CENSUS SCHEDULES.
The Supervisor of the Census for this
district has not yet been furnished with
all the census schedules. He is expecting
them within the next day or two, and will
at once bundle them of 30 the enumera-
tors. The family schedules will be dis-
tributed as widely as possible in the cities
several days before the "a of June. the
day on which the enumerators will com
mence the work Of the census, with the
hope that when these officers call
they will find them filed up and
the work thus far facilitated. Each
enumerator will be furnished with specific
instructions as to his duties, and the law
imposes a heavy penalty-both fine and
imprisonment-upOn any officer of the
census who may divulge any information
relative TO the census. The regulations
governing all the officers engaged in this
work are of the most rigid character. The
filling up of the schedules in proper man
ner will require an intelligence which, it is
hoped, all of the enumerators will have.
