A Famous Town.

From the London Telegraph
About five weeks ago n fire broke out
in the little town of Urfa, better known
10 the European public by its biblical
name of Ur, and highly venerated
throughout the Orient as the birthplace
of Abraham. The house in which that
celebrated patriarch was born is still
standing in Urfa; it is called " Bet
Chalil Allah the house of Gods friend
and hundreds of pious pilgrims visit it
annually. When the conhagration took
place on the oath Of January, many of
the inhabitants of Urfa took refuge In
Abraham's dwelling, and carried thither
all their valuables persuaded that the
flames would respect the structure IN
which SO holy parsonage first saw the
light of day. Strange to say, their faith
IN the inviolability OF this ancient sane
