The Census.

The Census. .
! As the deputy MarsIials have entered on
! the discharge of their duties, and will call
on every family aud head of family in the
respective territories assigned to each, we
give this timely advice to all, TO be ready
to make intelligent answers to every ques-
ton which, under the laws OF Congress,
may be propounded to each. Any neglect
or refusal to respond to the said marshal,
purposely, subjects the derelict party to a
penalty of $50, to be sued for and recovered
in an action for debt, by the assistant mar
shall, to the use of the United States.
In order to facilitate the work, and aid
the public in making up a schedule of an
swers required, and 10 obviate the difficulty
which the assistant marshal may labor un-
der, by the absence of the person to be in
terrogated when the former may call,
we have appended list of questions which
are to be asked, that each head of family
may be able to have written schedule pre-
pared at leisure, and ready to be delivered
at any moment when called for. We trust
that we have no patron who will be ohstin-
ate in answering as required; for the object
of taking the census is laudable and indis-
pensable.
