QT Patent Elastic Saddles.A isord to those who are fond ofeasy riding.The complaint agairfst Jiard and uneasy saddles,

which is for the mostpartajiist and geheral one, andis really a great grievance to those who have muchriding to do, has caused me to turn my mind parti-cularly to that subject, withaiew is possible to re-medy the evil I can with confidence assure thepublic that I have accomplished it I have project-ed a plan which is by meaus of strongand well tem-pered steel springs, so constructed as to support thesaddle seat & give much greater ease to both rider &hoise, than saddles made in the common way or anyother that I have ever seen, can possibly do. Thenlan is entirely different from the English elasticsaddles with spring bars ofsteel, whalebone, &c. andalso from those with wire springs, and I conceivemuch superior to either, as the elasticity is greaterand the tree not being put out of its oiiginalform'will not be subject to hurting horses on journeys'wliich is complained of In thesaddles with springbars. A number of gentlemen in this town and itsvicinity, have those saddles nowsin u?e. ami hnttentinient I believ e exists among them in savour o.their seperiority The invention is equally as appli-cable to ladies salldlesas to gentlemens'. Any per-son desirous of purchaling those easy saddles, is atliberty first to make trial of one and iudrt of tlifirease for themselves. In point of durability I willwarrant them equal to any other saddles, and supe-rior to most.

CP I have obtained a Patent from thp TTnlinrfStates for this invention, and am ready to dispose ofpatent rights to Saddlers, for other coubumstates It required, I willfurmsha tree with springsready fixed and strained, which may serve as a mo-del to wotkby, and will give the necessary instruct
