Haines' Patent
SAFETY BRIDLE
The Best and Most Effectual in Use.
"VUMEROI'S patents hive been issued and various
it improvements made on Safety Bridles, hut lo re
is nothing invidious in saying that the invention pa
tented by Joseph O. Haines of this p ace is superior
to any vet offered, combining features of simplicity
and power in guiding and surging a horse or horses
which no other possesses The essential feature of
this patent is in providing the driving rein with shift
ing bearings, which form the points of attachment
between the rein and bit rings, and thus act upon the
bit directly, when easv and steady driving will con
trol the animal, but when it requires a more severe
application of the bit said bearings leave the bit rings
and give way to the straps to which they may he at
tached. This is aii done by the regular driving line,
no extra one being required, wliicli ought to satisfy
every person of the great superiority ot this inven
tion to anv other.
The following certificates from well known gentle
men, some of whom have had much experience with
horses will show the estimation in which this bridle
is held :
I.EWISTOWN. Aug. 21. 1806.
Having occasion to try the Safety Bridle invented
by Joseph C. Haines, of this town, upon my runaway
mare, the result has proven to rny entire satisfaction
that any hcrse can lie prevented from running otf or
kicking. Mr. H. M. Pratt, whose large experience
with horses induced ine to call upon him to drive my
mare and test the safety bridle, concurs in the opin
ion that it is the best bridle that has for its object the
entire, control of a horse in harness or under the sad
dle, GEO. W. HOOVKB.
LEWISTOWX, Aug. 21. 1866.
Joseph C. Raines—Dear Sir: After having fully tri
ed your Safetv Bridle on my untrained colts, I find
that your invention embraces all that is desirable in
a bridle. Its simple construction, and adaptation to
any common bridle and any rein, cannot nut make
its use universal. The ease with which it can be ad
justed to a soft or hard mouthed horse isnnexcellent
feature, rendering its use as effectual in preventing
running or kicking as any other patent bridle or rein
and as euey on the mouth as the common hit.ami as
it is always reaAv at the critical moment, it cannot l.ut
recommend itself to all who will try or look at it.
Respectfully yours, A. T. llamiuos, M. D.
Luwistovtx, December 8, IStiG.
1 have been driving horses since I know anything
about them, and have drove some very vicious horses
and celts. In driving such with a common bridle. 1
never feel easy nor comfortalie to enjoy the ride. It
is more animving, however, when you l.ave persons
with you nnd'vou --an tell by their countenance tl nt
they don't enjoy the ride from fear of your horse
running a little, or even running away 1 have aljgays
thought there might l>e a bridle or bit so constructed
that you could drive and hold horses with perfect
ease "and safctv. The first of this kind 1 happened
to see was Dr. Hartman's. 1 thought it was very good.
In the meantime it occurred to me that the way the
lines worked on the bridle you could not draw the bit
and let it drop quick enough on your horses. Some
horses and colts when you surge tliein tightly and
cannot slack the hues quickly, will balk and back
very ug'v. I once saw Mr. Christs and Stamen's
patent with the elastic strap, working on about the
same principle its Dr. Hartmans. Mr. Christ then
wave me a bridle to trv on my horse. I had the same
objection to it I had to Dr. Hartman's. My attention
was next called to Mr. Jos. C. Haines' Patent, ol our
town Mv attention was at rested immediately with
the appearance of it. I have been using it for some
two weeks quite successfully. I have drove along the
railroad and other ugly places, feeling quite safe. J
think it embraces alt you can get out ot a bridle. If
the public once get to see this bridle, they can t help
hut understand its simplicity, durability and effective
ness. and taken together, cannot help recommending
itself. Railroads are made and being made through
the country in every direction, crossing our purine
roads four or five times in as many miles sometimes.
These crossings often occur at very ugly place. All
parties are more or less afraid of me. t ng the trams
when thev are traveling for tear their horses w illtake
fright and not he able to hold them. This communi
ty remembers how seriously Dr. Isaac Roth rock, of
•Snvder coniitv. was hurt at the crossing, at theinew
Ta'nnorv. ia.-t May. He found he cou.d not hold his
horse and tl cn got out of Ins buggy, and horse
tore him around bodlv. "■ • KDtVJiK.
Lewistow.l. Ph.. August 21,1
This community is well aware of the fact thatL in
the midst of an extensive l >rac L rrmre I
was almost killed by the running off of his mare.l
drove this mare in single harness b> using tle Safety
Bridle invented by Joseph D. Haines, and I foundl that
si..- was entirely under my control. I bebevo the
Safety Bridle is all that can lie desired for t he set2UJrilty
of life, limb, and vehicle w hen used either upon a
docile or vicious horse. "• '
®r- Anv persons having fractious horses arc invited
to bring 'them to the undersigned, or during his ao
senoe to Mr. Pratt, and they can readily be satisfied
that any horse e*n not only be prevented from kick
ing but from running away. . .
1 have named the bridle "The Eureka,' signifying
"1 have found." JOSEPH C. HAINES-

tures thereof, in the counties of West

and regulating the granting of licenses
to the keepers of such in the said coun
ties.
SECTION 1 Be it enacted by the Senate
and Home of Representatives of the Com
monwceilth of Pennsylvania in General
Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by
the authority of the same, That it shall
not be lawful, from and after the passage
of this act, to grant a license to any per

brewed liquors, or any of them, or any
admixture thereof, in the counties of
Westmoreland, Blair and Indiana, except
it be to the keepers of hotels, inns, or tav
erns: Provided however , That nothing
in this act shall be construed to prevent
the manufacturers of the aforesaid liquors,
from selling the products of their manu
factory by the cask or barrel.

poses to keep a hotel, inn, or tavern, set
ting forth, that they are personally ac
quainted with him, and know him to be
a citizen of the United States, and a man
of good moral character, and temperate in
his habits; that he lias at least lour bed
rooms, containing eight beds, for the ex
clusive use of travelers, and that the ho

persons, comply with the provisions of
this act, it shall be lawful for the court of

to the said court, by remonstrances, affi
davits, or otherwise, that false statements
have been made by the petitioner, or those
making affidavits, in regard to the moral
character of the person applying for li
cense, or his accommodation, for the trav
eling public, then, and in that case, the said
court shall refuse to grant such license,
and shall impose a fine upon each of the
