Nacal Stores For the information of those of
our readers who may be interested in the matter,
we will state that the late act Of the Legislature re-
guating the weight and size Of the barrel Of Tur-
pentine, is as follows: Each barrel Of Scf Tur-
pentine is to weigh $50 lbs gross, and each barrel
of Scrape Turprntine 240 lbs. gross. The Soft TO
have twelve, and the Scrnpe ten, good hoops around
each barrel. The slaves to be thirty inches
long, of the usual thickness. The law will 60
into operation on the first day Of June next. We
understand that the law has been framed with a
view of bringing, as nearly possible, the weight
of the barrel to correspond with the weight requr-
ed in New York, and also to make it general law
throughout this State. We think upon the whole
it will work WELL once it gets into operation, for
every maker Of Turpentine will know at once
what he is to receive for his labor, whether his
Turpentine be hard or soft. If the barrel should
exceed the weight above stated, of course he will
get paw for all that is over. We have been in.
formed that 24O lbs of scrape is about equal to


half barrel of 2S0 lbs. of dip, and this article


generally sells for half as much the soft article


It was thought rig hit that it should be made to


respond in value; and in addition to this, there is
another material advantage 10 the maker: the
same sized b,rrel that will hold $50 lbs of dir
will conveniently hold 240 lbs. of scrape.
