SaAAlins to Perfection.

yUluONAS G. pPETTYMAN has lately Patenti,
L and is now Manufacturing, Spring Saddle, nm
superior to any that have hitherto been offered te
public. This Improvement consists IN the susPewh
of the whole seat by two C springs similar to ag
sprinr, which being screwed on the back part ofpe
cante the saddle, receives iron bar, formingie
sweep of the cantle thus preserving from receiss
any injury 5y horse rolling in the saddle; and mahg
the saddle tree firm than it would otherwisee
which cannot fail to give ease to both horse and rrr
frame also enters the back OF the cante OF the sa'
calculated to raise the vace or pOrtmanteau, and KIP
il entirely clear of the horses back. This can beut
on or removed in moment.
Inorer to prove to the public the superiority ottbse
Saddles, he will give few extracts OF letters hm
