Census of 1seO-Questions IN, to be Answered.

Census of f1S6O-QuestiOns TO be Answered.
On the first of June the work Of taking
the census commences. 1t is desirable that
it be taken with great accuracy, and to ena-
BILE the assistant marshals who will be en-
gaged in the performance of this duty to
have their work well done, it has been sug-
gested that the publication of the questions
necessary for all heads of families to an
swer, would be of benefit. By this course
the requirements 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 ac-
curacy. With this view we have obtained
the following list of the question to be an
swered, and if the press of the State of all
parties will publish it, we think the popua-
ton and resources of Ohio will make a
much better showing than they otherwise
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 will be able
to make a much more correct statement
than would be the case in hurried inter
view with an officer
