Census of Caledonia County.

We learn that Messrs. George n. Harvey
and Andrew Mcmillan have been appointed
to take the census of this County, and that
MIR. Harvey will commence his work in this
town in few days.
By little attention and forethought peo-
pie can save themselves and the deputy mar
shall great deal of trouble and unnecessary
talk. The duties of the marshal are made
Imperative, and all good citizens will be
ready to expedite his business. In addition
to the usual questions, owners of farms will
be required to give the name of the person
having charge of the same, the quantity of
land improved and unimproved value of
the farm and farming implements the num-
Der and value of live stock produce of the
year value OF animals slaughtered during
the year, and value of Observation-Disclosures.
In The products of industry, the mechanic
will be asked the name of the corporation,
company, or individual, name of business,
capital, the kind and value of raw material !;
the kind of motive power, and machinery,
number of hands employed and their wages.
These questions are not designed to elicit
information which will be used or published
concerning the business Of ar individual or
concern. The facts are confdentially receiv-
ed, and the deputy is not allowed to leave
them accessible to any one. nor to divugle
them. They will be published by the gov
eminent in connexion with great body of
similar facts, from which it will be impossi-
BILE to distinguish those Of individuals or cor
porations.
Mechanics, employed in the villages, are
particularly requested to leave their names,
age and residence a, tn cir boarding houses,
as it will greatly facilitate the labors of the
marshal. The follow az section of an act of
Congress in relation to the taking of the
census, specifies the duties of people to the
officer:
