Wagner, of Amsterdam, New York, a representative of the Shuler Improved Patent Buggy Spring, was in town last week, and exhibited that spring at the encampment and ex- hibition. Among many others who had the pleasure cf taking a ride in a buggy equipped with Shuler springs wash the writer. This spring is ate tached to the side sills of the body same as the body loops, and rides easy over any rough road. The spring acts as an equalizer, destroying all vibra- tion, and keeps the body level, this being the special usefulnéss of the center bearing which allows the spring to turn with the motion of the body. This bearing is lined with an indestructable vulcanized fibre bush- fng which wakes the spring nearly noiseless, It is simple to attach and may be applied to any gear. Itis a good, neat, novel invention and is sure M. ©. Gephart's Exhibit, The exhibit of pianos by M, C. Gep- hart, of Bellefonte, attracted many people to what is familiarly known as the Philadelphia house on the exhibi- tion grounds of the Patrons of Hus- bandry, because of the almost continu- ous performance on the piano by one of Mr. Gephart’s attendants, Princi- pally among these were H. R. Keister, of Millheim, who has been with Mr, Gephart for a number of years, and F, D. Weaver, of Bellefonte, who is quite a young man and is the organist in the Presbyterian church in Bellefonte, Mr. Gephart has a well established reputation in Penns Valley as a dealer in musical instruments, This has been gained largely by him because of his handling only first-class instru ments. A dealer may be ever so hon- est, and yet not have the most desira- ble goods for sale, simply because of his lack of knowledge of the business in which he is engaged. Itis not so with Mr. Gephart. He has a thorough knowledge of musical instruments, he is acquainted with the merits and de- merits of the different makes of instru- ments, and consequently has selected for his trade a type of musical instru- ment nearest to perfection. Besides this, Mr. Gephart's methods of deal- ing are such that bear inspection. EC.

Close-fitting waists with sloping shoulders and straight fronts “are to do away with the loose pouch fronts which set off the kangaroo walk and square Gibson shoulders of the military girl.” —————— LOCALS A —— John D.
