A SAD CAsE.-Mr. George P. Jordan is one
OF the finest of young men, of about "a years
of age, and the son of our we'll known fellow
citizen. Mr. Winthrop S. jordan. For some
seven years he has bsen employed at the lum-
bsr establishment of Messrs. Rufus Deering
& Co., as a clerk or salesman. A number of
years ago the elbow JOINT of his Left arm be-
came affected from some unknown cause
though probably from bruise received at
some time that he has no remembrance of.
After noticing it, for several years he paid
but little attention to it. supposing it of small
account. though noticing it most when getting
disadvantageous hold in lifting anything
heavy. As time rolled on it became by de.
grees slightly worse. On consulting physician
in relation to it about year ago be prescribed
some simple outward application for it, con-
sideriDg it some bruiss or lameness of no
serious nature. Time wore on until sometime
during the past summer while engaged
in the lumber yard he fell from pile of boards
which so affected this arm that along in the
first of the fall he quit business, he having
lost the use of his elbow at this time During
the month of September it was thought best,
in the hope Of arresting the disease that had
gathered, to remove the diseased bone. This
took place about the first of October b the ex-
cision of the elbow joint. Bat alas-it was
fruitless hope, for the disease went on until it
reached the shoulder when amputation bs
came necessary. So two weeks ago last Mon
day the arm was amputa.ed near the shoulder,
since which time he has bsen very low The
great sourcs Of danger is on account of the
assesses that have formed 10 the lungs.
The patient lies in q very precarious con-
dition and while there is some hope of his
recovery it is indeed very narrow. Mr.. Jordan
is spoken of on all hands in the very highest
terms. and if good wishes can save him his
life is assured.
