Census OF Is6O-QuestiOns 20 be An-
SVveFed.
On the first Of June the work of taking the
Census commences. II is desirable that it be
taken with great accuracy, and to enable the
Assistant Msrshals who will be engaged in
the performance of this duty to have their
work well done, it has been suggested that
the publication of the qestiOns necessary for
all heads of families to answer, would be of
great benefit By this course the require
ments of the law will become known, and the
answers can be written down and be ready for
the Marshal when he calls thus saving time
and securing accuracy. With this view we
have obtained the following list of the ques-
tiOns to be answered, and if the Press of the
State of all parties viii publish it, we think
the population and resources of Ohio will make
q much better appearance than they other
wise would. To write down an answer to
these questions will only occupy a short time
and having his household about him to aid
and assist the head of the family win be able
to make a much more correct statement than
would be the case in hurried interview with
an officer.
In the first place, it is necessary to write
down the name of every person whose usual
place of abode on the first day of June, 1860,
was in the family:

read or write.

pauper or convict.

Name of every person who died during the
year ending June l, 1860, whose usual
place of abode was in the family, the age

lsttO, married or widowed, place of birth

the month in which the person died, pro-
fession, occupation or trade, disease or
cause of death.
In addition to these there are a number Of
other questions, the answers to which can be
obtained however, with little trouble. 1t is
hoped that every person who sees this request
will before the lst day of June, make out the
answers, and in case of absence, leave il
with the family ready for the officer when he
makes his appearance.
We have been requested to say that BY the
act Of Congress providing for the taking of
the seventh and subsequent Census of the
United States, and to fix the number of the
members of the House of Representatives"
Sc, approved May 23d, 1850, provides (sec.
tion III " that the Marshals and their assist
ants are hereby authorized to transmit
through the Post Office any papers or docu-
ments relating to the Census, by writing
thereon 0ffeidl business Census, and sub
scribing the same, with the addition to his
name of Marshal or Assistant, as the case
may be-"
That no unnecessary delay may happen to
communications addressed to the United States
Marshal in reference to taking the Census,
the press will do a service by the publication
Of these facts, for the information of Post
Masters throughout the State. r
