FINGER AMPUrATED.-We mentioned
few days since the accident to Colonel
Coruthers, United States Assessor of
Internal Revenue for this District, bv
which the flesh was completely stripped
from the little finger of his left hand.
When We last saw the Colonel he was
of opinion that the finger could be saved.
We are sorry to say that his hopes have
proved false, and that it was found nc
cessary to take the finger of, day or
two since.

PREPARE FOR THE CENsUs-TAKER.-l
The census-takers are at work IN the
upper wards of the city. tits important
that full and correct answers be made
to all questions that are asked that are
legitimate. Every head Of a household
can do much by acquainting himself
with the questions to be answered, and
by framing his answers beforehand to
facilitate the work. There are two
schedules of questions to be asked. The
first, relating to those who were living
on June LIST, consists of the following,
which are applicable to both males and
females:
|. Name of each person in full.
>. Age at the last birthday, and num-
her OF wears, if over one year old; but
if under one year, the number of months
must he given in fractions, as tl2, 7-l2,
etc.

dian, Chinese.
). Profession or occupation Of males
and females.

give the State; if foreign, give the
country.
9. 10. Birthplace of parents, father
and mother as above-as John Lenta.

II. If born within the year state the
month-as June July, April.

school within the year.
II. If he or she cannot read, state
the fact.
ID. If he or she cannot write, state it.
l6. If deaf and dumb, blind, insane
or idiotic, state the fact.
And the two following, which relate
to male alone:
II. Is he citizen of the United
States, u years old, naturalized?
Is. If a citizen, has his right TO vote
been denied or abridged, for any cause,
except for rebellion or crime?
The second schedule bears eleven in
ouiries as to those who died in the year

follows;

cupation; | |, disease, or cause of death.
BY making q written list Of the
names of the members of family and
answering under each name the in
quirieS above given, each family head
may do hi part toward simplifying the
marshal's task and giving value 10 his
returns.
The existence of such paper would
obyiatc any necessity Of his getting in
sufficient or incorrect information Of
the alternative of making several calls
at the same house.
There are three other schedules,
aS to agriculture, manufacture and so
cial statistics. OF these the answers
cannot well be- made except personally :;

OF the contract money as the work progress
ed, finally closed up the matter with the ar
tist by giving him small sum of money,
and surrendering all claim to the unfinish-
ed skeleton.
The artist, having more faith in the spec
ulation than Mr.. Barnum, concluded to 60
on and finish the skeleton, and carry out
the original programme. This was to buy
u quarter section of land in some part of
the great West, where population was
sparse, and bury the skeleton. In due
time, when it was supposed TO be "ripe,' a
log house was erected by some supposed
actual settler, and of course a well was re-
quired to be dug. Laborers were hired,
and under the direction of the proper per-
son, excavation was commenced, and re-
markable to say, the bones of giant, a
remnant of former ages, were discovered !!
The diggers gave testimony as to the lind
ing. Clergymen, Judges, and other relia-
ble dignitaries, were summoned TO be pres
ent at the final exbumation, and whole
columns of honest testimony was prepared
as to the authenticity of the discovery. But
it required the genius Of Barnum to make
this discovery yaluable-lhis was wanting,
as at that time B. was busy making money
with Tom Thumb, building Iranistan and
other speculations; SO that, after brief
period, the thing died out. ''The best Of
the joke" said Barnum, twas an applica-
ton of the German artist to exhibit this
veritable relic of an antediluvian age (?) at
the Museum. Of course | couldn't stand
that. t."-Bufalo Express.
