Painting a Tin Rcoi.

\ Hallowell gentleman decided. not
long since. that the tin roof which
covers a portion of his house needed a
coat of paint, but just why he should
select one Of the hottest days of the
summer for the work is hard TO en-
plain.
On the eventful day in question. hr
took the ancient ladder from the hooks
behind the barn. and with paint pot
and brush in hand. he shoelessly and
fearlessly commenced the ascent to
the roof
He began to fear for his safety, how
ever, moment after starting. but the
ladder held him. and he stepped upon
the roof with an audible sigh of relief.
The roof slants. but in his stocking
feet he managed to keep his footing all
right and painting commenced.
Sakes alive, but wasn't that roof
hot. In a moment his feet began to
burn, and he rolled around rather I'M
easily. to find a cooler spot. Then he
concluded to go down but his feet were
nearly blistered and it would be worse
to try to go on hands and knees. and
there was the danger, too of upSetting
the paint pot.
We think that perhaps some of the
neighbors can best describe his gyra-
tons while en- route to the ladder. and
we have only to announce that the roof
will be painted some time in the fall.

Death Of George Tyler.

The community was greatly shocked.
last evening. to hear of the death OF
George Tyler at his home at Farming
dale, at few minutes past o'clock in
the evening. For a little over year
Mr.. Tyler had been a sufferer with
consumption and everything that could
| be done to relieve him was tried. He
went to Saranac Lake, n. Y, about a
year ago, and for time he received
some relief but the physicians. there
decided that he could not stand it long.
and, about three weeks ago. he return
ed to his home here. Since his arrival
he had failed very rapidly and the last
of the week suffered several hemor-
rhages, and being so weak was unable
to rally.
He was born at Chelsea, 30 years
ago, and was there brought up. Ten
years ago, he entered into the clothing
business with his father and after his
decease, took the business himself and
until the time of his illness was one
of the most successful traders along
Water street. Four years ago, he was
married to Miss Lucretia Ring, with
whom he lived a most happy life. He
was member of the Knights of
Pythias of this city, and prominent
member of the Odd Fellows, he being
past grand in Gardiner Lodge, 1. o. O.
F.. past grand patriarch in Canton
Evergreen.
In public life there are few men who
had more friends than George. He
was acquainted with all and everybody
was the same to him. Whenever he
met a person he knew he always greet
| ed them with a smile and kind word
and every body in the city loved him.
He was a very charitable man and
many a hungry and sick person can
| thank him for kindnesses. The com
munty has suffered not greater loss
| for a long time than in the death Of
this man. He is survived by widow
and one daughter, who have the SYM
| patty of the entire community.
