CENSUS OF lS60.-As the productions of the year
about to close form large proportion of the ee-
ments of agricultural returns to be embodied in the
coming census, 1t is suggested that more than
binary care be taken by our people in preserving
accurate account of their various products of
the fed for, although the census year embraces
the period between the first day of June, 1859, and
the first day of June, 1860, including the latter
the amount of agricultural products is mainly de-
termined the present winter, and unless some care
is exercised the producer is not likely to be prepar
ed to make proper return upon the sudden and
unexpected call of the census-agent in the summer
In fact it would be well if every farmer and plan
ter would have and hold in view the Importance of
being fully prepared with statement wherefrom
the questions of the marshals could be promptly
and correctly answered. The reasons which should
induce preparation on the part of the agricul-
tural community are, at later period equally ap-
plicable to all classes of persons. 1t is graft
fying fact, and one creditable to the intelligence
of the American people, that in taking the seventh
census only three persons demurred to respond
ing to the questions of the marshals, and they
waived their objections when appealed to by
the officer having the general charge of that
work.
We understand that timely notice will be given
regarding the nature Of the information required
for the eighth census, which we hope the public
press will literally aid in spreading throughout the
land and it is not for moment to be doubted that
people, who are to reap the benefit of the know
ledge gained, will manifest an universal and cheer
full aacrity in contributing each their quota of the
facts, which in the aggregate go to illustrate the
condition and progress of the nation.-Nationa In
