SadAling to Perfection.

uyHOMAS G P%RErrYMAN has lately Patented,
and is now Manufacturing, Il Sprng 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 c springs, similar TO 4 gig
spring, which being screwed on the back part OF the
camille ofthe saddle, receives an iron bar, forming the
sweep of the c%antle; thus preserving It from receiving
any injury BY a horse rolling IN the saddle; and making
the saddle tree more firm than IT would other" Use De:
which cannot fail to give ease to both horse ana rider
A frame also enters the back of the cantle OF the saddle,
calculated to raise the valice or portmanteau, and keep
il entirely clear OF the horses back. This can be put
on or removed in q moment.
In order to prove to the publct the superiority ofthese
Saddles, he will give a few extracts OF letters from
thos. who have them in use-amonS whom is the late
President of the United States:
