Business men who are in partnership 'hut whose partnerships have nut been registered, have reason to fear trouble. A detective spent the past week in Hamilton looking up the houses there, It: may be news to some that they are liable to a fine of $100 for doing busi- ness without having their declaration eSpartnership registered in the county registry office, and this applies not only tl the firm, but to each partner therein. For 50 cents a. partnership or dissolu tern can be registered, and in the cases ors the direct business men it is probable they are ignorant of the law in respect teethe penalty. There are no saving anuses in the act, which distinctly says the fine is $100 for those firms whose partnerships are not registered within ale months of their formation least Work.

Huron Lay Workers' Convention. • The Annual Convention of'the Church ' Workers and Sunday School Teachers .of the Anglican Diode of Huron is to be held this year at Wind- sor, Ont., in response to the, invitation of the Rector and Congregation or All Saints' Church in that city,, oh 0dtd er 23rd and 24th inst. The ,roceedings will be particularly interesting from the fact that the eloquent' and pilar Bishop of Huron, the Right Rev. team - ice S. Baldwin, D. D., will be a prorn- inent speaker as well as the President, his name being down for an address having for its subject, "A Missionary Church,"; and also that Mr. Eugene Stock, so long and widely known as editorial secretary of the Church • Mis- sionary Society of England, will be present, and speak on some leading topic. The vicinity of the City of De- troit has also made practicable to se- cure the friendly assistance of some of its most active church workers and residents, which will no doubt tend to enliven the proceedings and contribute to the success of . the convention. The local Secretaries are Rev. T. B. Smith and Mr. J. D. Kent, Windsor, Ont., and entertainment is offered to all confers. This week we are again called upon to chronicle the death of" Miss Sophia Russell, third daughter of Mr. David Russell, who died at the family resi- dence, Exeter North, yesterday (Wed.) at the early age of 17 years, 5 months and 1 day.

The 'remains will be interred in the Exeter cemetery, tomorrow (Friday) at 2 o'clock, Two more new instruments, a tenor trombone and a B -fiat clarionette have been added to the citizen's band pro. perte-. Thio makes five new instru- ments which the "boys" have purchased at a cost of nearly $120 and paid for with money earned by:them during their evenings sports the past summer. The cost of new instruments is independent of new music purchased from time to time. It takes money to keep our band going so that any one having a dollar to spare have the band's thanks in advance. The Harvest Home services and sup- per held under the auspices of the. La dies' Aid of the James Street Methodist church on Sunday and Monday last was attended with a success which sur- passed the most sanguine expectations of all who were connected with it.

Jackson, occupied the pulpit ort Sunday both morning and evening and delivered two eloquent and powerful sermons. On Monday evening, after the splendid supper, interesting, addresses were de, iyered by Revile. Eastman, Fletcher and Holmes. The choir sustained their 'eputation and sang beautifully be- tween the addresses. The ladies in Charge deserve the greatest' of praise or the manner in which they eonduct- ed the affair. The proceeds amounted to about to $123, The first snow of the season in this. section fell on Monday last. A staffa correspondent says: Mr. A. W. Hotham, our popular school teacher, intends studying medicine next year, and has sent in his resignation.

The Seaforth Expositer says:—Mr. William Bawden, of Exeter, intends dividing his property in Harpurhey into park and building lots. On Mon- day next, Mr. Bawden will -be on the property with a surveyor, and will then be prepared to dispose of lots of any size from a quarter of an acre to an acre or larger if desired. His terms we under- stand, are exceedingly east. This is one of the most desirable building sites in this vicinity, and parties desiring park lots or building sizes should call on Mr. Bawden when here and select the site they desire. On the evening of Friday, Sept. 27th a number of the friends ,of Wm. E. Browning gathered at the residence of Mr. Samuel Westaway to pay him a tribute of respect upon his removal to the city of Detroit, where he will study medicine. The affair was entirely a surprise to "Will," and on the night in question he was diligently engaged in his father's drug store when he re. cieved word,that his presence was re- quired at Mr. Westaway's. Not know- ing the nature of the request he hur- rigidly directed his course thither, and if he bad received a shot from a can- non. he could not have been more dumfounded on reaching there. How- ever, he managed to collect himself and prepared for the worst of it, when to his utter surprise he was presented with a well worded address and a purse containing $18. "Will," in a neat and appropriate speech, thanked them for their kindness and their good wishes, and expressed himself as being deeply grieved to leave from among thein, and assured them that he would always think of the kind friends he left in Exeter.
