that no enumeratOr had called at his house, when /,
ps the enumeratOr, had called twice to get the neces

abOut the middle Of July last and saw one OF the
servants, whose name, believe, was Bridget Kane.
She was very particular In inqulring into my busi-

that was an Assistant Marshal taking the Uni,ed
States census and would like to meIber Of the
family. She told me there was no one home. This
assertion doubted, as had good reason TO think

tnere was no one nome. was about leaving, when
met c0Ored man servant, whose name Ibelleye
