Picture Frames.

For several years past the tendency of the
age has been toward pictures. Not only are
large and elegant engravings, representing
broad acres with waving corn, tall mountains
capped with clouds, and the broad ocean
lashed iato fury by the gale, and swallowing
up fleets Of armed vessels, in demand. Init
miniature pictures or full length portraits of
each member OF the family and OF nearly all
the relatives are found in almost every house.
To supply this demand large numbers of en-
gravers, painters and photographers are con-
siantly employed, which calls into use large
number Of frames Of all sizes, forms andstyles
OF huish. Messrs. Cleveland & Osgood, at
49, Middle street, Evans Building,l are pre-
pared to furnish all the different styles and
sizes, from the smallest locket miniature size

the new and elegant block called the evans
Building" including the rooms overit, where
they have excellent facilities for making and
regilding picture frames. The lower floor is

nishing and gliding frames. This department

terprising young men, giving to their business

quired OF him If the broker was his brother.

The Shenandoah Oamuaign,


The army correspondent of the New York
Herald writes that after the rout OF Early at
Winchester his force retreated up the valley
in the utmost CONSERVATION. Citizens along
the road say that his command was complete
ly demoralized, and as they fled toward Stras-
burg every man seemed to be taking care of
himself. Brigades, regiments and companies
were broken up, and all was in confusion In
the rebel ranks, and their fight up the Stras-
burg pike resembled a crowd rushing to fire
far more than the retreat of an army. OF Fish
er's Hill where the last battle was fought, we
have the following description:
Fisher Hill is one of the rebel strongholds
In the valley. 1t is position of great natu-
raj strength, and at various times it has been
occupied by the rebels, who have thrown up
some heavy earthworks and rife pits, repair
ing and strengthening old works and digging
new ones, until Fishers Hill had become as
strong as fortress. The hill is situated about
TWO miles southwest of Strasburg on the Val
ley pike, and its base is washed by small
stream known as Tumbling Run. Stonewall
jackson occupied the position in June, 1852,
when retreatlng before Fremont, and held him
IN check until he could get his prisoners and
wagon train out oil. the way. The hill is al
most inaccessible on the north side, and it
rises above Tumbling Run like the walls of
precipice. A regiment of determined men
might station themselves upon the high bluff
where the bridge spans the run, and with rocks
and stones almost hold an army at bay"
