"Follow the directions und'all will be well."

This is the final injunction on the eve of the census by Mr. W. J. Carrie, Superintendent of Census, who with a host of enumerators has been doing little else for the past weeks than preparing for the monster roll-call of the Colony residents to take place at midnight to-night.

He is probably at his chief house for the night and is entered there. Who then is the head of the households in other of his establishments where perhaps neoncubine may live with her hildren? In many instances it is desired that the gentleman's name should again be entered, with the result that he will have been count- (ed several times. The procedure in these cases should be for the roncubine to he entered as head, as she undoubtedly is in, the ab |soner of her husband.
