ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

In our daily Of February 2lst, and also in
our weekly Of the 28th OF the same month,
appeared, without the proper credit, an ar
,ice under the caption, "Any thing you please
here; or, the Drunkard of Perryopois." We
think it due TO the distinguished author of the
production, and also our readers, to say that it
is from the pen of the Rev. t. II. Stockton, of
Philadelphia, and was extracted from "the
Christian World" vol. ", p. 1928
We also failed TO make a correction in No.
II Of the Contributions from the High
lands" which appeared in our paper of Janu-
ary Gath. The reader will see by reference to
it that the word 'snone" should be substituted
for ''some" in the frs. paragraph, and 'peace-
fup' should be read powerful" in the second
paragraph. We make these Acknowledgements
now that we think to do so, hoping they will
be satisfactory to the writers, and that we will
be excused for our delay in this duty. Our
desire is to be Just TO all, even in small things.

DENTAL SURGERY.
DODGE & PARMELE.

MENTAL SURGEONS, Of Bond-street, New

in this city, respectfully announce to their friends
and the public that they have concluded to keep
their Washington office open during the entire year
in future at their present location on
Pennsylvania Ape., bei,0een 9Th g. 10Th SIS.
where one or both of the partners may always be
found in attendance They respectfully tender their
professional services TO their friends and the public
and invite all who may require the advice and skill
of the experienced and practical Dentist to call on
them, learn their terms, and examine their claims TO
public confidence and patronage. They would par
tcuary call attention to their patent method of fast
epng artificial teeth when set on gold plate which
is used by them alone in the city of Washington
The most prominent advantages are the following:
lst. II saves the pain attendant upon the removal
Of the roots of the front teeth when in healthy
condition. and makes those roots highly useful in
fastening the artificial teeth.
I'd. 1t gives the teeth greater frmness, rendering
them always much less troublesome and more use
ful in the process of maslication than the common
mode.
3d. 1t renders it easy to remove and replace the
teeth, which, together with the peculiar simplicity
OF the fastenings, enable the wearcr TO keep them
always clean.
The great improvement secured by this patent
needs but to be seen in order to be understood and
used to be appreciated. 1t is universally commend
ed by those who have availed themselves of its ad-
vantages.

scented to me letters from several friends in New
York OF the highest responsibility and standing con-
tanning the strongest and most favorable tes,imoni-
ais, both to the excellence of his private charac.
ter, and his superior professional qualifications.
These satisfactory evidences of the man and the
Dentist induced me at once to engage the profess
sonal services of Mr.. Dodge for my own family
and my wife and myself are now able, from person.
al experience, to add our own equally favorable tes-
timony in his favor as gentleman and skilful
Dentist. This testimony is thus given by me, as
well in obedience to the earnest solicitations of re-
spectacle and worthy friends in New York, who
have for many years experienced the skill and del.
i,y Of the Doctor in his profession as to my convic-
tons of his personal and professional merit.
