Patent Elastic Saddles.

A WORD TO THOSE WHO r FOND OF EASY
The complaint against hard and uneasy
saddles, which is for the most part a just
and general one, and is really a great grie-
vance 10 those who have much riding to
do, has caused him to turn his mind par
ticularly to that subject, with a view, ii
possible, to remedy tbs evil. He can
with confidence assure the public that be
has accomplished it. The plan projected
is by means of strong and well tempered
steel springs, so constructed as to support
the saddle seat and give much greater ease
to both rider and horse, than saddles made
IN the common way or any other that he
has ever seen can possibly do. The plan
is entirely different from the English elias.
tic saddles with spring bars Of steel,
whaIebone, &c. and also from those with
wire springs, and be conceives much su-
perinr 10 either, as the elasticity IS great
er, and The tree not being put out OF its o.
riginai form, will not be subject to hurting
horses on journeys, which is complained
OF in the saddles with spring bars. A
number of gentlemen have those saddles
now IN use, and but one sentiment exists
among them in favor OF the!: superiority.
The invention is equally as applicable to
LADIES' saddles as to gentIenen's. In
point of durability they will be warranted
equal to any other saddles and superior to
most. JAMES VANoANl.

Tobacco. and is equl distant from either
Of those places. The road here IS inter-
sected by another public road leading
from the Cool Spring, from BryantowD, q
from Benedict, and places Bensville at
the cross of the two roads, and thereby
renders it an excellent stand Tor a tavern

trail a situation perhaps as any IN the coun.
ty. The houses at this place are in good
condition, the site healthy, a we'll of good
water at The door. and an excellent spring
quite contiguous. The land, which will
be sold together with the acre lot on which
The buildings stand, is generally Of a fra

and has upon it a great abundance OF rail
timber and 6rewood for the consumption
of the two places. The tavern IS sufficiently
roomy and commOdious Tor the country,
four good rooms upon the ground floor,
including the bar room, a convenient and
good kitchen, stable and granary, and a
substantial blacksmith's shop. Here a so.
Der, industrious smith could not fail TO

Two hundred years are numbered now,
since with the op'ning year
The " bite man breathed his ardent VOW,
And ra,sded his altar here;
From Albion's naughty sea-girt land
sLaconia's' Ancients come,
A patient, firm, and dauntless band,
10 seek a peaceful home.
And why should thus our Fathers spurn
Their native earth and sky?
With visions bod their iancies burn;
Their hopes and hearts beat high:
For, mid these northern wilds, they see
Perennial nature bloom,
And rivers roll in majesty,
To ~fertilize their home.
And mighty lakes are spreading there,
Where Eden Islands show,
And .chrystal hills are swelling fair,
W here mines OF treasure glow:
I'll! attnOSS u bSNNi i1lS
They gilded well the gloom;
They s~oftened oft the rugged toll
That raised our happy home.
Nor think such dreams were fables vain,
The mora We may find;
Though winter here in rigor reign,
No frost can blight the mind.
1t glows as pure, it scars as light
As oceans wintry foam,
1t is the tresman'S chrystal bright
The gem that gilds his home.
Then polished high the living mind!
Twas Athens Doblest praise;
By learning here with labor join'd,
Our laursis with our laws:
And God, who saw with tender care
Our Pilgrim Fathers roam,
Will ble-s those sons and daughters fair,
That grace and guard their home.
