singulafly romantic and well nigh tragic case
OF disappointed love and attempted suicide,

cleaned, that young man named George
Newhrk has for some time past been keeping
company with a girl named Catherine Coomb5,
or Seebach, daughteriof q man who keeps a la

and distressed at the desertiop Of her lover,
and she procured at each OF three different
drug stores, one in Bergen, one in Jersey CITY,
and one in the locality Of which conld not be

With these she proceeded to the house of her

after which she deliberately swallowed the

THE PETROLEUM TRADE.-The petroleum
trade. the Philadelphia Ledger says, is reviE-
ing. During the past year or more the trade
In crude petroleum has been, IL not exactly
stagnant, yet greatly diminished from its pre-.
vfous importance. The supply has apparently
exceeded the demand, in spite of the frequent
losses by fire and water at the various great
wells and depots. Whether the present re Vira
is merely temporary and local is matter Of
doubt, but the following statement Of petro-
leum exports from three Of our principal ports
would seem 70 Indicate . decidedly favorable
increase in tho foreign demand for that article.
On Friday last, for instance, at the port OF
Philadelphia, 40 vessels were under charter
and loading with petroleum for foreign ports.
The amount to be taken by these vessels foots
up 176,467 barrels, or 7,05s,6so gallons, allow
ing 40 gallons TO the barrel. The export from
this port since January l, 1857, amounts to
1l,a74. e3s gallons, or 1855 barrels. BY adding
the amount loading at that date we have
1913 gailens, 463, 1872 barrels. Total ex.
port same period OF 1866, 9,ls7,627 gallons, or
22s,69O barrels. The total exports from New
York since January l. 1867, amount to IA ,323..
100 gallons. or 35s,079 barrels. The exports
from Baltimore the present year, to ] une ~.
amount to 9e0,e02 gallons, or 24,745 barrels
The total export from the United States the
present year, exclusive of the amount load
ing on the - vessels in this city, It, S9s. 4oS
