nnIrEp PARTNERSHIPS.

Now that the Legislature is in session,
We press upon the notice Of its members,
the necessity of law similar to that Of
many Of our sister States, authorizing the
creation Of Partnerships Limited. What
does this mean? is a fair question. l,
empowers and authorizes the formation Of
a co-partnership of three or more, wherein
the liability of each partner would be
limited to the amount Of capital subscribed,
while at the same time he might exercise
\ supervision over the partnership business,
which the law of. Special Partnership
forbids, unless under the penalty Of being
treated as general partner. The plan OF
limited partnerships arose in Lyons
tFrance) about twenty-five years ago, and
has since then gradually extended int
Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy,
Russia, the British Empire, and
America. To illustrate its working, will
best explain the character Of the law. II

the provisions Of such an act as we advo-
cate. be can advance him say S1,0oo-as
limited partner, he may advise him, d.
rect his business, give him the benefit Of
his experience in many ways, and not
become liable for the debts Of the concern,
more than to the amount he contributed to
its capital. This may be considered by
some as an undue protection for the capi.
tai Of a rich man, and the bait Of wealthy
capitalists | connection with business,
might lead unwary sellers into loss; but
a little reflection will lead to a fairer
Judgment. The word Limited" must
follow the partnership name wherever ii
appears, on signs, letter, bill heads. or in
act OF any instrument issued by the firm,
which is full notice to any one dealing with
it that the liability Of members only
extends to the amount of the interest and
it is quite easy to ascertain that fact, by
inquiry, a false answer would lead to
trouble In the Pamphlet Laws Of Penn
sylvania for 1874, may be found the Law
of Partnership-Limited, as now existing
in that State, no doubt it is in the State
Library, and accessible to the members of
the Legislature. Mr.. Philip Quigley per-
mits us to say that he is member Of one
or more limited partnerships in Philadel-
phia, and the equity of the principle is
such, that he in common with other wealthy
capitalists feel that the passage Of such a
law would give an impetus to many bran
ches of industry in our Stale, beyond the
most sanguine anticipations of even its ad-
vocates. The proposed legislation is rot
in the interest of any particular persons or
''set" but for the general good. Look into

MEssRs. EDITORS: There is nothing In

and unfiedged poets to commence their
gentle w9rblings with the daWning of
the early spring time; and 1 am aware
that 1t is q time honored custom for these
screechers, at the approach of this de-
hghtful season. to food each editorial
sanctum with from five to eleven thous-
and stirring illusions upon the same
charming subject, but felt mortified be-
yond degree to notice in your last issue
that THE NEWS had, up to this time, been
shamefully neglected for 1877. And that
you should have to call upon Messrs. Rey-
nolds and Murdoch for aid, Is simply an
outrage, and come to the rescue. Those
gentlemen would, doubtless, both respond
promptly, but then they are brother prin-
tsrs, and have home duties to perform,
audit looks too much like q man asking
the members Of his own family to assist
hum in burrying his dead. So, without
further ado, 1, an old clodhopper, will
present my humble offering, hoping that
the young warblers will be aroused from
their unwOnted lethargy, and that the

You will observe that in the following

exception OF few digressions, for the
sake of rhythm and euphony, which am

will READILY appreciate.

being in any dangerous state OF health,
was taken last Saturday night, about
10 O'Clock, with What appeared to be q
Mt Of SufocstiOn, and though her hus-
band aEd the servant girl fastened to her
aid, and called in neighbors, she became
insensibls In few minutes, and tn half
an hour died, apparently choked to
death by some internal action which the
physicians cannot satisfactorily account
for. Mrs. HickoX was an amIable lady,
. devoted wife and mother, and leaves q
child. bright boy about three years old,
TO be the Borrowing fathers care and SOL
ace. The funeral necessarily took place
on Sunday afternoon, and the services
were conducted by Rev. Mr.. W alter. We
tender Mr.. Hickox our sincere sympathy
