pitchers, goblets knives, forks, spoons, and
hundred other articles particularly chaste in
design-some of them, being associated with
French and Bohemian ware, presenting the

THE PICTURE AND PICTURE FRAME DEPART
MENT.
In this branch of the business Mr.. Cross
would be difficult to beat. On every hand
around the store is a new collection Of very
fine subjects in oil, water color and chrome
prints, noticeable among which We may men,
tion views of continental and American seem
cry in great variety, capital humorous sub
ject Of PLUCK No. and No. O." pair of

There are also quite a number of excellent
proof sheet engravings of eminent professors
and illustrations Of biblical history and para
BILE teachings, SC. Mr.. C.keeps heavy stock
of mouldings, mounts and frames, and in this
respect does quite jOobing business, besides
executing retail work in the store equally as
cheap as any house in the State.
As MUSIC AND MUSICAL INSTRUMENT STORE
this business has long taken the lead for vari-
ETY. and popular prices. Mr. c. keebs the hu-
est make Of pianos from $500 to $500 and 7
IA octayesI IN massive cases, and beautifully
finished to adorn the household. In organs
he has also quite variety of leading styles
varying IN price from 500 to $500. He war
rants every instrument, sells on the very easi-
est and best terms to meet the circumstances
of customers, and the fact Of his past eztens-
i've business in this line in Fremont is ample
to secure perfect satisfaction to purchasers.
He also keeps a full line Of small instruments,
including accordeons, violins; flutes, piccalOs,
harmonious, &c, even to jew's-harp and
tuning fork. The services OF a professional
tuner is periodically at his service. =
Mr. Gross is ever at his post-most eourse-
GUS to his patrons, and the conduct of his bus
mess is ably seconded by his brother, Mr.. R.
A. Cross, who IS thoroughly experienced in
watch making and conducts all repairs per-
sonally. In conclusion we can only say to
our readers that they need not go out of our
city for anything in the above lines, as no
wholesale or retail house elsewhere will do
them equal justice, and the result would only
inevitably disclose to them, most unsatisfactO-
rily, how possible it was to "go farther and
fare worse"
