DEVOTED TO BEE RAISING.

II. H. Knapp, one of the thrifty farm CTS of this place, is extensively engaged in bee culture. He has IS swarms at present and takes much pleasure in watching the large amount of business they do in season. MT Knapp strives to keep the Italian bees, but says it is almost impossible to keep them clear as they cross with the black bee. He uses the Simplicity" hive, and being an in- genious man has arranged many little contrivances of his own to be used about the hives. He raises for his bees, the Alsike clover and was the first man to in troduce it into the town. He thinks 50 pounds about fair average for seasons work for one swarm of bees. Mir Knapp finds no difficulty in keeping his bees during the swarming period as he use the Alley queen trap. Every year he exhib- it's at the Danbury fair and last year took first prize. He and his grandson togeth- CT won BPS ill prizes on their bees last year at the fair.

DEATH OF R. D. HAWLEY.

k. D. Hawley, the Hartford seedsman, whose name is familiar to every far mer in New England and New York state, died in Hartford week before last. He was native of Hawleyville. He was born in the house where Amos Hawley now lives, near the four corners, not far from thesss Brick school house. He was the son of the late Tyrus Hawley. A brother, Marshall Hawley, lives in Bethel. Another brother, Burr Hawley, and sister, Miss Carrie Hawley, reside in Hartford. MT Hawley had been in failing health for a long time, and who'll ly unable to attend to business for some months, his disease being an affection of the liver, complicated perhaps with. some other disorders. From this he seemed to rally at times with a fair prospect of re- covery, but those hopes proved delusive.
 He went to Hartford and 37 years ago, engaging in the hardware business with J. W. Royce, whose daughter he married and to whose business he succeeded in 1860, since which time he has been active ly identified with the mercantile interests of the city, developing business capacity of the first order and building up very large, widely extended and profitable trade, even in these days of low prices and sharp competition. Two or three years ago Messrs 5. F. Caldwell and w. F. Jones, who had been long with him, became partners in the firm and have of late carried it's entire burden.
 As man, MT HaWley, when in the l fullness of health, was an unusually gen. ial companion, the life of any group of whic h he was part, an admirable story teller, with happy capacity of throw l ing aside the cares of business when business hours were over, returning to his work, fresh, keener, and more alert for the change.
 He had a hobby, and unusual one for Ia man of his stamp. It was the violin, and he owned certainly one of the choic. est collections in the country, including I some instruments of the most famous manufacture of past centuries, whose val
 ue ran up into the thousands. His keen est enjoyment was to meet man fully competent to appreciate these treasures
 and such all one held the key to his mosl
 intimate friendship.

 He fired two shots at his head. Both took effect. But the lion seemed better than ever and wilder. At this point the chief took hand. He fired one shot at his heart with no effect. The next one pene trated the animals eye and he rolled over dead. Chief Rylands has good record in the city in regard to handling crim- inals, but in regard to wild animals he must certainly take back seat. Mon day, Superintendent Middlebrook had Dr Mcclellan on hand again, and by the use of poison and repeating rifle two more vicious and ugly dogs were put to death.
 Dr Mcclellan on Monday received tel egram from friend of his connected with the state militia inviting him to take part in their spring target practice. He considered it good joke.

At the Winter Quarters in this city were left number of valuable dogs, several lions, tigers an oryx and few hay animals. One of the pair of lions was paralyzed, the oryx was sick, his ailment being consumption. Last Friday, the superintendent of the quarters, A. s. Middlebrook, received telegram from the show to ship the lion, tiger and wolf to the menagerie at Gen. tral park, the remaining ones to dispose of at once. After a hard mornings work

 were gotten into shipping boxes by the use of heavy iron bars and taken to the Adams express company's office. While awaiting the arrival of the train they were viewed by thousands. The ex- press office was crowded with people all anxious to get a free sight. One man went near the lions cage; in an instant he threw out his paw catching the mans coat and tore out large piece. He threatens to sue the company for dam ages. Superintendent Middlebrook, in order to dispose of the others quickly, secured the show company's veterinary surgeon, Dr Mcclellan, to do the job. He provided himself with bottle o1 prussic acid, and then went to borrow a revolver of Chief Rylands, but the chief decided he ought to have hand in it to. l So the doctor and chief started for the quarters, arriving about l o'clock.
