EXTRAORDINARY ,ELOPEMENT.—The Worcester Chro-
nicle describes at length a flight of incipient Mormons,
which took place last week. "On the previous Sunday
morning Mr. Hodgetts had roads one of his usual
voyages to the.coal conotry, and on his return on the
following Saturd3y was distracted on finding that his
Wife bad left him, and induced all her children to wenn-
pany her. Not enly had ske left him, but she had token
away a great deal of ready dash, which she had cal;ected
from the customers, had drawn 3141 by cheques out of
the bank on the previous day, and had carried off every-
thing portable, even the bed linen from the house. The
poor man's agony and distraction of mind can scarcely
be imagined;.;-be implored the aid of the police in re-
covering wife a.nd. children ; and on the same night Su-
perintendent Chipp started with him in pursuit. , They
proceeded at once to Liverpool, procured the assistance
of the police ip that town, and, after several hours
spent in making inquiries, learned that the Enoch Trail
had started out of port two hours before with four hun-
dred Mormons on hoard, and it was supposed that Mrs.
Hodgetts and family were the number. With some
difficulty a bargain was struck with the captain of a
steam-tug, the Great Conquest, which shortly afterwards
started in pursuit of the fugitives. Nothing was seen
of the -Enoch Trail until the Conquest had crossed the
bar at the mouth of the Mersey, when her captain made
out the vessel with his glass, and screwed down his
safety valves. For two or three hours the- ohm., con-
tinued, when the Enoch Trail slackened speed, and the
Conquest was allowed to come alongside. As soon as
the errand of the pursuers became known, the greatest
excitement pervaded the passengers ; but after a great
deal of wrangling anitabuse, which lasted an hour and
a half, Mr. Hodgetts was allowed to take away his wife
and three of his children. The two eldest girls, aged
respectively IG. and 18, obstinately refused to go back.
Mr. Hodgetts is now once more safely housed with his
wife, who, we believe, positively declares that she will
go back to the. Salt Lake at some time or other. She
has brought back` with her the greater portion of the
money, but not the whole."
