Mr. Ocorge Fishor.has itivenied a very ex

will enable the equestrian to ride the "dying
courser," with a great deal in ire ease and
pleasure than with llie. old kind of saddles, and
it will also be easier for ihe animal. The
improvement consists in having the iKiatoflhu
saddle portable, or capable of being detached
fro iii the pad, (the old ones nre fastened,) iiiJ
