was 81 years. The questions were general,
answered promptly, but some persons declined
to answer, fearing that the census had somcthin!
to do with an increase of taxes.

gagged this week in making up their returns

to count made in the Clerks Office, is q, 9Sl
One delegate in the Legislature is allowed t.

been accidentally omitted from their lists, ant
with prospect of success. The official figures
