The Philadelphia and Perkiomen Turnpike,
from Diamond street to Germantown depot, is
to be purchased by the city of Philadelphia and
dedicated to public uses. By the terms of in
corporation of the turnpike company, the State
had the right to recover the road after the year
having come into the possession of the city of
Philadelphia in the year 1865, the work of
assessing the assets of the company is to be done
at once. The jury appointed under the law to
inquire into the Value of the property of the
turnpike company met yesterday in German
Hiram Miller, Joseph B. Barry, VIM. F. Smith,
Robert w. Foust, - Fletcher, Il. W. Stuart,
Samuel Fitzpatrick, and Archibald McIhtyre.
They travelled over the route in company with
President Biddle and Treasurer Perot, of the
turnpike company, and j. B. Townsend and
Chas. E. Lex, attorney for the company. On the
part of the city Assistant Solicitor Messick, in
The stock of the company if at par would be
worth $3.50, 600, and part of the duty of the
jury will be to approximate towards the real
value of the stock.
The company receives $25OO per annum from
the railway company for the use of portion of
the road, and the railway company is of course
bound to keep the road between its tracks in
good condition. When the street through
Nicetown was torn up in order to lay the water
main, it was never properly repaired This
neglect is directly traceable to the turnpike
company, as 1t is the party under which the
| railway company is a tenant, and If the latter
| neglects to Keep the road in repair, the former
| should attend to the matter, and charge the
| costs to the tenant. 1t will be great relief to
| Germantown when the turnpike becomes the
property of the city, and is made an open
highway.

THE TRAFFIC IN EGGs.-During the past few
weeks the trade in eggs has assumed large pro-
portions, the decline in prices having stimu
lated the demand. fortnight ago they COM
manded 30 cents per dozen, wholesale, but now
bring but 16 cents. The shipments to this city
by railroad during the past week reached the
enormous aggregate of 2509 barrels, and for the
past month 1858 barrels, AS each barrel con-
tains about seventy dozen eggs, the whole
amount received by this channel alone is 900, 060
dozen, or 6, S,2S0, 720 eggs for the month. This is
of course, exclusive of the arrivals by wagons
and innumerable other means of conveyance
The cause of the recent decline in prices is un-
doubtedly due to the fact that the farmers in
the interior and the Western States have
boarded them during the last fall IN the hope of
obtaining large prices during the winter months.
THE FIRES IN FEBRUARY.-Captain McCusker,
of the Insurance Patrol, has submitted his state
ment of the fires which occurred during the

the fires occurred were occupied as follows
20 dwellings, 3 cotton and woollen mills, dry
goods stores, variety stores, 2 churches, 2
lamp stores, public halls, and 2 woollen mills,
and the balance are distributed between liquor
stores, carpet manufactures, etc.
The total loss from fire was about $35, 900, on
which there was triple insurance. The largest
fire was that of Shaw's woollen mill, on Duys

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The year is now drawing to a close, and we Are not aware that our School Trustees and the County Superintendent have, in any re- spcct, discharged the duties required of themi hut we do know that in some respects these 1utie. were neglected, and have not, up to the present time, been performed. But little time is now left them to discharge sew eral obligations which the school act sets forth AS preliminary to the division of the School Fund.
 Now, AS the school act has been in force since the date of it's approval, viz the 18th day of February, ls7l, we find that duty which should have been discharged before the lst day of June last has been neglected Section 23 provides, That
 It shall be the duty of the Trustees in each district to take, or cause to be taken, by s school martial to be appointed by them Tn the month of May of each year, an emu meration of all the children between the ages of six and twenty-one years within such district, and return certified copy thereof, under oath, to the County Superintendent of Public Schools before the first day of June each year.
 If the Trustees failed to submit their re- port to the County Superintendent at the proper time, it only remains for them to do so now, and without further delay, that the latter may be enabled to forward bis report to the Superintendent of Public instruction, as required by section IS. The division of the School Fund must be made on the 31st of December; and the apportionment to each county in this, the first, year, being in pro portion to the number of children in the county between the ages of six and twenty one years, the necessity of immediately furn- i.hing this information to the Territorial Superintendent of Public Instruction. will be very readily perceived.
 Let this matter, therefore, be attended to. We do not purpose to dictate their duty to these gentlemen who, doubtless understand i, much better than do we, but may not have given the matter due attention AS to the time ae which certain duties should have been performed. It would seem to us, how ever, that the first steps to be taken at pres ent i. for the Trustees to furnish data which will enable the County Superintendent tC make his report at the time specified in sec. ton IT.
 The success of our school system demands the utmost attention on the part of it's off cers; and it is only by immediate action tha we can hope to have school established here. by the lst of January, 1872 as reouirec by the School Act, section B.
