A condensed statement Of the depostiohs Of
Arnold Boone, William Whsnn, Francis
Dodge, and Thomas Y Hughes, FLED in The
superior court of chancery at Winchesler.
HE, Dauenpsrf. g Others. against JAN, Peter.
Arnold Boone, being 6rst sworn, de-
poseth--do know that the warehouse of
John Peter was consumed by fire on
Saturday night the first of April, 1870.
| was flour inspector Of Georgetown at
the time, and inspected for said Peter
between the LIST Jan. ] $40 and ist April,
1920, nine thousand three hundred and
forty-fsur barrels of fiour--I was in the
warehouse of said Peter the same day of
the fire. John Kurtz having requested
me to inform him where be could obtain
a choice barrel of flour, went TO the
store of Mr.. Peter, about fire o'clock in
the evening oftbe day Of the FIRE, y HON |
knew had some choice bi ands, and went
into the third story of the house, where
were stored | certainly think seven
hundred and fifty barrels of hour--there
we're in the cellar, | should judge, at
least two hundred and fifty barrels more
and there were scattered through the
house further number, but how many
| can't pretend 10 say-have received
large parcels of flour on storage
when shipping, should any be landed on
my wharf, would ship that in preference
to turning it into the house and other
-four out--because both saving of la
bour and expense and the practice, /
understand, of every merchant. And
further this deponent saith not.
William Whann, being sworn, depo-
seth--did authorize John Peter, about
ten days before the fire, 10 purchase on
my account one thousand barrels of
flour, and gave him my negotiable note
at sixty days for 1850 dollars--did say
that he should place my hour, as he pur-
chased it, in small brick tenement, a.
bout forty yards from his warehouse
and which he bad rented. | considered
the flour purchased on my account was
to be stored 10 the said brick tenement
and il il had been burnt should have
considered il my loss. And further the
deponent saith not.
Francis Dodge, being sworn, depo-
seth--I was in MIR. Peters counting
house the Thursday before the fire
but did not 20 up or down stairs---there.
fore, knew nothing of the quantity OF
flour in store. | wanted to buy one
Thousand barrels of -four, which he de-
clined selling stating that be had none Of
bis own on hand, and would not speculate
by sale of his stored -four | told him
| should not want TO use it for two Oh
three weeks probably--but he still Fefu-
sed to sell.
Qassfion.-if shipping flour, and q

Patent Spring Saddles.

4 worn To THOSE FOND EASY RIDING.
The complaint against hard and uneasy saddles,
which is, for the most part just and general one and
is really grievance to those who have much riding to
do has caused him to turn his mind particularly to that
subject, with view, possible, 10 remedy the evil
lie can with confidence the public, that he 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 70 both rider and horse than saddles made in the
way any other that he has ever seen pos
sibly do The plan is entirely different from the En-
glish elastic saddles with spring bars of steel, whale
bone, &c and also from those with wire springs and
he conceyes much superior to either, as the elasticity
is greater and the tree being put out ofits original
FORM win not ect to hurting horses on journeys
which is complained ofn the saddles with spring bars
number of gentlemen have those saddles now muse,
and but one sentiment exists among them in favor of
their superiority. The invention is equally appca
BILE to ladies' saddles to gentlemen's. Any person
DESTROYS of purchasing those easy saddles, is at liberty
first to make trial of one and Judge of their ease for
themselves In point of durability they will bewar
ranted equal any other saddles and superior to most
