re- 1t is nothing remarkable to discover
ridiculous blunders in the columns of a News
paper. Editorial articles are generally writ
ten iu hasteand mistakes in Grammer Ortho-
graphy and Punctuation are therefore almost
unavoidable. However, bulls are not confined
to the columns of Newspapers. They can be
found grazing in the pages of the classical
writer's of the English Languages. Instance

: The Census.-The government at Wash
ington is now engaged in preparing for the
eighth census since the organization of this
republic, and it has already issued prelimi-
nary instructions for carrying out that great
work, to the census marshals throughout the
country. The census officials are to COM
mencc operations on the first of June, and
they are required to complete the work in
every State and Territory within the earliest
practicable time. Ten years have elapsed
since the last national census was taken, and
in that period the country was in a marvel
lous degree of prosperity, highly developed
resources, widely extended territory. and a
largely increased population. Two States
Minnesota and Oregon-have been added to
the Union since then; and three new Terri
tories-Kansas. Nebraska aud Washington
have been organized under Territorial Leg
| islatures. The total population of the States
and Territories, according to the census of
| 1850, was twentJ-three million one hundred
and ninety-one thousand eight hundred aud
seventy-six. The New York Herald publishes
carefully prepared estimate, and sets down
the population of the country in round num-
bers at thirty six millions. De Bow and 9th
er staticians estimate it at thirty-two mil
lions, while writer in the Pbiladelp phia
North Anaerican puts it at over thirty-three
millions. 1t is not improbable that the Her
AIDS estimate will be found nearer the figures
of the total returns than any of the others.
