vVyHOMAs G. PRErrYMAN has lately Patented,
L and is now Manufacturing, Spring Saddle, much
superior any that have hitherto been offered to the
public This provement consists in the suspension
of the whole seat by two springs, similar to SIG
sprng, which being screwed on the back part OF the
Cantle of the saddle, receives an iron bar forming the
sweep Of the can.le; thus preserving from receiving
any injury by horse rolling in the saddle; and making
the saddle tree firm than it would otherwise be;
which cannot fail to give to both horse and rider
frame also enters the back of the cante OF the Saddle
calculated to raise the vace portmanteau and keep
entirely clear of the horses back This can be put

Saddles, he will give few extracts OF letters from

LITERARY NOTICE.

We are informed that second edition of the Uni
| versa Geography Ancient and Msdern, by VIM. c..
Woodbridge and E. Willard which has been revised
and prepared for the press in France by Mr.. Wood
bridge, under the most favorable opportunities possible
for Improvement and forthe correction of errors now
in press in this country and will soon be published
| accompanied by modern and ancient maps, and exc
! cuted in very neat style OF workmanship.
We look for this new edition with high expecta-
TONS 1t is generally known that the plan upon which
Mr.. Woodbridge's and Mrs. Wizards School Geog-
raphies is constructed, is in many respects and
original; especially SO is the idea of Comparison and
Classification in its application to the science of geog
raphy as facility for aiding the memory.
The plan Mr.. Woodbridge, as adopted in his Ge-
ography, he states to have been formed and adopted
by his father in 1918. The copyright for his first pub
LEGATION taken out in 1890, since which period six
large editions ofthe School Geography have been pub
lished.
We have been led to these remarks from desire
that Mr.. Woodbridge should receive all the benefit to
which he has claims both from the merit of his books
and the devotion of his time, strength and resources
his avore study. Teachers, and committees fschool
and corporations, in selecting books for nroduction
should examine the claims of Mr.. WIS books, aud we
hope they will not be overlook ed amidst the
like publications that have since been published land
that assume the same appearance without equitable
and real considerations.
Mr.. w. has the peculiar talent of summing up
great amount of valuable information in small space,
and OF presenting it, in tang ble form, so as to inn
press the memory most strongly. We believe that
more Intelligence and a greater amount of knowledge
can be drawn from his Geographical Works, and re-
tanned IN the mind, than can be procured from any
similar work extant. The published opinion of tea
chers and literary gentlemen of the first responsibility,
as also Reviews from best periodical journals are
substantially in favor of Mr. WIS Book.

The patronage that has aiready been extended 10
the Caske, has not only exceeded our most sangune
expectations, but, il we mistake not is unprecedented
in the annals Of monthly literature. This success has
induced us to intend to give to the work more at
tractVe form for the ensuing year, well in liter
AIRY departments, in its decorations and ypographi-
cal arrangements. new font Of type is procured,
upon which it is to be printed; the size and number
will be considerably extended and enlarged; and pa
per superior to that used will be employed in its
publication: meantime, that every department may
exhibit corresponding degree of Improvement,
engagements have been entered into with artists for
riOus decorations and ornaments The usual number
of cOpper-plaes will be found and it is proposed
furnish each number with trO wood engravings, in
stead of one, as published. The wood engravngs
representing scenes, reierriDg incidents familiar
or interesting to most of our readers will be
panied by well written descriptions Of events and ex-
hibitions connected with the picture-eac rejecting
upon the others interest and value.
1t is our intention to render the Casket interesting
to the various classes of readers to whom periodical
literature generally addresses itself; we shall then
feel called upon to Search with renewed attention and
assduity, for the most interesting contents ofiorngn
magazines, while a proper inducement will be held out
tor native writers to contribute portion of Their abors
to enrich our Casket.
These regulations be effected WITHOUT any sac
rhce OF that light reading, and general magazine Of
small paragraphs, that must enter into all literary
works: nasmuch as the size OF the work will be very
considerably enhanced-ts contents, therefore. may
assume more diversified form, and boast an increase
Of solid matter.
The price Of the Casket will be $3 50 per annum,
payable within three months after the receipt of the
LIST number-but the subscription is paid in advance
81 5O will be received payment in full
The arrangements that we have made for the pub
LEGATION of the Casket, warrant in assuring its pat
rons that it shall equal attraction. any work o(the
kind that has been pubseed while its price is
scarcely half that of the most ordinary monthly publ

The patrons of the Casket who intend to continue
the work after the present year,wl please to intimate
their wishes by sending the subscription in adrace
the increasing expenses of the paper printing,

promptly.

1t may be well to state that the "Casket for 1897"
will form distinct volume, 81 so per annun; and,
on its completion, will contain thirty-sx splendid en-
