The County Election.

Tuesday, election day, was a wet and
dark day, and consequently the crowd
arou9d the various polling places was much
smaller than it would have been had the
day been fair. There was not Il full vote
pollcd in any of the districts The failure
of numerous voters to turn ont was partiC-
ularly noticeable in the Third (Elkton) dis
triCt, where the vote was near three hun
tired short of the registered list. The ma
.iority of voters simply came to the polls,
cast their vote and hurried home. There
was no disturbance 1T any of the polling
places There WAS some little drunkenness
but not more than is usual upon such occa-
sol$. The return judge met on Thursday,
at the office of he County Commissioners,
in EIkton, and counted and certified the

Old Dunbar who few years ago was
well known to the citizens of Elkton, II
quiet and inotiensive coored man when
sober but exceedingly noisy when under
the influence Of liquor, has of late removed
himself from the hauntS of men and retired
to Il cave or cabin which he has constructed
in dark and lonely spot in Manley 5
woods. Here he lives ali alone very rarely
coming 10 town. His cabin is built Of logs
filed in with mud and rooted with boards
and turf The interior arrangement is not
attractive to visitors. The only furniture is
n stove. Il rough hunk of boards and a
crazy chair. In front OF his cabin lie has
built Il bower OF Summer house, beneath
this he has table and bench and here i'll
mild weather lie eats and spends his time.
About fifteen years ago, during torch
light procession i'll this place, Dunbar re-
ceived 4 blow with d torch from some one
OF the party, which so seriously injured one
eve as 10 destroy the sight He therefore
now has the use of hut one eye. The spot
selected for his cabin is in Il deep wood,
where the sunlight rarely penetrates, and
all its surroundings, rs well as the singular
looking old man himself. are suggestive OF

LIFE AND WORK OF GARFIELD: Embrac-
ing an Account of His Struggles i'll
Childhood: His Career as Soldier;
His Success as Statesman; His Eleva-
ton to the Presidency: His Dastardly
Assassination. BY John Clark Rid
path, LID. Published by Jones
Brothers 4 Co.. Cincinnati, chicago,
Philadelphia, Kansas City.
The life, public services and tragic
death of Garfield furnish record of
more interest than any chapter Of cores
ponding length in American history
Under treatment of a mastery pen. it
expands to a narrative in which the
career Of of the student, the scholar, the
philosopher. the soldier, the statesman
and the executive, form panorama of
the most instructive word pictures known
to our literature-a narrative that will
command the study and admiration of
the world for evermore.
The author of the work hereby an
nounced is one of the most eminent of
living historians: 4 ripe scholar
thorough Investigator, and charming
writer. His histories are known aud
priced wherever English is the prevailing
tongue. He approaches this biography
with more eloquent pen than any here
totore used by him. because the subject is
an Inspiration to eloquence. to truth, to
reverence. to all that is admirable in
humanity. \ nobler theme for the
modern writer cannot be found.
1t is indeed fortunate for the communi
ty that an author so well endowed with
every qualification for the work has en-
gagged in its preparation. His name is a
guarantee of faithful performance. His
Garfield is that which occupies the in
most sanctuary of the American heart
and appeals to its tenderest sympathies;
that teaches the bravest lessons to our
youth and the nobleSt to our manhood; :;
that irradiateS from our national glory
brighter halo than ever illumes the men,
ores of kings and potentates. or makes
illustrious the conquerors of States. His
narrative is the electric chain which
transmits the wonderouS story of endur-
ance. triumph over obstacles. and final
achievement, that will live in the annals
of the world as long as virtue is rcvered
and true nobility honored.
There are other works which pretend
to recount the same history. Most of
them are revamped from cheap biographies
which were made to influence the Presi-
dental Campaign of 1880. and are not of
permanent value. Others are still more
valueless, having been hastily compiled
from articles in the newspapers and mag
azines. without regard to proper veritca-
ton or arrangement. DIR. Ridpath's
book is thoroughly authentic. Its facts
are derived from undoubted authority
and. as rule. from original sources of
information. 1t should. and doubtless
will, supplant most of the trashy pnbli
cations which have made Garfield their
subject in proclamation Of his fame and
for merchandise of his memory.
