EXTRAORDINARY ELOPEMENT.
A great sensation has been created throughout the Rhondda Valley, Wales, by an extraordinary elopement of a young bachelor, who has become possessed of a fortune, with his hostess and four children. It appears that a young master ganger on the New Barry mil way had for Borne months been iu apartments with a young couple and their family at Pontypridd. The mother, it seems, was of very prepossessing appearance, and an intimacy arose between the unfaithful wife and the young gentleman, who was also passionately fond of the children, and spent a good deal of time with them, and seemed to win their affections. The visitor recently had several thousand pounds left him, and a few evenings ago the husband, on returning home, found that the stranger and his wife and family had all disappeared, and no tidings could be gained of them. It was, however, ascertained that the wife had set sail with her lover and little ones for New Zealand. The father grieves over the loss of his children, and efforts will be made to arrest the errant pair on their arrival at the antipodes.—English paper.
