Rosiness Partnerships.
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.
A Brucefield correspondent says:—
"Quite a number from town accom•
palsied our butchers to the slaughter
hAuse, Monday evening last, to• see
them attempt to reduce their record.
Exerythinh was got in readiness, and
at el minutes past 7 the word "go"
was. given, and at 7,22 the beef was
dressed, the work being accomplished
iueleven minutes. Messrs. A. T. Scott
and Robert Austin acted as time keep,
err. We can now confidently loolt for-
ward to the time, in the near future,
when they will be able to turn out a
line beast into sausage in 5 or ten min-
trans, We would seggest that they de•
vote some time to the contriving` of a
machine, which, by reversing, if the
satlsaages are not ,satisf.i,etory, they may
*eta tett the beast once more alive,"

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. She has been a victim of
that dreaded disease, consumption for
some time, and its deadly ravages soon
bore her life away. The bereaved fain
ily have the sympathy of all in their
affliction.' 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

passed the most sanguine expectations
of all who were connected with it. Fre-
quent showers of rain threatened to
destroy the prospects, but it did not
prevent a large number from being
present. The pastor, Rev, Geo. 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,

dition to the old Goderich foundry,

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.
