II being now more than twenty years since was
first acquainted with the saddling business, and from
near six years trial of my Spring Saddle tour years pe-
fore it was patented, in order to prove them, ana near
two wears since on public trial, l can now with conn
dence saw, that a saddle made on this principle, is bet
ter in every respect than q saddle made IN any other
way, either with or without springs, and | Will give M
ty dollars to any man that can prove OTHERWISE OF
make any reasonable objection why 1t cannot De dohei
and will give one hundred dollars tor an Improvement
on them
These saddles are made complete at from twelve to
forty five dollars. The springs are equally as well a.
dapted to LADIES' saddles as any Others; and any one
sending the price of such a saddle as they may want,
it will be finished to order as we'll as l! personal appli-
cation were made, and when they receive the saddle,
if it is not according to their expectation, they are at
liberty to return it, and l will refund their money and
pay all expence of conve, ance to and from ID: JacS-
son of Richmond, and Frederick +. Kneass OF Peters
burg, Va. who have rights to manufacture these sad
dies; and any other person having adesIre to manu-
facture the same can obtain a right by paying twenty
dollars in hand and one dollar on each saddle manufac-
tured, or caused t, be manufactured forthe remainder
of fourteen years from the date of the Patent, which
is Thirtieth of September, 1928; and any one sending
the twenty dollars will DE furnished with a complete
model so they cannot fail to make the ssddle; this mo-
| del can be sent TO any part of the United States. Ii
any one wishes to purchase a rightfor a state, or coun-
ty, orcity, or town, he can have it on accommodating
terms. These saddlesare no more work to make them
than the common plain saddle, and the springs can be
made by any common blacksmith, and a boy that can
do any work can put them to the saddle-tree.
All orders from anv part of the U. States, either tor
saddles or Patent Rights, will meet with prompt atten-
ton by the subscriber, who is now carrying on the sad
ding in AlexandrR, u. {.

Private Entertainment,
1900 Reward.

WHEREAS lam convinced, by late disclosure
w facts, that my negro man NORRAGE, has been
engaged for considerable time past as agent
in the commission of more highhanded thefts, than
was first aware Of to the great loss of my neighbors
and myself and as believe the dread of further legal
punishment occasioned his elopement on the 10th OF
November last; therefore deem it an imperative du.
ty to awaken the vigilance of the community at large.
and particularly Of Sherifs Consables. and Police OF
cers, that this artfu scoundre may be apprekended
and that he and his concealed copartners i'll guilt may
be brought to condign punishment do believe, il
will appear, upon his apprehension, that Others aore
guilty than himself, have accomplished by his agency
their dishonest purposes. For fear OF naccuracy in
my last advertisement viii again describe his person.
Noragc is about feet inches high, about "a years
old of dark complexion, yet not OF deep black
lor; regular features, somewhat bOwlegged, yet Of
good figure for his height. His dress at the time be
disappeared, was roundabout and pantaloons, of
dark twillcd domestic cloth. he had variety of other
clothing, and perhaps supply of money, the fruits Of
his felonous agencies. The marks, however, Of tr.
tyve stripes but lately inflicted by order Of the civil
authority for an atrocious theft supposed at the time
to be his first and only offence will still show on his
back if examined. His sober habits and apparent Fl.
delty induced me to grant him all reasonable ndul.
gence previous to this He has been trained from his
infancy as house servant, waiter market man,
rage driver, SC. He has attended me in Baltimore,
Annapolis, and other parts OF Maryland. But he is
much better known in the District and particularly
in Alexandra, whittier he has for years, repeatedly
gone to market, and purchased goods for family use.
From this date if he be taken in the District or within
ten miles of its line, or within any part of Prince
Georges County, will give fifty dollars; ifn any otL
part of Maryland or Virginia, one hundred dollars;
and if in any other place, State or Country, whatever,
one hundred and fifty dollars, besides all reasonable
costs and charges, if secured that get him again
Fifty dollars also offered for the legal vcton
of any person attempting to promote by forged papers
or otherwise, his escape. Against all persons harbor
ing or employing said negro, will enforce the full ri.
gor of the law.
