Mr.. EDIToR:

Mr.. EDITOR:
In day or two shall be leaving for my
home in Quebec and would be obliged to
you for space in your valuable paper to
thank those people who were so kind to me
during my late painful and dangerous i'll
ness. In the spring was in the employ
ment of the Presque Isle Lumber & Brick
Co., working in their brick yard. Some
two months ago foolish young man was
giving an account of row that had taken
place between captain and mate at Presque
Isle dock, where revolver had figured, and
apparently to give emphasis to his words,
discharged a pistol at me, the bullet enter
ing my shoulder and passing through my
left lung. ] was placed under the care OF
Drs. Maiden and Newton, and am now SO
much recovered that the other day ac-
complished the distance between Alpena
and Presque Isle on foot.
And now allow me again to express my
gratitude for the kindness that has been
shown me by so many.
Yours truly,
EDWARD LArFpEUR.

There seems to be some grumbling
on the part of certain individuals in
regard to the recent change in books
in the public schools, and it is by
some claimed that changes in some Of
the books have been ordered entirely
contrary to the views presented in the
ARGUS two weeks ago. Now all that
is necessary to say is, that the facts as
then presented to the readers of the
ARGUS were correct, and if any
scholar or scholars in any of the pub
lie schools of this city, have been or
dered by their teachers to exchange
any books they were then using for
the new books of the same. number
and grade, such order was made without
any authority whatever, and response
bility must rest alone with the teacher
giving orders for such change, as the
Board of Education has ordered no
change Of that character, and has
not contemplated any such change.
If, however, any changes have been
made by any mistake, the parties can
have the error rectifed without cost,
by calling at the superintendent Of
fee.
