Patent Spring Saddles.

A WORD To THOSE WHO ARE FOND OF EASY RInING.
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 a view if possible, to remedy the evil
He 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 to both rider and horse than saddles made in the
common way, any other that he has
sbly do The plan is entirely different from the En-
glsh elastic saddles with spring bars of steel, whale
bone, &c. and also from those with wire springs and
he conceves much superior to either, the elasticity
greater and the not being put out ofts original
FORM will not be subject to hurting horses on Journeys
which is complained ofn the saddles with spring bars
numper of gentlemen have those saddles now in use
and but one sentiment exists among them in favor of
their superiority. The invention is equally as appea-
BILE to ladies' saddles to gentlemen's Any person
DESTROYS of purchasing those easy saddes is at liberty
FIRST to make trial of one and Judge of their for
themselves. In point of durability they will be war
raned equal any other saddles and superior to most
