The death is announced of Longfellow's "Village Blacksmith," aged seventy-six. He was Thadeus W. Tyler, of Lynn, near Boston, U.S.A. To his children Mr. Tyler often told of his acquaintance with the poet while he worked at the forge in a Cambridge, Mass., blacksmith shop. Longfellow showed him the "Village Blacksmith," he said, after he had written it.
