The Insane Convicts.

The commission of experts consisting of Drs c. M. Carlton of Norwich and M. M. Johnsons and James Campbell of Hartford, appointed by Gov. Andrews to examine the insane convicts at Wethersfeld, reported that Thomas Beach, Henry Freeman and Hannah Hall are insane, and on Friday they were sent to the insane hospital at Middletown.

F. & l.. Lyons' New Place of Business. Messrs. F. & Lyons opened their fine dou- ble store in the new Glebe building to the public yesterday. They were given ample evidence of their popularity with shoppers, and with their beautiful premises and splen- did stock, larger and more varied and exten- sive than ever before, they have started with finer business prospect opening before them than even when in their old quarters in the Insurance building. Their landlords, Messrs Cowell & Sanford, who have taken an interest and pride to make this one of the first-class stores in the city, had the partition wall between the two stores removed andiron pillars and girders substituted, giving fine effect to the premises, and also had the entire ceilings and side walls very tastefully fires coed in light shades of color. The result speaks finely for their public spirit and taste. ,Messrs. F. & L. Lyons have very handsome sign in gilt and black over their entire front, and having a lion couchant at either end. Their fine stock and premises will be viewed by many more in the community to-day.

The Pickle Thermometer.
Another Potent Touch of DTidsumm

Another Potent Touch of DEIdsummer
 The weather struck in warm.again yester- day, the thermometer rising to 8S . in the shade, and in some shady places to 9Oo This month is getting record for sudden and striking changes. From excessively hot weather for the time of year, early in last week, the temperature dropped so low Friday night as to damage plants left out doors, and frost came. Overcoats were resumed Sat urday, and the clothiers' anticipations of a sharp and brisk demand for summer suits were nipped in the bud The reports of damage to the sweet potato vines and straw berry blossoms, and of the formation of thin ice in places in the northern part of the State, are well known. Now again, the weather yesterday whipped around, and per spring people consulted the thermometers, and started for the straw hat emporiums
 while the soda fountains fizzed and fizzed, and the proprietors of ice cream establish ments suddenly found their business had re- ceived startling impetus. The noble old elms of the city commenced to leave forth in
 earnest during the hot spell of last week, and, having started in this commendable work continued it despite the frosty air which fol
 lowed Yesterday the elms were leaved out
 sufficiently to provide quite grateful shade,
 which was welcome enough in the middle of
 the day, especially to those called to travel
 the burning sidewalks. The watering carts have had a business boom, in the long-continued absence of rain, and the streets are so dusty that a passing roadster or horse car, with
 the wind aiding, creates little stifing, blinding simeon, attacking the latest styles | with seeming unpardonable energy and per | sistency. The seats are placed on the public squares, and children and nurses in foeks l were enjoying the freedom of the city on the | verdant velvety carpet of Eye ancient pub
 lick square, yesterday afternoon, while the
 bicycle occasionally rolled by, its multitudi-
 nous burnished light steel spokes glistenine in the bright rays of the sun, while the tin kle of it's bell was occasionally heard, giving warning to some absorbed professor or medi- | tative damsel of its approach or immediate | proximity.

An Agricultural Greed.

1. Do not cultivate poor land.
1t is a feeble mother which can
give no sustenance.
?. If your land is poor, you
must limit the area of cultivation
to your ability to ,manure-let
it be ever so little-and you
will be the gamer by it.
5. Exert yourself to produce
manure on the farm. Such ma
nure IS the flour which makes
the loaf, and a commercial fer
tilizer is only a leaven to it.
Homemade manures cost some
labor and but little money,
whilst commercial fertilizers
will bring you in debt, and are
a kind of food which mother
earth cannot entirely rely and
fatten upon. We are not their
enemy, but active friend, when
judiciously used, and can be had
without too great a strain on
the farmers credit.
4. Bring to the aid of your
manure pile green fallow crops,
and try to clothe the bosom of
mother earth with the green
vendure of grass, from which
live stock can be fed.
5. Keep as much stock as
can be fed we'll; for this adds
to the manure pile and their in
crease, and a few fat carcasses
afford a big interest on the in
vestment.
6. Diversity crops as much as
possible, and do not rely on one
staple. This will make your
manure and labor pay a profit
in some places when they fail
in others.
7. Manure manure manure!
and, as before suggested, rely
on the farm principally to pro-
duce it. 1t will put money in
your pocket"
s. mo grass, no stock no
stock, no manure. No manure,
no permanent improvement of
the land" Richmond Planter
and Farmer.
