AFTEU CHItlS'l'MAS.
M
Tho dullness that falls upon us afict \
Christinas is appalling. '
We have looked forward with so inin'h
pleasure to tho coming of Christmas,
and have found that the joys of antiei
palion have exceeded the reality, so that
there is an element of disappointment in n
the emotions with which we look hack. i.
It miy be too, we have entered with too
much /.est into the festivities incident to
the occasion, ami are repenting our too
deep draught of the pleasures of the occasion.
I>ut perhaps the most poignant
emotion incident to the time after Christ- !>
mas is the r<'11ection that we are grow- l!
inar older, and that another year with its
, . . tl
sorrows and disappointments, its successes
and its failures has been added to tin*
record of our lives. Involuntarily th<?
events of the year just past obtrude' j
themselves upon our attention, and t
whether they be gladsome or unwelcome
recollections they insist upon stay- h
inc with us to make up the history of
our experiences. We stand face to face
too, with the events that the year before
us must bring forth, and its uncertainties j!
and dangers are not made lighter by tli? ?
sombre character of our thoughts. J
It is difficult to come back to the a
dull routine of work, and the reaction '
from gaiety and festivity to the cares
and troubles of daily life is slow and (
painful. So that the period of time '"alter
Christmas'' is not a joyous one, and (
we learn again with painful impivssiveness
that pain follows joy like its shadow.
iil imiidiiiii'; tiia(;k?v. ti
The joyousnoss incident to Christmas s
Eve was sailly shocked in our commit- e
liity by the suchlcn and violent death of s
Mr. Arthur M. Benedict, at the hands of
Mr, John C. Ferguson, on Wednesday,
21th instant. Mr. Benedict was a clerk 1
in the store of Mr. Charles Auerhach, j.
where he was when shot. He was a f,
young man of quiet and peaceable char- t]
acter and habits, and had made many
friends during his residence here, lie
was a native of Austria, and
was about twcnt3--five years of age and
unmarried, llis death so sudden audi
unexpected, was a great shock to the .
whole community, llis body wan taken
to Columbia for interment. i 1
Mr. Ferguson is a son of Mr. .Jack)
Ferguson, an old and much lvspecled ^
citizen, and was married. Immediately
after the killing he was put in jail where -1
lie still remains. I -J
We print the proceedings of the In- Lj
quest, and since one of the editors of|f<
this paper is engaged in the case it is uj
not proper that we make any remarks on u
the matter. 1

It is our sad duty t<> record a most v
fatal and melancholy accident which oc* n
curred to Mr. William 10. Wharton, at l<
Waterloo, on the evening of the 18th
inst. lie was caught in the bolting on
thi> main shaft of the cotton uin of Mr. s
?J. T. Harris, and so terribly crushed u
and mangled that .he died in about two *
hours. Jlis salferin^s were the most |'
intense, until death relieved him. i ''
Death is at all times a sad event, hut |
doubly so in the case like this?a young j.
man in^the midst of health and in the j i
prime of life taken so suddenly, and in |
so shocking a manner. A ml to add still
more lo the niisfortnm? and to its painful j
