Decorating or
PERCUSSION GUNS.

TIME subscriber respectfully informs
l. the public, that be is prepared TO alter
guns to the decorating or percussion prin-
ciple, at the New York and Philadelphia
prices.
The superiority of this over the old plan
is very evident from the general adoption
OF decorating guns by the sportsmen in all
the northern cities, where they are greatly
preferred to The use of flint and steel. A
much less quantity of powder is requisite
in loading, the FIRE is certain aud much
quicker, are completely water proof, and
loaded in much less time, more secure a.
gainst accidents than common guns; and
what would render them particularly desi-
rable, no fash can be seen from the lock
in firing.
Any gun can be altered to this princi.
pie, For terms, which are reasonable.
and any further particulars, apply to

Patent Elastic Saddles.

4 WORD TO THOSE WHO ARE FOND OF EASY
RIDING.
The complaint against hard and uneasy
saddles, which is for the most part just
and general one, and is really great grie.
vance to those who have much riding TO
do, has caused him TO turn his mind par.
ticulsrly to that subject. with a view, ii
possible, to remedy tbs evil. tie can
with confidence assure the public that I've
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,
whalebone, &c. and also from those with
wire springs, and he conceiyes much SD.
perior 10 either, as the elasticity is great
er, an i the tree: not being put out OF its O.
regina. form, viii hot be subject 10 hurting
horses on Journeys, which is complained
Of in yhe saddles with spring bars. A
number ofgeatiemen have those saddles
now 10 use, and but one sentiment exists
among them in favor OF thei. superiority.
The invention is equally as applicable 20
ladies' saddles as to gentlemen's. In
point of durability they will be warranted
equal to any other saddles aud superior to
most, !. JAMES VANSANT.
