, nor is thero any such firm as Coleman it Co, in San Francisco, although many letters and postal cards havo been received at tho San Francisco postoflico addressed to this firm, all, so far as can bo ascertained, inquiring why the Bazar was not for warded. Lately another swindler is engaged in precisely tho same business in tho samo localities, except that ho gives his namo as M. M. Dennis, uud is soliciting subscribers for tho Journal of Fashion, a paper published in Oakland, and ho represents himself to be tho agent of S. M. Goodwin ifc Co., of San Francisco. Thero is such n paper pub lished in Oakland, but they have no such agent, nor is there such a firm as S. M. Goodwin ii Co, in San Francisco. Many letters are now lyiug in tho San Francisco oflico directed to S. M. Goodwin & Co., mostly from Portland and Astoria, and I suspect they aro making inquiry about tho Journal of Fashion, at least the postal cards so ad- diessed are on that subject It seems from a postal cam auurasod to Goodwin it Co. from Astoria, that tho solicitor gave his name in that city as W. B. Reynolds. From tho similar ity of tho plan of the swindler I believo that Thompson, Dennis nnd Reynolds aro one and tho same person. Tho editors of tlio Journal of rash ion offer a reward in the last issue of their paper for the arret of thu party who has been perjwtrating this swindle, nnd to protect the coplo from such in tho future I would suggest that you givo publicity to the contents of this letter.
