TIE ART OF SURGERY ExEMPLIFIED.-We look
upon Surgery. as. one of the greatest blessings
known to mankind, when It Is practced and car
ried out to the full extent and meaning of the sci
ence. And in our opinion the true art consists in
knowing how to preserve and save limbs and avoid
the necessity of using the knife. Any one possess
ed of much mechanical ingenuity can handle a
knife we'll A butcher can perform the operation
Of amputation with great dexterity. But the ques
ton is to know where to operate. In the practice
of medicine, there is great deal OF guess work,
or, as il has been called, the conectural art. But
surgery may be ranked as one of the highest and
noblest of the sciences, requiring not only skill,
but great Judgment on the part of a surgeon, before
its blessings can be realised. II these matters In
terest us, how much more must, they the Surgeon,
whose vocation it is to bind up the broken hearted,
and make the lame to leap with Joy.
We freely give publicity to the following case,
because it so beautifully exempifes the healing
process is not only interesting TO the profession,

mel for such publications, it nevertheless, scatters
widely useful information, and carries giadness TO
many sorrowing he art, without which, II would
never be the wiser for what is going on in the
world.

ANOTHER CONTINGENCY" IN PRosPECT.-lt is
stated in of the papers, that Captain Tyler was
very sick at Washington, and required the atten-
dance of two physicians. The sickness of the Cap
tain does not astonlsh US. II was to be expected.
The poor man has had so much to agitate, harrass,
and annoy him-he has been overwhelmed with
trouble-his mind been so distressed in searching
amonst the great variety of democratic parties for
the true one, which, after ALL he could not disco
Yer, that should not be at alsurprsed if he were
to die of pure vexation of spirit. No man has, per-
haps, ever suffered so much trouble in the Presiden-
cy as lie. If, however, he should now follow the
venerable Harrison, another very curious state OF
things would be presented In that the Speaker
of the House of Representatives would, according
to the provisions of the constitution become, dc
fdcto the President, till an election. Now accor-
ding to all appearances, the Speaker of the next
House of Representatives will be most likely Van
Buren, man, and an ultra Van Buren, man and in
case of his stepping into the Presidency, what a
scattering there would be amongst the present office
holders, some of whom are Clay men, some Of them
Tyler men, and some of them locofocos of all sorts
of complexion, and some of them speckled. We
present this contingency merely for the purpose Of
speculation, and shall wait to hear the next ac-
counts from Washington, when we shall see whe-
Their they be confirmatory the of the pos
sible occurrence of the state of things on which we
have been specializing.

CASE OF WYMAN.-It appears that Wyman has
not been sentenced to reside seven years in the
Massachusetts State prison. After he was found
guilty of embezzling 100000 belonging to the Wi
dows and orphans, his counsel filed bill of excep-
lions, and his is to be carried up The strong
est point in the exceptions taken probably that
the jury found the embezzler guilty 1t is well that
Wyman is permitted to escape; for the actual pun
