"A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.

The joyousncsS incident to Christmas
Eve was sadly shocked in our com,n,,,
nifty by the sudden and violent death OF
Mr.. Arthur NJ. Benedict. at the hands OF
Mr.. John c.. Ferguson, on Wednesday
9th instant. Mr.. Benedict was n clerk

was about twenty-five years Of age and
unmarried. His death so sudden and
unexpected, was a great shock to tho
whole community. His body was taken
to Columbia for interment.

after the killing he was put in Jail wher,

AFTER CHRISTINA AS.

The dullness that falls upon Us after
Christmas is appalling.
We have looked forward with 50 much
pleasure to the coming Of Christmas.
and have found that the joys of antici-
patton have exceeded the reality, SO that
there is an element Of disappointment in
the emotions with which VIC look back.
1t may be too, we have entered with too
much Zcst into the fcStivitic, incident to
the occasion, and are rcpcnting our too
deep draught of the pleasures Of the oc-
casion. But perhaps the most poignant
emotion incident to the time after Christ
mas is the reflection that we are grow
ing older, and that another year with its
sorrows and disappointmcnts, its success.
cs and its failures has been added to the
record of our lives. Involuntarily the
events of the year just past ohtrudc'
themselves upon our attention. and
whether they be gladstone or unwrl-
come rccollcctions they insist upon stay
ing with us to make up the history OF
our experiences. We stand face to fl c.
too, with the events that the year before
us must bring forth, and its uncertainties
and dangers arc not made lighter by tn.
sombrc character Of our thoughts.
1t is difficult to come back to the
dull routine Of work, and the reaction
from gaiety and fcstivity to the cares
and troubles Of daily life is slow and
painful. SO that the period OF time 'aC-
ter Christmas" is not a joyous one. and
we learn again with painful impressiyc-
ness that pain follows joy like its shad-
