FOR the election Of various county officers,

1881, and their successors to ba chosen the
month previous. But at tho election last
year Oh amendment was adopted providing
thst an election for these officers should be

arises What is TO be done with the offices
in the interval
There ia q remarkable coincidence in IN
deaths Of three generations of the Garfield
family. Thomas Garfield, the grandfather
ofthe president, died suddenly while young
man, leaving widow and babe That ba be
was Abraham Garfield, who died as suddenly
in 1888, leaving q widow aud four children,
the baby JAMES A. Garfield, whose untimoly
death tho nation mourns.
General Burnside was devoted 10 his
beautiful wife, who during the war sent him
daily letter, After hor death she never
seemed absent fr' m his thoughts, and be
felt sons affection for her aged mother

Buffalo, formerly one Of tho healthiest oil

Importing Pictures.

Speaking Of picture importation, il may
be sdded that it will not equal former years,
simply because the supply is not adequate.
The immense demand for arst-class foreign
works has almost stripped the Paris dealers
Of their gems. and the best productions of
foreign m ssters are now found in this city
A. t. Stewart sci the example when be paid
SAC, 900 tor Rosa Bonheur and $50, 900 for
a Meissonier, and since his death Judge Hilton
and William II. Vanderbilt have maintained
the system. The immense wealth OF these
capitalists enAblei them to ou,bid European
princes in the patronage OF ART. Hence
many OF the French gentry who are In wan,
OF money have been selling their gems to
American amateurs and even pictures i'm
