vu1uoMAs G. PRETTYMAN has lately Patented,
and is now Manufacturing, u Spring Saddle, much
suneyior TO any that have hitherto been offered to the
pnblic. This Improvement consists IN the suspension
of the whole seat by two c springs, similar TO a 9's
snrinp. which being screwed OH the back part d the
cautle ofthe saddle, receives an IRON bar, FORMING inc
sweep of the c%antle; thus preserving 1t from receiving
any injury by a horse rolling in the saddle; ana making
the saddle tree more firm than it would otherwise DC;
which cannot fail to give ease to both morse anu rIdsi'
A frame also enters the back of the cantle OF the saaoie'
calculated to raise the valice or portmanteau, and Keep
it entirely clear of the horses back. lhiS can De Pu'
