WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE IL, 1855
The Census.

We learn, in roundabout way. that the
County of Ramsey has been divided by the
Sheriff into two districts for census purposes;
and that Sheriff Fridley is himself attending to
the business in the upper portion OF the county,
and q gentleman by the name of Brown-a
citizen of st. Anthony-is, "by authority !"
deyoting his energies to finding out precisely
how many people reside in this end of the
County-that is, in the division of Ramsey
known in the Apportionment act as the Second
Council District, which district includes St.
Paul aud Little Canada.
Mr.. Brown comes here to enter upon bis du-
ties with the best of endorsements as to his hon
esty and qualifications for the responsible post
the appointment of the Sheriff in his pocket;
but be is stranger in st. Paul and the
Second Council District, and may need little
civil attention from our people in the perform
ance Of bis duties. In his perambulations thro'
city and country, it is not impossible that he
may accidentally pass by some few out Of the
way places and habitcd tenements, without
enumerating the people therein domiciled
bility; but for fear such an oversight might
happen, it would be we'll for those in the dis.
trict upon whom Mr.. Brown does not call pre-
vious to the 25th of the present month, to
state the fact to us, or to some other editor o.
st. Paul. in order that Mr.. Browns attention
may be called in time, through the medium
of the public press, to any particular case Of
unintentional omission on his part. He has
only the remainder of this month allowed him
to complete his work, and be must, of necessity,
need all the prompt facility and assistance that
the people can afford him.
Our people, as we'll as those in other parts OF
the Territory, are interested in having fair
and honestly enumerated list OF inhabitants
We hope, therefore, they will aid the proper
offcer-who is a stranger amongst them-with
all the sauvity of manner they possess, in &C
complishing the really important work upon
which he is engaged.
