NEWLY INVENTED
Spring tor Saddles.

The subscriber has obtained patent
Tor new Spring for Saddles, which is
pronounced the neat.st and best con-
stIucted that has ever been made. The
advantage which this spring has over
every other 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 " ho 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 OF
State rights, will be promptly attended

ers of the New Shenandoah Company
will be held at Harrisonburg on the 10Th
day of June next, to take into consider
alton the subject of improving and ex-
tending the navigation of the Shenan-

The prac,icability OF accomplishing
(and at reasonable eosO such an i'm
provement in the navigation of the She
nandoah and its branches as would al
ford safe and cheap medium of trans
Portation of the commerce Of the Valley
is believed to. be unquestionable-tbe
influence Of such work upon its pros
perity would be incalcuIabIe. And in
order to deliberate and determine upon
the most eligible Improvement, and the
best means Of its accom- pIishment, the
President and Directors have deemed it
expedient tic call general meeting of
the shareh oideFs, and to invite and So
licit the attendance Of all persons (whe-
ther shareholders ,oi mott who feel in.
terested in eHecting the object in view.
The act of the GenerEl Assembly of this
State at its late session authorizing a sub
Scription on the part Of the State in aid
of this work, imperatiRely demands that
immediate action on the part Of those
interested in the improvement of the
Shenandoah, should be had. there

ers and others interested in elfecting th is
object, will be punctual in their attend.
