The census enumerators OF this city
and county have not yet received their pay,
but being OF the docile kind evnce no dlspo'
sition to .'kick" as the enumerators of other
burgs and counties are doing and they do
we'll not to "kick' They can't all be paid
at once. There are thirty-two thousand OF
them, and the government, with its present
force of clerks, can't pay more than five
hundred day. There is chance, there
fore for some of the enumerators to starye
before they get their cash. They may find
some consolation, however, in the knowl'
edge that their heirs will get what is due
them if they should happen to drop of be-
tore their checks arrive.

We have recently received from George
P. Rowell e. Co., of New York, copy of
their Newspaper Directory for 1880. Like
all the similar and preceding publications
of this firm, this is handsomely printed
and we'll bound volume; it is also carefully
compiled and edited. 1t would be almost
impossible for an advertiser to ask a ques-
| ton as to the standing and circulation OF
any newspaper in the United States or
Canada that cannot be answered from the
pages of this Directory which, in all re-
spects. is an honest creditable, painstakiug
and useful work. We have had dealings
with George P, Rowell g. Co. for many
years, and have never yet had occasion TO
ind fault with them On the contrary, We
have found them prompt In payments,
reasonable in their rates, and energetic in
the prosecution of their business. They
have been honorable IN all their dealings,
and we take especial pleasure, such as the
publication Of their Directory affords, 10
bear testimony to this effect and to COM
mend to the renewed confidence Of the pub
lie firm that stands among the first of the
great advertising houses in the country.
