Sail Termination of a Hast.
A very sad accident occurred on
Wateree ri?*er near J. D. Harrisoa's
ferry on Tuesday last about 2 o'clock.
A party, principally from Lancaster,
were hunting and trapping- on the
rirer. Mr. "Win. Watson, of the
party from Lancaster, aboHt 21 or
22 years of age was standing1 in a batteau,
and in attempting to take a gun
from another batteau along side, haying
grasped the gun near the mazzle,
drew it toward him across the seat of
the batteau, thereby springing the
hammer and discharging the gun.
The wh*le load entered his mouth,
killing him almost instantly. The
verdict of the jury of inquest was in
accordance with the above facts.

We notice in the Charleston Courier,
that several of our citizens will be
wanted at the April term of the United

No warrants or summons have been

obtained that the papers will
be served in ample time for them to
appear. As yet the nature of the
r.ases in which thev will figure is un
known to us, and we suppose unknown
to them. As they are men who are all
well known to the community, it is
but natural that the public are curious
to know what they are wanted for,
and we will soon let you know. The

"WAS ES" THE COFFIX.
Came Xetr Being Burled Forerer from
Sl?fet--Klght Here la FairfUId.
A great many people hare a horrible
dread of being buried alive, and of
course such an occnrence would leave
behind it a frightful vision upon the
minds of those who might hare any
connection with such a gastly happening.
But such a case comes to ear
notics right ia Fairfield County. And,
but for circumstances, wbich we will
relate, just such an occurence would
have happened. We are informed,
fiom a reliable source, that, at the
staiion of Dawkin* in thi9 conKty, a
common pine coffin was seen tin the
depot, bv a party of two, who seemed
to be strangers in the community.
They very naturally asked who was
dead, and 6ome reply, which did not
allay their curiosity, was given. Aud
ihey noticed too, an appearence of
uneasiness and suspicion in the countenances
of tho&e present. So fearing
perhaps that a murder had been committed
they still pushed their enquiries,
ar.d wanted to know what hour the
funeral would take place. They were
informed that it would be that afternoon
some time, whereupon one of the
party remarked, well, "as we hare
nothing el<e to do, we wil! wait for
the burying." This remark seemed
still further to cause a look of uneasiness
on the countenances of the bystanders,
and also alarmed this party
of two, more than ever. So determing
to make an investigation without
further delay or information, they
broke the lid ?f the ceffiin open and
had they not done so, the spirits of
six would have been buried without
leaving their clay teueuaents. For the

Indicted Under the Dlspemary Act?Acqaited
Before Tilluas Trial Justice?
Tolanteer Spy.
__On Jantjj&rfoi, Sir: Jtintt X. CflaCP
den, of our town, was tried before
Trial Justice Jones near Rocky Mouat
upon a charge of "selling cider with
alcohol or liquor in it." Mr. Jesse A.
Gladden, the young man's father,
conducted his defense, and the State
bar-room was represented by a selfconstituted
spy in the person of William
Barber, brother-in-law to the
trial justice. There was no jury, the
trial justice acting in the capacity of
judge and jury both. Eight or ten
witnesses for the State appeared, mo6t
- ~ * . Jt *r__ t; I
of wiiem testified in xavor or jar. dim
Gladden. There were two, however,
who seemed disposed to lean toward
the State's side?one a white man and
tbe other a negro. The white man
testified that Mr. Jesse A. Gladden
told him that the cider wonld make a
man drunk. Mr. Gladden contradicted
thi3 by giviu this witness tbe
"stereotyped" lie while on the stand.
A white man, a witness for the defense,
who is well and favorably
known in the county, testified that
he would not beliere this State's witness
on his oath. The negro, Who
seemed to lean toward the State, laid
that be got some cider from Mr. Jim
Gladden and that it made him "lorter
drunk." But realizing that his brain,
like his hair, was rather short, he
stated that perhaps what would affect
his head might not affect white people's?on
the principle, that a short
horse is easily curried. Mr. Jim Gladden
contradicted him by saying that
he had never sold bim any cider and
did not recollect cf ever giving him j
any. Mr. J. A. Gladden moved for a
non-suit after the testimony was concluded,
which was granted by the trial
justice.

great prevalence of cold*.
Prof. J. J. MoMakan has been quite
indisposed, ami consequently haa been

The 6weet little baby of Mr. and <
Mrs. Jan&es Ed?rington died the 35lh
alt. from la grippe. The interment
to#k place at Rock Creek Church on
the aftern*on ?f the 31st. Dear little i
Davie's mission was a brief one. He
was everything lovely and interesting i
that* child of eight months could be, :
and was entwined around the very
heart-strings of fond parents and
grand-parents. All who gathered
around that tiny grave felt deeply for
the stricken ones, yet ?nly those berelt
in a similar manner could enter fully into
their feelings. It is indeed hard
to give our darlings up, but we must
remember they are where care and
sorrow, mortification and worry can
never reach them; where their beauty
and brightness will nev?r be sullied by
hp mdft finder of tim# or earth's all?v.
We mast thank God for the peaceful
rest into which they hare so gladly
flown in their baby beantyand sweetnest".

poor hnman nature, oiutt par her
tribute, and having waded through the
same dark waters, we can and do teel
most deeply for the bereaved,
We notice the mention made of that

of a human head, the front a perfect

THE OLD, OLD STORY. "
Messrs. Editors: Recently your cor- respondent
had the pleasure of a trip ]
:o the "historic county" of Abbeville.
Such trips are pleasant at all times, j
jut this was unusually so, owing to
;he object of our mission, which was
;o assist in transplanting one of the
'fairest flowers" of that fertile domain ^
to the rugged hills of Fairfield. I am r
bappy to say that we have every reason
to believe that this delicate opera- .
ten will
hat "Bachelor's Den" will soon be r
ranefarmed into a "bower of beauty
ind loveliness." Thus, what has been 6
Abbeville's loss will be Fairfield's?ain, t
md in consideration of the great and (.
)eneficial change that will be wrought o
ve trust that there will be no repining.
On Wednesday, January 17, accomjanied
bT a companion, both on ''pleasire
bent," I boarded at Alston, the^2
>'clock north-bound train ot the C. & J
ri
j. R. R., with tickets in our posses- f
;ion reading "from Alston to New t
Market, S. C. Without t;ny incident
)ther than is usually experienced in :ravel,
we reached our destination in
jafety, and were received and hospi- i
:ablv entertained by Mr. M. A. Cole1
man, who does a large and prosper- a
>us mercantile business at New Mar- e
ket. Ou the evening of that day the
3uiet of this little village was disturbed .
by an air of excitement aud expectancy,
and the casual observer would
nave surmised that something unusual
was about to take place, and had he
wended his way to the hospitable home .
af Mr. John R. Moore near by, he
would have found out what it was. r
As the "calm follows the storm" in *
nature, so it was in this case. At 5
about half-past live o'clock the excite- ment
incident to such an occasion was 1
succeeded by a short reason of calm
and happy serenity, during which Mr.
D. M. Milling, of Buckhead, S. C.,
led to the altar Miss M. Ellie Moore, of .
New Market, S. C., and were there
united in the holy bonds of wedlock.
The Rev. J. T. P. Anderson, ot Abbeville,
S. C., performed the ceremony, and
although brief, it was appropriate *
and comprehensive. *
After congratulations had been extended,
a brief respite followed, when (
supper was aenounced. The long table,
which would accommodate forty J
or fifty persona at one sitting, was
laden with the most tempting viands, 1
and was handsomely decorated with
flowers and evergreens. The bride
was the recipient ef more than forty
wedding presents, which was quite a
strong tribute to her popularity. All
of the presents were useful, and some
of them very handsome. She wa3 not
forgotten by relatives in the far North, ;
they, too, sending tokens of their love
and esteam.
The "wedding march" wag rendered 1
in an exquisite manner by Miss Almena

pjoyed themselves; nor did it stop
ere, but several successive days and
lights paid tribute to the votaries of
'leasure. At last the time tor parting

reluctant farewell to kind friends
