SaaAAing 10 Perfection.

VNHOMAS G. PRETTYMAN has lately Patented,
Il and is Manufacturing, Spring Saddle much
superior to any that have hitherto been offered to the
public. This improvement consists in the suspension
of the whole seat by two springs, similar to gig
spring, which being screwed on the back part OF the
cantle the saddle receives iron bar forming the
sweep of the cante thus preserving from receiving
any injury by horse rolling in the saddles and making
the saddle tree firm than it would otherwise be;
which cannot fail to give ease to both horse and rider
frame also enters the back of thecane OF the saddle,
calculated to the vace portnanteau and keep
entirely clear of the horses back This can be put
on or removed in u moment.
Inorder to prove the public the superiority OF
Saddles he will give few extracts of letters from
those who have them in use-among whom is the late
President of the United States:
