They made the following recommendations That the estate of Francis Warner has large sum of back taxes and assessments against it, and they were given until the 1st of September, 1883, in which to pay the principal and in terest. In that of Mrs. Thomas Cunningham the interest was abated on her taxes on the ground of poverty provided she pays the principal in installments of $5 a month. commencing on the first day of June. In the case of Harriett Whittemore, which is an extreme case of poverty, it was the opinion of the board that the assessment ought to be ab9ted.

A small amount of interest was abated on the tax of the estate of Isaac Turner, pro vided the principal is paid on or before July l. In the case of Mary M. Carter they recommended that the interest be abated on the ground of poverty, if the principal is paid by September l. The cases of E. Louise Beecher, James H. Platt Leverett B. Clark, Joseph c.

Torrtngton prtscexenatton

The recent exhibition of the power of love in Torrington continues to stir the souls of the people, as is natural when a cultured and beautiful white woman falls willingly into the arms of black man for better or for worse Most of the papers cling to the story that the bridegroom is full blooded African, but those who know him there say he is 8 good looking mulatto, with rather dark complex ion. However, the young lady cloves him for keeps" and that settles it. The Winsted Press says her choice of black man over the handsome and proud white youths of Tor rington is not necessarily reflection upon the latter, but may be their misfortune, and advises them to spruce up and be more alert Tor they may lose another priza. :,
