The horror of horrors in all Italy is
found at Padua, known as the torture
rooms of that Economical monster Of

ruler of Verona, Padua, Vicenza and
Brescia. His cruelties finally became
so intolerable that the church pro-
claimed a crusade against him. The
peasantry rose and farmer killed the
brute with scythe. | was shown an
upright box in which was the skeleton

the condemned to see a table, just

The assembly opened with the an
nual sermon of the Rev. DIR. william

is moderator, stated clerk and secre-

committees. Many important matters
will be considered during the conven-

are receptions and motor car rides and

WEYBRIDGE.

Mr.. Hiram Tyler, who died at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Jessie Down.
ing on North street, Burlington, on Mon
day last, was born near our village so
years ago. His parents died when he
was quite young, and he was taken into
the family of Mr.. and Mrs. Lemas Abbott.
where he lived until his manhood. Mr..
Abbott carried on the blacksmithing
business and Mr.. Tyler learned the trade
and together they continued the business
until old age made it necessary for Mr..
Abbott to retire. Mr.. Tyler then en-.
larged and added carriage making to his
trade, doing large business for coun-
try town. At the call for nine months
men he enlisted in Co. E, 14th VT, served
faithfully until his time expired. At the
Gettysburg fight he was detailed to
carry the wounded from the field and
was exposed to the fire of the enemy
most of the time. He received two balls
in his leg, which he carried with him
ever afterward. Twelve years ago he
removed to Burlington, where he mas
since resided. Old age and his infirmity
rendered him unfit for hard service. His
home there has been with his daughter,
Mrs. Jessie Downing on North street,
who has tenderly cared for HIM. He is
survived by his wife and daughter and
Mr.. Carlo Tyler, distant relative. Mrs.
Tyler's maiden name was Elizabeth Dav-
is, daughter of Mr.. Samuel Davis, also of
this place. He was good neighbor, OBJ
liging in all his ways, man of few
words and free from all controversary.
We shall miss his usual annual summer
visits at his old home here, where he and
Mrs. Tyler, now more than 80 years of
age, have enjoyed the quiet of our village
during the hot months of summer.

When a review is eventually made of
the serenity with which special interests
were allowed to continue to reap i'll
gotten gains at the expense of the public
welfare, through long years, until sud-
denly called to a halt by this one power
full man, the world is likely to forget the
innocent who have suffered, and to over
look the extremes of utterance, and per-
haps the injudiciousness of temper, which
have characterized him. Only the noun
tain ranges of accomplishment will re-
main in view, and these will serve as
perpetual barriers for all the future. The
depressions will be merged in the general
landscape. This, we take it, will be the
ultimate fate of Roosevelt's work. with
the historians. The words of Lincoln at
Gettysburg might to this extent be para
phrased in reference to Mr.. Roosevelt's
