The concert given on Wednesday even
ing April 2lst, at the Presbyterian Church,
by Miss Gertrude M. Snow and pupils, as
sisted by Paw Paw singers, was attended by
quite a numerous audience and gave salts
faction TO all lovers of music. Two piano
duets, one by Misses Harwick and Koons,
and one by Misses Snow and Harwick, were
very skilfully executed. Master Eo Nash
and Julia Harrison also played a duo,
which called forth q round OF applause
Piano selections were given by Misses Julia
Harrison, Gertrude Barrows, Gertrude Beebe,
and Maud Hawkins, and Master Eo Nash,
all of which were nicely done. and re-
Elected great credit on Miss Snow as
teacher. Miss Gertrude Barrows
brought down the house, by whist
ling solo from the Mikado, and was obliged
to repeat to an encore. Mrs. +. NJ. Russell
and Mrs. Emma Paige, two of Paw Paws
best sopranos, each gave a vocal solo, and
quartette of gentlemen rendered yacht
ing chorus in fine style. Taking all these
into consideration, the concert was sue
cess.
Mr.. Geo. B. Boughton, who was formerly
druggist and postmaster at Gobleville, now
residing about mile and half west of De
catur, has son about fifteen years of age.
Last winter, about the middle of January, the
lad received an injury to one of his legs, near
the knee, caused by hard snow ball thrown
by schoolmate. The injury continued to
grow worse and the leg became badly
swollen. By the advice of DR.. Baker of
Decatur, under whose treatment the lad had
been placed, the father consulted Drs. Andrews
and Hilton of this village and subsequently,
DR.. Osborne of Kalamazoo. The result of
such consultation was the conclusion that
there was an injury to the bone and that the
leg would have to be amputated. Accord
ingly, on Friday last, Drs. Andrews and Hill
ton of this place, and Drs. Baker and Kea-
bles of Decatur, made another examination
and determined to remove the limb. The
operation was successfully accomplished, the
leg being amputated near the hip. The lad
bore the operation like young hero and
will probably recover. The bone was found
to be badly injured and, had the operation
not been performed, the boy would inevita-
bly, have lost his life. The injury was wholly
accidental, but it illustrates the danger of
throwing balls of ice in sport. The unfor-
tunate lad and his relatives have the earnest
sympathy of many friends.
