STEWARDS ESTATE. Stewart provided in
bis will that all bis business and the real estate
directly connected with it sheuld be Inherited
by Judge Hilton, who had been his confidential
adviser fr several years. All his other real
estate BIO bcqueathed to his wlfc. The actua'
value Of the business and OF the real property
onnccted with it was not publicly known then
nCr has it been made known since. The whole
was estimated as thirty millions, and am H.
clined to think that figure was not much out OF
the way. 1t included the wholesale house al
Chambers street, the retail house at Tenth
street and some twenty mills engaged 10 manu-
featuring for the firm. All the hotel property
was outside Of the business aud. together With
number of houses in different parts Of the
CITY, went to Mrs. Stewart. Those who speak
Of decline say that the business part OF tho es
tatc is worth s5,OO0,000 less to day thao at
Stewa,t's death, and some ct them predict
that 6Vo years more will produce bank.
ruptcy Such predictions. however. are
sometimes mtro folly and this may be one
| of that sort. The estimated value Of the entire
real estate 10 this city 10 1875 was SIC, 900.
| This Included the two stores. which were sup
posed to be worth $3.000.000. The uptown
store is built on leased ground, and the lee Is
therefore not so valuable as might be supposed.
| Deduoling the value of the stores, which became
the property of HiltoD, the real estate be
oueathed to Mrs. Stewart was worth $1,000
200 year before her husbands death. As
much of this property is situated 10 parts Of
the city which are steadily going backward, such
as Blocker street, Amity street, Ninth street,
Prince street, and 80 on its value has under:
gone serious decline since that time. Good
Judges say that at least s.. 100000 must be
taken off for depreciation. They speak in the
same way of the property at Hampstead and
with probably as much reason. There is no
doubt that the whole estate has shrunk several
millions since Stewards death, but then it Is
not by any means certain that the same thing
would rot have happened if MIR. Stewart were
still alive. Some very shrewd business meu
have become bankrupts in the past three years

Correspondence of the Register.
TRIADELPHlA, February o.
Having Just completed course of vis.
ting among the public schools OF Ohio
county, | append the following items
concerning them. II there Is anything
contained in them which you think vii!
be OF interest tc the public, you are at
liberty 10 use 1t:
The enumeration of youth, as taken
last June, of those entitled to attend the
public schools, is 2,l23. Total number
enrolled in the schools for the month of
January, 1878, 1,l9l, or about So per
cent. Average daily attendance, SS5, or
about "a per cent. OF the enrolment and
about IL per cent. Of the enumeration.
There are in all thirty-two public
schools in the county three OF which,
viz, TrIadelphis, Elm Grove and Full
ton, esch EN-. 10y two teachers, making q
total of thirty five teachers in the pub
lie schools of the county. In these cal
culations Is included cOlored school At
West Liberty, numbering twenty-five
pupils. Besides these, there is private
school 1T Gastons Mill, Liberty district,
and the branch Normal school at West
Liberty. With these, the aggregate
average of those in daily attendance will
probably -esch about torty.fve per cent.
of the enumeration.
AS general rule, the teachers appear
to be lsboring honestly and faithfully IN
the discharge OF their GUY, but, OF
course, with varying degrees of success,
AMI in few cases, l sm sorry to say, not
to the full satisfaction Of parents.
The schools of Ohio county, | am salts
fed, will, however, compare favor =
bly, with the country schools OF her sister
States.
Ohio county may well be proud OF her
school houses, all of which are
neat and comfortable. The seating in
some of them, however, is not sll that
could be desired.
The largest school in the county is at
Trisdelphla. 1t has an enroi.ment OF
ll2, and a daily average OF about 30.
The wages Of 3 teacher hol1ing No. l
certificate is from $40 10 $50 per month,
the former price being paid IN the dis
,rict of Trisdelphis. There Is one ex-
ception, the principal at Fulton receives
$50 per month. Very respectfully,
j. &. maxwell,
