Balliuiore and tbo Oil Trade.
There was nn informal meeting of our
oil dealers at' the rooms of tho Petroleum
Association; . this morning for the purpose
of having , a consultation with John W.
Garrett, Esq., President of t lie lialiimrre
nnd Ohio Railroad, with releronce to the
shipment of oil to Baltimore via the Pitts
burgh rind Gonnellsville Railroad. There
wus quite a hu'u attendance of oil dealers.
Mr. Garrett was unable to be present, but
ho was represented by Mr. G. R. Blar.churd.
the General Freight agent of the Baltimore
and Ohio road.- Tbe meeting was informal
and conversational in Its character, and a
cbaiiie of opinions was had. Mr. Blnnch
ard stated that the CciineliYvilip railroad
would be completed within eitht month,
and referred to the advantage that the com
pletion of the road would g'vo to that city.
Baltimore would then he thirty miles nearer
by railroad and tide water to the oil region
than New York or Philadelphia, and would
consequently be the natural point for ex
port. He said that every ponsible facililv
would be eiven tn the trade, when th road
was finished, for the shipment of oil via
B tlriniore. Mr, If. also save some interest
ing information in record to Ihe wharfaire
facilities and tonuoge of Brllimore, uhich
was highly satisfactory t.i tho trade.
The interview was a very pleasant one
throughout, and from the manner in which
the dealers expressed themselves, the indications-are
that Baltimore, is the 'entiling
city" for theexpo't liado la oil. Pittsburgh

Mr. John Hart, who is creating such a
great furoro iu Kelly & Leon's Minstrels by
hia perfect delineation of negro character,
was once a millionaire. ' When the oil fever
broke out iu Pennsyvania. Mr. Halt own
ed a hundred acres of wild land near Tidi
oute, Pa., worth about sixteen cents an
acre.. IIu was then running a canal boat
on the Delaware and Hudson canal. In the
Fall of Ibfil, several immense oil-wells
were Struck on Mr. -.Hart's land. Stock
companies wore formed in which he was a
Prominent shareholder, and at one time be
was offered live bundled thousand dollars
for Ms interest. This was refused. He
left tho canal, built a most niagnillcent pri
