SadAling to Perfection.

NNHOMAS G. PRETTYMAN has lately Patented
Il and is now manufacturing, Spring Saddle, much
superior to any that have hitherto been offered to Ii:
public. This improvement consists in the suspension
of the whole seat by two springs, similar to gig
spring, which being screwed the back part ofthe
camille ofthe saddle receives an iron bar, forming the
sweep of the cante; thus preserving it from receiving
any injury by horse rolling in the saddle; and making
the saddle tree firm than it would otherwise BE-
which cannot fail to give case to both horse and rider
frame also enters the back of the cantle of the saddle
calculated to raise the vace and keep
it entirely clear of the horses back This can be put
on orremoved in moment.
Inorder prove to the public the superiority ofthes
Saddles he will give few extracts of letters from
those who have them in use-amonp whom is the late
Presdentof the United States:
