TO the Public.

WE. the undersigned, Saddlers, have
examined Boards patent Spring for
Saddles, aad also q similar spring sent
here for inspection by NJ. Sheets, of
Ssauaton, Va, and in giving our opinion
relative to their utility, we are compell-
ed to give Boards the decided prefer
ence. Boards plan does not require "a
ny such addition as that Of double slid
ing frame, as it only adds 20 weight,
bulk, expense and difficulty; for we
might almost as we'll try to get our
Smiths TO undertake to make steam
engine, as to undertake TO make one of
those double sliding frames SO us TO work
right. And if he hiss Intended it for an
improvement, in our opinion he has
widely missed the mark and we VEN
ture to predict, that when reverse de-
cision is given. it is by such individuals
rs have been deprived Of right to
Boards invention, and are unhappily
disappointed at the rise and progress Of
Boards potent. as likely to auPercsde all
others upon which saddles have been
erected. And 1t affords US pleasure TO
state, that Boards patent has gwen more
general satisfaction than any other pat
ent yended in this state. 1t is regarded
as one Of the most valuable inventions Of
modern times. We are disposed to en-
courage good inventions. Given under
our hands this 2Sth day OF May, 1897,
at Raleigh, North Carolina.

IMPORTANT TO PAINTERS.-An English
manufacturer has lately obtained patent for chemi.
cal solvent, obtained by disation om India Rubber.
This new material is solvent for all the resinous
gums particularly for gum copal, which il desolves
without artificial heat at the ordinary temperature Of
the atmospherea property possessed by no other SOL
veRtand is therefore particularly useful in making
varnishes II mixes readily with oils and ia found 10
he valuable mensrun for liqufyng oil paints; and.
without in the slightest degree affecting the most deli.
cate colors, WILL from its ready evaporation cause the
paint to dry almost instantly.
This discovery has excited considerable interest in
the philosophical world, not only from its extensive
usefulness but from two extraordinary characteristics
which it is found to possess viz: that in LIQUID state
1t has less specific gravity than any other LIQUID known
to chemists, being considerably lighter than suphuric
sther and in state Of vapor is heavier than the most
pondcrous Of gases.

We recently published san extfacf from an official
communication from captain Brown, respecting the
condition and prospects Of these people. The extent
to which that extract has been published indicates the
interest felt in the subject We induced therefore
to publish two papers, which find in the Phadei-
pha Sentinel, and which taken from the Indian
Register, paper edited by the Rev. Mr.. Mccoy, at
the Shawnee baptist mission The first relates to the
establishment Of government for the emgrated and
indigenous tribes, southwest Of the Missouri, meas
ure that has been repeatedly presented to congress
And we happy in being able state, that the BILL
Of Representatives, has been submitted almost all the
tribes, who have expressed in writing their desire that
it should be speedily passed. The second article en-
ters more infinitely than captain Browns report did into
description Of the improvement Of the Choctaws and
Cnerokees. ht
