Scrofnla, or Kings Evil,

is unconstitutional disease corruption Of the blood,
by which thus fluid becomes stiated. weak. and
poor. Being in the circulation, it pervads the
whole body. and may burst out in disease on any
part of 1t. No organ Is free from its attacks, nor
is there one which it may not destroy. The scrofu-
lous tant is yariously caused by mcrcurial disease

the consu nption which dccimatcs the human family

The L. $. CEvsus.-Prosccuiion far Re)nsing
to 1nswer QueSiions.-As the deputy L. 5. Mar.
shals ure nav engaged in taking the census, tho
following from the Cincnna t Commercial is not
without interest here.
L. S. Marshal SiiFord served summonses yester-
day against three citizens two gentlemen and
lady. to appear before tho U. S. Circuit Court and
answer for refusing to make returns of their pro.
periv etc., according to the schedule prepared by
the Secretary Of the Interior under authority Of
nm act Of Congress for taking the census. BY the
Is section Of that law, authority is given to the u.
S.. marshal to prosecute all persons refusing to
make tho returns required OF them the penalty
imposed being $50 and costs. ,..,..
1t appears, however, that taking tho census
is likely to prove quite annoying if not expen-
sivc to many persons. The Philadelphia Inquirer
says:
AImosthe very day on which the deruty
United States marshals commenced tho task o
census taking, class Of sharpcrs, having in their
possession book and pamphlet similar to the
kind used by the marshals made their appear.
ancc Mt different places Of business and private
residences in tie southern section OF the city and
after asking the usual questions rurloined what.
ever they could lay their hands on. The trick
was not discovered until the genuine census taker
made his appearance, and in mnny cases most
disagreeable DELAY has been occnsioncd by persons
who refuse 10 answer his questions, declaring that
the proper officer has already paid them q visit.
Persons should be on tho look for these gentle.
men. The bogus deputy. when proceeding the
genuine, places the officer in position in which
he is liable to be nsulted and ubected to suspi-
cou,
