Census Questions.

Editor Rutland Herald::-T the far.
mers of Clarendon, Shrewsbury and Sher-
burne A few days experience in taking
the census has rendered it expedient to
publish a series of questions that the
marshal is obligated to make and the far
mers to answer. And in order TO facili-
tate the business in this sub division, the
assistant marshal earnestly requests the
farmers to prepare answers to these ques-
tiens, and leave them at their houses, as
much for their own convenience as for his
benefit. The marshal gives praise for the
uniform courtesy and kindness that he has
received, still he cannot afford to figure
up every farmers butter, cheese, wool, po-
tatoes, corn, ETC., and make estimates of
the value of his real or personal estate ;
neither can he afford to wait full hour
for you to go into figuring to get esti-
mates Neither does the farmer like to
be called from the hay field to answer
questions THAT his wife or daughter has

The second session of the Forty first
Congress was adjourned sine die on Fri
day afternoon at 5 o'clock, decently and
i'll order.
1t was IL noticeable fact that there
wts no rowdyism in the closing hours,
aud that the President has. signed every
hll by daylight.
Taken as whole, the session of Con-
gres just closed will compare very credit.
ably with any of its predecessors.
While all the appropriation bills
were passed, it is worth noticing that nc
jobs were got through worth speaking of
Butler was quite anxious for an ex.
ira session, and had the Indian bill failed
his wishes would have been gratifed.
The President takes the failure OF
some of his plans good naturally, and on
the whole is glad to have Congress de-
part. His triumph in the removal of Mot.
ley is all he can ask.
But the Statute Book records, as the
work of the session, the funding of the
public debt, the reduction of taxation
the reconstruction of the tariff, the cur
tailment of national expenditures, and
other praiseworthy acts.
