Newly Invented Spring for
Saddles.


The subscriber has obtained patent
Tor new Spring for Saddles, which is
pronounced the neatest aud best con
structed that has ever been made. The
advantage which this spring has over
every ether in use, is great strength and
permanency combined with elasticity
while at the same time it occupies little
space. The least motion produced by
pressure on the saddle sets the spring in
action, or in other words any pressure
on any part of the machine, puts the
whole in motion. There have been
three saddles made on this plan, and all
prove good. Those who wish to try
this spring will have an opportunity to
do so by applying to the subscriber in
Staunton. Arrangements will likewise
be made in few days to furnish them
In Baltimore, TO such as may find it more
convenient to procure them from that
place. Orders for Shop, County or
state rights, will be promptly attended
to. HENRY SHEETS.
