Commerce of Philadelphia.
In petroleum, within the last six years
a gigantic trade has sprung up. During
the present year, up to the 22d instant,
the foreign export of this artiele,frorn the
United States exceeded forty two millions.
Last year, to the same period,it was only
15,503,956 gallons or a little over one
third of this year's export. To show the
importance of this trade to Philadelphia,
we may state that up to the Ist of the
present month, sixteen ships, seventy-six
barks, . thirty-three brigs, and three
schooners, laden entirely with this staple
of Pennsylvania,have cleared fur foreign
countries from this port, making a total
of one hundred and thirty-two yess9ls in
eight Months. Add to this the vessels
clearod , ladeu with coal, luMber and iron
manufactures, nll the products of our
State, audit will . be perceived that it
only requires earnest and combined action
to tegain our commerce. Even in Eng
land they acknowledge that at a future
period Pennsylvania, for her inexhausti
ble supplies of iron ore,coal and limestone,
is to be the great centre of the coal and
iron trade-of the world. A vessel is now
loading for South America, having on
board four locomotive engines and a
mammoth turn-table.—Le(7,9er.
_TIIE"CROPS IN EULtOPE,-It is stated
that hay in all the European countries
is light in quantity but good in quality.
Fruits' of most kinds have lulled. In
France barley and oats have proved aver
age crops. Wheat is froM a quarter to
a third under an average, and the quality
bad, both as to weight and color. Eng
land which until lately had counted on a
good average year, is also beginning to
complain,-as the quality leaves much to
1 )e-desired. Northern Germany appears
to bedivided. The southern provinces
had an excellent wheat harvest, as well
as Spain. 'ltaly does nut seem to be
much. more fortunate than France. The
locitslS have ravaged Algeria. The vine
has suffered much this year, especially in
the South; the dryness first,then the.odi
um, and finally the rains,have singularly
endangered the results or the approaching
vjptage. The probab3e quantity is not
vet known, but the quality will be medi
ocre.

Read his advertisement
Boys using Tobacco
A strong and sensible writer says a good
sharp thing, and a true one, too, for boys
who use tobacco. It has utterly ruined
thousands of boys, It tends to soften
ing and weakening of the bones, and it
greatly injures the, brain, the spinal
marrow and the whole nervous fluid,
A boy who smokes early and frequently
or in any way uses very large quantities
of tobacco, is never known to make a
man of much energy, and generally
hicks muscular and physical as well as
mental power. We would particularly
warn boys who want to be anything in
the world to shun tobacco as a most
baneful poison. It injures the teeth.
It produces an unhealthy state of the
throat and lungs, hurts the stomach and
blasts the brain and nerves.
DISTRIBUTIONS.—We would call atten
tion to the opinion of one of the leading
papers of Canada on this subject :
Most of our readers have no doubt
read some of the numerous advertisements
of Gift Enterprises, Gift Concerts, &c.,
;rich appear from time to time in the
public prints, offering most tempting
bargains to those who will patronize
them. In most cases these arc genuine
humbugs. But there are a few respecta
able firms who do business in this
manner, a❑d they do it as a means of
increasing their wholesale business, and
to make money. From such fi-ms, it is
true, handsome and valuable articles are
procured for a very small sum, and what
is more important,no one is ever cheated.
Every person gets good value for his
dollar; because, as we have stated, it is
intended to act as an advertisement to
increase their ordinary business.
We have seen numbers of prizes sent out
in this way by Sherman, Watson &
Company of Nassau Street, N. Y., and
there is uo doubt that some of the arti
cles arc worth eight or ten times the
money paid'tor them, while we have
not seen or heard of' a single article which
was not fully worth the dollar which it
But this is only one of the excep
tions of' this rule, for as a general thing
the parties engaged in this business are
nothing but clever swindlers.— S caurday
