The Perfection of Surgery.

We are more than ordinarily gratified in copying the following article, from the ROn- dout Freeman, because Dr. Kennedy (whose skillful management of the case reported has deservedly placed him in the highest rank of surgeons) is the disceverer of the much spoken of Favorite Remedy. A private letter from a gentleman of Rondout, written without Dr. Ks knowledge, alluding to the case, says: ''l know the patient well, and know that he has been unsuccessfully treated by eminent New York physicians"
 SURGICAL OPERATION. The operation of lithotomy (removal of stone from the bladder), one of the most severe and critical operations which the surgeon is called on to perform, was successfully performed on Tuesday, upon MT. Henry H. Pitts, merchant of this city, by Dr. Kennedy, of Rondout. Several friends of the patient witnessed the operation. Mr. Pitts had suffered several years from this difficulty, but it was only week before the operation that he was made aware of the real cause of his complaint. The Doctor was warmly con- graduated upon the success of his operation, and the opinion of the medical gentlemen pres ent is that the patient will make good recov- cry.
 REoovERY-Mr Henry H. Pitts, who was recently operated upon by Dr. Kennedy for removal of stone from the bladder (says the Rondout Freeman of the 9th inst. ), has recOv- ereQ rom the eIIeCLS incident to the operation, the closure of the wound being complete on the 18th day. His general health is good-bet- terthan it has been for years while he is perfect ly free from those distressing symptoms so characteristic of the disease with which he suf- fered, and that necesstated a resort to surgical treatment as the only means by which his life could be saved. The speedy restoration of Mir. Pitts to health is certainly worthy subject of congratulation, and we heartily extend ours to all parties concerned. Had this and similar cases secured bottle of Dr. Kennedy's Favor ite Remedy for one dollar and used the medi- cine in the early stages of the complaint, there is no doubt but that the formation of stone would have been prevented, thus avoiding the necessity of subjecting themselves to one of the most difficult operations that surgeon is call ed upon to preform.
 Favorite Remedy also purifies the BLOOD. cures constipation of the Bowels, well as all those diseases and weaknesses peculiar to Fe- males. This excellent medicine is now for sale by all our druggists.

It is a melancholy satire on theological con- troversy and persecution that William Punch on's little book of two centuries and ha!fagO, burned on Boston Common, sending its author home to England in bitterness and tiisap ,Oint- ment, now comes back to the city which Pynchonfound as curiosity of Dibiography. "The Meritorious Price, etc." by, William Pinchin, Gentleman in New England" Lon don, 1850, is snug theological discussion, in the form of two dialogues between a trades man and divine, in which, as might be sup posed, the divine invariably worsts his oppon ent. MT. Pynchon shows his ledge uf Hebrew and familiarity with Scripture, and we have noticed no exhibitions of acrinoiy or bad temper in the book. He attempted to modify the rigors of the Calvanistic view of the atonement, and, as he says, take several stumbling blocks, of offence, first from the pa- pists, and secondly from the poore Jews" Mir PynchOn's style was not quotahle, We re- gret to say, but we think he would have stood in these days with the Bushnells and Merriams rather than with the Dexters and Eustises. Christ as the mediator and reonciler is the bur den of his argument, and he says upon the last page: "The Fathers 'atonement or reconci- ation is the top mercy of all mercyes that makes poor sinner happy" He seems to have gone back to the genealogical meaning of atonement, as tue at. one -Inent. It was not bad omen for the future center of liberal and independent thought that it's founder discussed the flaming question of his day with SO much liberality of conviction, and in 80 judicial temper.

The DeYoung family lived %
years ago over their little store on
