 A few days ago a decree of divorce was awarded by the Court in the case of Latonia C. Aldrich vs. Martin L. Aldrich.

May 18, 1886
 In the divorce case of Edward Bush against Mary C. Bush a decree of divorce was awarded some time ago upon the grounds of desertion set out by the libellant and without notice having been personally served upon the respondent.  Recently an application was made by the respondent to have the decree set aside, upon the grounds that the alleged facts upon which the libellant obtained his divorce were not true, and that no desertion had taken place.  The Court filed an opinion on the 4th instant, vacating the decree of divorce and restoring the case to its former position, with leave to the libellant to reply in twenty days.
 It seems that the parties were married in Lycoming County, August 17, 1882.  Shortly after the marriage the young husband went to his home at Newberry Station, and the wife, who was several years his senior, went to her former home, the husband promising to call for her in a few days.  He did not keep this promise, however, some time afterward she had him arrested for the support of herself and child.  In order to free himself he made various promises, but failed to keep them.
 The young man’s father then went to the woman and offered her a home with himself and his wife, but she refused to live with them, believing that their feelings toward her were not very friendly.  Upon this refusal a pretext for a divorce was based.  It is stated that the young man’s own admissions show that he had never contributed toward support of his wife or child, and his efforts to free himself for them have, so far, resulted as above stated.
