feared will not be as accurate as it could be wilhed Several confiderable families have been greatly under-rated in point of number chiefly becaufe the inquirers have been fatisfied with information given by fervants Inaccuracies may alio have crept in among the fmaller and poorer families from another caufe The idea that they were to be taxed according to their number muft have tempted many to conceal the real one Perhaps on this occafion we might have learnt fome-thrng of the Chinefe Our correfpondent has heard the late Dr Franklin tell that on a certain day in every year a census of inhabitants in their different towns and provinces is taken for civil purpofis Qn this day every mailer is obliged by law to hang over his door in public view the number of his family Then the officers appointed go round and with little trouble txanferibe the different numbers from which they are able to give an exalt enumeration as their information is direllly from the heads of families who could not poflibly deceive was the temptation ever fo great asr every neighbour might with eafe difeover and publiih the deceit If it be not inconfiftent with your plan to admit queftions propofed

thank you and could not perceive that there was the leaft (hade of difference between her fome in the-queftion and my fome in the anfwer: But I foon found from a very polite fmile indeed that I had fpoken improperly From this circumftance I flattered mylelf that I had difeovered the proper diftinltion between fome and any fo far as relates to queftion and anfwer viz that when one of them is ufed in the queftion the other muft be ufed in the anfwer It was not long however before I found my miftake for the very next morning having been out till after breakfaft was over the lady of the houfe on my coming in faid to me Sirhave you had any breakfaft this morning I anfwered according to my rule no Madam not fome will youpleale to get me any Another good natur-ed lmile convinced me that I was Hill as far from the folution of my difficulty as ever I have confulted dilUonaries and grammars for information on this point but in and have therefore taken the liberty of trying this expedient wich I hope will prove more fucceff-ful Novice A POSTILLION Of low ftature is immediately wanted one who under Hands the Buflnefs and can produce a good Recommendation will hear of a Place by applying to
