I double checked last night - 15 November 2020 - and this census is still on Ancestry.com. It reads: 
1860 United States Federal Census
Minnesota > Fillmore > Canton
Page No. 111
SCHEDULE 1. - Free Inhabitants in Canton Township in the County of Fillmore State of Minnesota enumerated by me, on the 7th day of August 1860. [unknown] Ass't Marshal. Post office Elliata
Column 1: The Dwelling/house numbered in the order of visitation. line 4: 831
Column 2: Families numbered in the order of visitation: 801
Column 3: The name of every person whose usual place of abode on the first day of June, 1860, was in this family: Samuel Winch
Column 4: Age. 63
Column 5: Sex. M[ale]
Column 6: Color,{White, Black, or mulatto [Empty for all persons of this household.]
Column 7: Profession, Occupation, or Trade of each person, male and female, over 15 years of age. Farmer.
Column 8: Value of Real Estate. 2000
Column 9: Value of Personal Estate. 300
Column 10: Place of Birth, Naming the State, Territory, or Country. New York
[For the sake of brevity, I will be more concise for the rest of the household:]
Line 5: Mary is a female, 52 years old.
Line 6: William is a 19 year old male, who is a Farm hand.
Line 7: Albert is a 17 year old male who is a Farm Hand.
Line 8: Dexter is a 16 year old male who is a Farm Hand.
Line 9: Susan is a 10 year old female who attended school within the year.
The census states that all of the above were born in New York State. I do not believe that that is true as Albert's death record says he was born in Canada. I believe that this is a blended household, and that Mary is Samuel's 2nd wife, as Albert's mother Elizabeth died in Ontario Canada.
