Curiosities ofthe Census.

Through the courtesy of County Clerk
Metivier we have been permitted to eX-
anime the returns from the census emu
meratOrs, filed in his Office, and CLEAN
from them the following items of inter-
est and curiosity.
Smiths and McDOnalds lead in the
number of persons, there being o6 of the
former and 60 of the latter.
Situated in republic, as we are. we
find royalty represented by % Kings, Is
DOdges and number of Pages.
The spiritual welfare of our citizens
is not neglected. We find there is one
Parish with Temples having thirteen
different Bells, giving A Calls to attend
ON the ministratiOn of IA Cardinals, 1
Bishop, Divines, Parsons, and large
number of patton saints, there being est.
AntOines, 4 st. Aunges, 9 ST. ArmOures,
st. Germain and st. Martin. There are
also Shepherds with their Fife, to look
after the different flOcks.
The topography of the county is var
ried. We find there are Hills, 3
Marshes, BOggs, Woods and Wilds,
Fields and Littlefields, with Bushes,
Weeds and Burrs. Three Rivers and 4
Brooks, with seven FOrds and Crooks.
Quite variety of cOlOrs may be found,
1 Black, 2 Whites different Browns, 4
Bluffs, Greens and / Gray.
Means of communication are some
what limited, there being only Rhodes
and Pixies.
Although the engineers have but run
the line of the railroad, we find there are
already on the ground 8 Cars with 22
Carriers ready to go to work.
There are Mills with 13 Millers and
IL Bakers and Cook to use their pro-
ducts.
The different industries are we'll rep
resented, as we find there are 21 TaylOrs,
BARRIERS, IL Gardeners, 40 Fishers, 4
Dyers, 5 Miners, Spinner, Mason and
Harpers. .-.-. 49,.
But little reference is made to the
weather as we can only find mentioned
one Raine and l Frost although the re-
cords show that it was Cool 4times.
That this is healthy country, where
people seldom die, is shown by the fact
that only 10 Graves were found.
There are 10 different Birds mention
ed, beside Crow and Z Cranes. Of AMI
mails we found quite number, as fol-
lows: Is Lyons, Ii Martins, 1O Harris,
10 Bucks and Is Does. These are looked
after by FOresters and l Fowler, and
we find on record Hunts with HOrnes,
adorned with rare Jewels, which can
be heard Farr and Near. We find re-
corded few Decent people, number
who are Smart and Sharp but only one
Bully, who indulges in his Beers, but as
there is Law there is Hope for even
him to reform.
For the benefit of the ladies we would
say there are a number of Bachelors
several who are Young, at that, some of
them are sporting Canes, as we see them
mentioned, and we would not wonder If
some of them were Majors as the records
show 8 of the latter i'm the county.
France and Poland are the only cOun-
tries mentioned, although there were
some Irish and Welsh on the lists.
There is fine crop of Roses and Prim-
roses. 1t has been generally supposed
that the Indians of this section are at
least semi-civiliZed, but we find that
there were Savages found. While there
is one Short there is more than one Tall
man, the list show 80, and ! Bigger than
either.
Of fruits and farm products we found
Cherrys and Lemons. small quanti-
ty of Rye with fair crop of Hay.
