It is a matter of pride that we have here large, opmpleter- and first-class rrumu-' factories, where light , vehicles of all vari eties are turned out, equal to any built elsewhere. One of the largest and best of these establishments, and oue equal in -point of workmanship to any in the coun try, is the carriage bazaar of Mr. John S. Shafer, located on Diamond alley, near Liberty street. Mr. Shafer not only manu- factures all Classes of vehicles, but keeps on hand the very finest and most elegant work of Eastern establishments. Among the most elegant turn-outs of the Eastern manufactories is the Clarence coach; one of which is now to be seen among Mr. Slue fer's stock in his exhibition rooms. 'Cis -w,Orth theitiine. of;any one to call and see this 'superb affair, for a description would give but a faint idea of its elegance: The "Clarence" is in every respect the finest coach made, no part of it but is of the best material and finished with the greatest care and nicety. The body. is, painted of, two colors, ickart black and part a sort of maroon. The wheels are painted darker than ma roon with stripes, and the body sits upon the "C" spring. Patent axles of the very best are used, and the whole,'make up is the neatest and most durable. The front of the body is oval in form and, is all French glass; the frames containing it, two in number, running in grooves, to be pushed aside when required. Inside the vehicle is mag nificent, all the coverings and trimmings being of brown satins. It contains also mir rors, and .a trumpet by which to communi cate with the driver. Velvet lugs are used, and the doors - have ivory handles, Card -steps are upon each side, which open and close with the doors. ' Altogether the "Clar ence" is the prettiest and most luxurious coach we have ever seen. Among the vehicles also on exhibition are two close-quartered coaches of Mr. Sba fer's own s -manufacture. They are very neat 'arid, elegant, and cettainly_equal in every respect to Ea.stern make, and proba bly even more desirable. Mr. Shafer has on hand also a set of gold mounted harness, to match the Clarence coach, which are cer tainly the finest and most' elegant ever brought to this city. He keeps on hand, as an additional,department of his business,,- a full assortment of harnem,`blankets, 7 rpgs and horse equipments generally, which it will be found he is prepared to sell lower than elsewhere. We can Confidently assure-any and every one who wants a coach, carriage, buggy or Other. bght, vehicle, harness, &e., &c., that Mr. Shafer can-accommodate them both as to price and quality town advantage over other , establishments.
