Adjourned. J. KINGSBURY, Sec'y. In rc PI: I UNA to. —The following state ment has been volunteered by POMKNICO PETTIXATO, concerning the circumstances mentioned in our issue < f Moudns : 1 was married July 4iii. Jsiii), at Missina in Italy. My wife's maiden name was ANNE LAMOTTA. She is a native of Milazzo. My child was born March *2B, l s 7o. My occupa tion was that of book-keeper to the linn of F. O. L. BATTAGIJA DI (it LSSKPI'I, N0.'22 Ciaiv ibaldi street. Missina. ] came to this country on the ship Abram Lincoln, belonging to that firm, landing in Philadelphia February 8. LB7o. I sought employment at dilteVont j points as book-keeper, but on account of my ignorance of the language was unable to ob tain it. 1 learned the barber trade in New York. During my stay in this country I cor responded frequently with my wife. Came to Towanda four yea s ago next September. 1 have several times visited mv wife, who lived with her relatives, father find brothers, the latter of whom are wood-carvers and cab inetmakers, and live in Summit street Brook lyn. 1 endeavored to purstiade my wife to come and live with me but she refused to do so. giving one excuse end another. The last time 1 visited ACW York was at Thanksgiving two years ago. 1 told my wife this was the last time I should visit her, unless she would consent to corue here and live with ine. She refused to do so, and declared she preferred living with her father and family. Her father was a street contractor and bridge builder in Italy, and mine was engaged in the same bus iness. I told my wife, if she would not con sent to come and live with me, I would get a divorce. 1 applied to two dirt'er-nt attorneys in New York for that purpose,but their fees were more than 1 could pay. I wrote to New York through a prominent gentleman here atonother time to another attorney, but found his fees also too high. 1 also wrote to Italy concerning the same thing and was in formed that if I obtained a divorce. I could not marry again until my wife died. "I see this thing don't suit me so I quit entirely.'' I never represented myself a single man. "After my return from New York the last time some one asked me "where is yosr wife !" I an swered, "I have no wife." But everybody knew I had a wife; I never concealed it. I have shown the picture of my wife and child to persons in tins town. What I said as above, I said in a feeling of resentment. Last June I got a letter from my daughter, written in English. She wrote m'e she want ed to go back to Italy, and wanted to see me before going. I did not answer the letter. Last Weenesdav I got a registered letter of the same purport. I did not answer it. On Saturday morning about 10 o'clock, I was surprised by the appearance of two of my brothers-in-law, wife and child at my barber shop. I demanded to know what was want ed, and inv wife said she luid come to stay with me—to stav in Towsnda. I declared mv willingness forthwith to be reconciled to her on the avowal of their intention, and gave my hand in honor to support and maintain her as my wife. These are the circumstances attending the whole matter. BUSINESS LOCALS. " Fountain" Tobacco at Fitch's. FOR SALE—TWO valuable fresh milch cows, with calves by their sides. Enquire at this otliee.
