Annual Petroleum Product.

A very full and interesting annual re.
view of the petroleum trade is given in
the Shipping and Commercial list and
Ne,o York Price Current. From it We
learn that no less than 2S,O00,O0O Gal
Ions we're exported during the year 1868
This export was as follows : From
New York, 1851 ,60l gallons; Boston,
2,049, ,43l Philadelphia, 5,3o5,738 ;
Baltimore ol5,s66 Portland, 342,O ,O82.
In 1861, the total export was only l..
ll2, ,47G gallons in 1862, 1887 ,701
gallons. This trade has sprung into
existence with such rapidity and at.
taincd to such dim nsons, that it ap-
pears almost like the work of some
great wizard. A few years since, some
persons, while boring for water in an
obscure Pennsylvania valley, were sur.
prised to find their labors eliminating
in an oil instead Of q water-spout,-
The event caused great excitement
other wells we're soon sunk, with like
results, until finally the rocky chambers
of that valley have become the natural
laboratory which supplies all the rural
mansions and cottages in America and
Europe with beautiful artificial light to
cheer the long winter evening hours.
Next to gas, refined petroleum gives
the most clear light, while it is also the
cheapest ever used by man we there.
forc hope, for the good of our fellow
men, that theMpply of it will long con
tinue to be copious.
Since petroleum was frst intr oduccd
great improvements have been made in
refining it. Formerly it produced an
offensive odor while being burned, and
it was usually of dark color. That
which is now generally used, is freed
from disagreeable smell, and is as clear
and colorless as water. The present
price of the crude is 81 cents per gal
Ion refined 53 cents. The quantity
exported in 1868 amounted to 252 ,OOC
tons weight, and engaged no less thar
252 ships of l 600 tons burden each, tt
cnrry it. 1t has become one of tht
m ost important Of our national products
The value of 98,OOO,OOO gallons of tn,
refined article is no less than $14, ,94O,,
900, but not over one half ofthe quantity
forwarded was refined; still, with this
allowance, our petroleum has brought
the country $ll,9OO,OOO during the
past year-a snug little sum for such {
young trade. While in conversation
few days since, with gentleman en-
gagged in this business, he stated the
export for the next year would, in al
likelihood, greatly exceed that of tn,
past twelve months, and would probably
reach forty millions.

To know any trade or business with
out apprenticeship or experience.
To marry without regard to fortune,
state of health, position, or opinion Of
