In case of refusal of any person to answer questions put which are necess- ary to obtain information required for filling the schedules. or of the enumera- ator receiving any information which is apparently untrue, it is his duty to warn ,the person against; the cause-- quences of such criminal course, and if it is 'persisted in, it is his duty then to bring the offender to justice, as p;ovided by the Act. - The enumerator must endeavor, tak- ing for his guide the spirit of' the law :â€" 1.1Not to omit anything of import- The enumerator will himself write the answers given to the questions aris- ing out of the headings in the most scrupulous manner. The Information must be the definite answer of the per- son to whom the question is to be put ; and the enumerator is never to take upon himself to insert anything which is not stated or distinctly acknowledged by the person giving the information. But an enumerator may assist the person giving the information so far as to point; out; any apparent error, or indicate a fact omitted. In every case he must- read over the facts he has taken to the Ierson from whom he has attained them, for checkingr the correctness of his entries. The census returns of'Population and Property are to consist. of facts as they exist. on the 4th day of April 1881. Returns whichnre to embrace a yearly period, such as the niimber of births and deaths, the enumeration of'products, &c., are to be counted for the twelve months immediately preceding the 4th oprril. Therefore, any person Who was alive on the 4th of April, 1881, although he may have died between that date and the date of enumerator’s visit. is to be recorded as if living; and for the same. reason infants who may have been born after. the 4th of April, 188l, are not to be recorded, whether dead or alive.

Therefore names of sea- men at sea, college students, and child- ren at schools,sick in hospitals, those temporarily absent at educational, chari- table. or penal institutions, are to be taken as ifthey were at home. And an enumerator finding any person whose home or dwelling 1a in any other Pro - vince will not make any entry of that name, as it will be taken 1n the Province where his home is.

ANNUAL MEETING:â€" The annual meeting of the Liberal Con- servative Association for ' the East Riding of York was heJd at Markham Village, on the 33rd of last month. A goodly gathering of the members were present. All the old officers were re-- elected. speeches were delivered by Messrs. Meek, Robinson, Major Gray and others. Some talk was had about giving a bonus to start, a paper in Mark- ham Village. If a guarantee was given that all subscribers would pay up their subscriptions, and a fair share of advertising patronage promised, no bonus need be given; but we are afraid From experience any man would be a born fool to undertake to run a paper against- an old established concern like the “Economist,” without getting something worth while.

The pro- lfessron. trade or occupation must be enter- Jed in full, as given. Mi'neral products will relate exclusively to the extraction of mineral products, and do not in any way refer to quantity manu- fuctured into an article of use or consump- tion The products of the forest are to be con- sidered as those articles being in the state in which they are got out, simply. and *not confounded with returns from saw Imills. The census standard for registering logs is made equal to 100 superficial feet of sawed lumber; In other words, one log will be counted for every 100 feet oflumber which may be got, from a given Quantity of logs. Shipping and fisheries \v‘ill set out the number of vessel owners, the tonnage, num- ber of vessels, number of fishermen, and the quantities of fish caught; Schedule No. 5. relating to live stock, animal products, etc‘, does not require to be further mentioned.

The causes of death are to be ascertained as nearly as possible without losing time, The iufmniation sought forin this census relates solely (-with the exception of the re- turns of population and deaths) to the amount ofproperty held at the time for taking the census. and to the total amount of products ofthe last twelve months be- fore such taking. For example. a farmer reports havinu' grown 500 bushels of wheat, of which he has consumed 100 bushels. sold 200 bushels. and h still on hand 200 bushels. The whole of he 500 bushels must be set down in the census. because the farmer appears simply as a producer. 0n the other hand, the Storekeeper or merchant who has purchased the wheat has nothing to enter in the census for this. So with a manufacturer who has manufac- tured 10,000 yards during the last twelve months. He is to enter the whole 10,000 yards. no matter what portion he has sold, or what he has still in stock. The enumerator must himself, in every case, 20 10 every dwelling or industrial es- tablishment in each district or division at which enquiry is to be made.

It is said that he again left here sober, but when he got to Elgin Mills he stumbled into the snow, and was picked up sometime after nearly frozen. He was taken into Joyce’s Hotel, and attended to, but nothing could save him, and he died on Thursday last. The funeral took place on Friday and was largely attended.

Mike dred from cold and osurc. - null. mu nut: He had not recovered from l his first freezing, and it is said was liable to fits since that time. SKATING CARNIVALâ€"What is generally considered as the “last carnival ,of the season.” was held on Tuesday evening last in aid of the Band Fund. The very uncertain weather, and the unpleasant. night prevented as large an attendance as on previous occasions. The ice was good, and many of the costumes rich and beautiful. Amongst, the neatest and prettiest were that of the lady from the far East, in all the splendour and glory of the attractive Oriental dress. The usual number of Clowns, Harlequins, Gipsies, Nondeâ€" scripts, Queen of Hearts, Negroes, Dutchwomcu, and other fantastic rcostumes were noticed. The Empress of all the Russias oondesccnded to mingle with her great rival, Queen Elizabeth. Red Riding Hood was represented by two or three young ladies, in very neat and pretty dress, one 1 of whom appeared to think that R, PM! H. has discarded the hood for a turban. A The Swiss peasant girls were well} represented, as was also old Mother Goose and her son Jack. "Old Father Time” was the best representation of this kind of character on the ice. The lacrosse player, jockey, Sorceress, and Star Spangled Banner were all good. The skaters and skateresses appeared to , enjoy themselves, and looked nice and I pretty, especially the-’treeses. r l The conference of the committee from the OrangeLodge of this city. With coroner Hard, yesterday afternoon, relative to the burial of Wm A Gregory, the man killed on the railroad at Lake View, amounted to nothing definite at the time. it was reâ€" presented that Gregory was both a Free Mason and an Orangeman. The latter had the assurance of the Orange Lodge of Woodbridge, Canada, but the Masons had no official authority. and consequently could not take any action in regard to the matter. The Woodbridge Lodge of Orangemen ap- peared to weaken on the matter, when they found it would‘cost ‘Tfilly 3100,. and after half a. dozen telegrams has passed between the Coroner and the; flicers of the lodge, the letter sent word that. the Coroner had better bury the remainsghere at theCounty’s expense. Last night and this morning the coroneraccordingly mode the necessary ar- rangements to have this done. Up to this r time however, the action of the Patterson Lodge had betâ€"n only to second and further the efforts of the Canada Lodge to have the remains sent on. They had not thought before of having the remains buried here, but after the coroner had made his arrange ments. the members ofthe Patterson lodge heard of the matter. and determined that a. lBt~otlrer should not. be buried as a. pauper, they held a meeting and decided to take “charge of the funeral at their own expense, None of them had ever heard of Gregory before, and they did this simply because he was a member of the order. This being a holiday, the members took advantage of a good many of the men being idle. and the funeral was held this afternoon, the inter-- 'ment being at Sandy Bill. The Patterson lodge cannot be‘given too much praise for , this charitable action. in preventing theirl brother from being buried at the public 1 expense. The name of the Patterson lodge of this order is “Heart. of Oak, No 9”, this body by the way, holds a reception at Ger. mania Assembly rooms this evening, and after their work of the day, they deserve to have a good time with the assistance and company of manyfriends outside the order. , My correspondence is rather long this week, but hope you will find space in your valuable and useful paper which is always humming.

He has gone over to the great majority. Mike resided in the classic shades of the romantic Honeypot region, on the 3rd Con. of Vaughan, a couple of miles north of Maple. As is Well known he had a slight weakness for ”the wine when it was red,” and sometimes it got a little the better of him. Mike left this village, some few weeks ago, for home,â€"â€"some folks say he was sober, and others say he was anything but sober. He got. bewildered on the road, and was found by a neighbor. in a halfâ€" frozen condition. Mike partially reâ€" covered from this little indisposition, and paid another visit to the Hill last week. It is said that; he again left here sober, but when he got to Elgin Mills he stumbled into the snow, and was picked up sometime after nearly frozen. He was taken into Joyce’s Hotel, and attended to. but nothing could save him, and he died on Thursday last. The funeral took place on Friday and was largely attended. The remains were interred in the )atholic cemetery,} Thornhill. Mike died from cold and The Singing School of this village had a very pleasant sleighiug party to the 7th of Markham on Monday evening l.ust They appeared to bea happy crowd. HoUsEWARMING.â€"â€"Oue of the most pleasant parties we have attended this Winter. was held at Sunny-side Farm, Thornhill. the property of Mr John Brown, of this village. on Monday even- ing last. Two large loads and a num- ber of sing'e rigs, filled with merry young people, arrived at the house about 9 o’clock. From that hour until} after three, happiness and mirth was depicted on every face. Dancing and other games and amusements were indulged in. “Sunny-side” offers every facility for a gathering of this kind having a thorough- ly good time, few houses being built in such a large and commodious style. Every one seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselvesâ€"especially about supper timerâ€"and when the. hour came for re- tiring home, all agreed that they had never spent a more pleasant time, and that it was by all odds- the most enjoy- able event of the season. CATTLE FAIRâ€"The monthly fair held on Wednesday last brought together a good crowd, and considerable stock changed hands at very fair prices. BAND CONCERT.â€"The Richmond Hill Band intend givinga Concert in the Masonic Hall. on the evening of Good Friday. It. is the intention to present an attractive and interesting programme. The proceeds Wlll be applied to procuring a uniform. We would like to see this Concert well atâ€"‘ tended. Nearly every Band in the country has a uniform supplied by sub- scription, etc. Many of these bands are not to be compared to that of Richmond Hilli and still our boys are not able to raise the needf'ul. By attending this Concert, the public will be afforded amusement and recreation, and assist in a worthy undertaking. Mr.J. Brown advertises this week that he will sell his property on the corner of Yonge and Centre street on very easy terms. This is a good chance for any person desirous of going into the Grocery or any other buwiness. See advertisement. Our Texas letter is very interesting thls week. AG. SOCIETY.â€" The annual meeting of the Richmond Hill and Yonge Street Agricultural Society' will be held in the Court Room, Richmond Hill, on Monâ€" day evening, March 7th, at 7:30, for the election of officers, and other important business. All interested in the success of the Society are requested to attend. FIRFMEN AHOY 'â€" The Brigade will meet in the Council Chamber on Friday evening next, at 7: 30. The meeting will ban an important one. and many interesting questions will be “discussed.

SoNs 0F HEATHER.â€"â€"The assembly held in the Lorne Hall, on the. 18th inst was a very pleasant and successful one.

The following is an account of the burial oftlie late Wm A Gregory. who was lately killvd by the cars at Patterson N J.. from the Patterson Daily Guaxdian of Feb. 22nd lSSl.

I believe are doing good work now, and have new music which, when the warm weather comes, we will be able to hear the boys trying to blow their hats off, playing lively airs on the streets. The Woodbr‘idge Curlers went to Toronto last week, and played a game mth the Toronto’s, with the same result as the last gameâ€" badly beaten. Don't known the score. On the same day a club called “the Grflxdfathers," played them on the same rink. and gave them another bad heating. There was talk of a Club coming out called ”the Grand- mothers" Club, to try them a game for the silver medal, but: the ice is getting bud, and they will have to postpone till another season. The C.

ECKARDT’S MONTHLY.â€"The first monthly sale. was held at the Palmer House in this village, on Wednesday last.

To Northerners of all countries, the south, or warm countries have been the resort of money makers, Ibelieve it will be 50 ofull the southern states. Texas as a field for immigration is ahead of the rest of the south. She has never been so deep in the calamity, which now cnst such a sombre hue over this social atmosphere. There is less of the black element, in her present population. Two only of their number embellish with their presence the present legislative halls, called by the News a bat cave, but to replace which 1.000.000 acres oflund is set apart to build with the proceeds at capitol . You know what the Negro is worth in the general work of civilizationâ€"nothing As a free citizen, or on a social equality with whites, in many places in the South, they outvote the white and elect their own officers. How would that sntt you. The general feeling is that the black cannot be colonized at present at least. They would rob and destroy one another. As citizens among,r the whites their prominent charac- teristic is that of shoddy aristocracy. of Dummer street, proclivnies of the moat pronounced type, even the most respectable among them have betimes a bishop Colenzo Blr about them, of “Telegraph” notoriety.

To the readers of the HERALD, however, I can. and must convey the intelligence. that there are in Texas today chances, un- equalled in almost any other part of the world. My reasons for making this asserâ€" tion are many and varied, yet. to a man of common understanding they are cogent, convincing: and palpable. To mention them all would take more time than I have and more space than you have to spare. Never before have I felt so much the want of the prime faculty of Newspaper corresâ€" pondents Viz. the ability to say much in few words or to convey anything like a correct idea in a paucity of words entirely inâ€" adequate to the subject. I ‘will have then to ask you to do what In this respectl hate to ask, viz, that from what, you know of the past, you will make what you can of my simple ipse din-it. it would not however be consistent for a paper like the Globe to publish what, would in evexy sense of the telm purport to be an immigrmion letter for this state. You know however that I am a Canadian, and tar be itfrom me to attempt what might be called wtitingr immigration pamphlets against my own country.
