 William H. Armstrong of Norwich has filed papers with the clerk of the su
 perior court asking for an annulnent of his pretended marriage with Ella Daniels of Waterford on Nov. IS, 1SS0
 This is another step in his efforts to get out of marital involvements, the previous chapter having ended with a divorce from Annie M. Arnold secured on Dec. Il. 1914. The circumstances of the case are somewhat unusual.
 On June ', 1879. MT. Armstrong, who has been in the employ of the New Haven road for many years. mar ried Annie M. Arnold in Sterling. Later he found that she has given an assumed name, her real name being Martha Knowles. and for that reason he considered the marriage null and void. Believing this on Nov.

NORWICH YoUNGsTER
 TRYING NEW LONDON DOORS Joseph Dennis Was Found Trying to
 Get Into Stores by Policemen.

Early Thursday morning Joseph Dennis of Summit street, this city, was found trying store doors in State street and was taken to police head quarters by Patrolman Howard and Special Officer Barnes. They saw the boy try the doors of the HisIop store, Linicus' cigar store and Ruddy's jew elry store and proceeded to round him up.
 Dennis has served a term in the Reform school for burglary commit ted here and though he claims to be but Il years of age. the police say he is nearer fl. He appears to be mentally lacking.
 Captain TWOmey was notified by the New Lordon police and he got in touch with the boys parents. They said they would care for him and Thursday afternoon Chief Linton was notified that they had taken the boy home.
 It is claimed that the boy was found in CranstOn's store some time ago and later he broke into Boardman's store on Franklin street. The police are of the opinion that he may have been guilty of some of the recent breaks here in local stores as the work look ed more like that of a boy than a man. They think the boy should be cared for in the epileptic colony in Mansfield. as he is not a fit person to have at large.

 Concerning the system employed in Lisbon Tax Commissioner William H. Corbin has this gratifying comment to make in his biennial report for 1915 1914:
 The board of assessors of the town of Lisbon, consisting of Calvin Will COX, Ernest M. Blake and George J. Meyer. caused to be printed the as- sessment list of 1913. giving the item- ized value of all the property belong ing to the different individual taxpay- CTS. The work done by this board is remarkable as compared with that done in other country towns in the state. Practically every form of tax able property has been included in the individual lists and separated in it's detail so that it is possible to se- cure an accurate comparison of val nations of similar property through out the town.
 A few excerpts from the published lists of the town of Lisbon are given herewith to show the complete detail of the work done there.
