. In the matter of stylish vehicles, both
public and private, Pittsburgh will com
pare favorably with larg* cities' east or
west. 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. Owning: his large
he is without the weight of rent
upon himand doing a 'Very large business,
a small per centago of profit is all he re
quires and all he asks. A visit to this mam
moth establishment will Interest and grati

picking the pocket of John-Savage, an ac- .
count of which was published in the
GaztrrrE of- yesterday, was committed to
jail for a hearing.
'traveling company .undet the man
agement of one Gus: Mortimer; performed
the "Black Crook" at Farrar Hall last
week in Erie with good effect; The troupe
embraced about a clozenladies and half-a
-dozen then. They Were boarded at Brown's:
Hotel, seven. of the ballet girls being ac
commodatedt-with three be& in - One roam,
and the remainder not quite' so , snugly.
The leading. actor, Mr. Wallack, had induc
ed Mortimer to pay the board and hall
bills up. to Sunday. About tliemiddle of
i the week Mdrtimer and wife had a grand
conjugal quarrel, ending in • the lady's
;packing up all of her goods, and most of,
his,
and going to Buffalo. The - other ladies
felt very sorry for her. On Sunday it was
discovered that Mr. Mortimer . had hintself
quietly disiappeared- with all the , funds,.
some $500,' leaving his company'-with two
weeks' salaries unpaid, and with no' means
of going ahead with the show or even 'get
ting out of town. It was a bad break-up,
I. and Mrs. Mortimer'S elopement was 'a little
1 -matrimonial dodge of the Mcirthnet family.
1 Finally, the-gentleman from whom Mord
!quer had leased the troupe and fixtures,'
came, supplied such funds as were needed,
and the - "Black Crook" has gone not to
-return again.—Eric Gazette.
—The Pithole Recorder says: A. than
named Thomas Donabue, was arrested
Friday afternoon, .on information made
by• Nelson Bishop, cbarging him with as
sault and battery. An examination was
had before Esquire Keenan, which resulted
in Donahue being held in the- sum.of . $5OO
for his appearance at Franklin for trial—
The parties reside at Shambnrg. This is
one of the most aggravated cases of assault
and battery that we ever heard of, the prir,
over Donahue having in the fracas bitten
completely out the lower portion of Bishop's
lower lip. A man that can reduce himself
so low as to commit so brutal an act us this,
deserves to be banished to. the eanibal is

—Mr. Henry Hollands writes as that the
Brewery owned and operated by Messrs.
Taylor and Jones in Blossburg, was de

that It has replaced- in. many families other
.machines that have heretofore borne god
reputations. Again,' the number of ladies,
and,others whocall to see it work and pnr
chase it,ht an important matter in its favor.'
.We are informed that - parties who possess -
other machines, considered among the first
in the market, are offering them in part
pay for the Weed machine.. By paving a.
