ATTLEBoRo, MASS, is considerably ex.
cited over the sudden disappearance of
Mr.. F. E. Bailey, a well-to-do jeweler,
who, while his wife was out on a visit,
went to his residence and filling a valise
with Undertaking, took a train for
New York. When Mrs. Bailey returned
she found letter from him stating that
he had departed never to return alive,
and was going to Mexico to engage in
mining. There was also Power of At
torney in favor of his son-in-law, author
izing him to continue the business, and
stating what disposition to make of the
property, percentage of which was to
20 for the maintenance of his wife. He
had completed his arrangements for de-
parture with great foresight and sagacity,
the business affairs being all fixed. He
had called in mortgages and other debts
due him to the value of about $4,000,
which it is supposed he took with him.
The homestead, valued at about $4,000,
was in his wife's name. The runaway
husband has ten married children.

EGYPT,S TROUBLES.

Alexandria dispatches, 22d, say Arab Pa.
sha is erecting fresh works and strengthen.
ing his position. A party of fifty Bedouins
crept up and pillaged two villages in the vi.
cinity of Meks. They carried off three
watchmen. The Khedive has issued another
decree to the authorities to implicitly obey
Gen. Woolsey, who he says is authorized to
restore order in Egypt. Considerable skirmish.
ing seems to be going on, and the report that
Arab had withdra wn large part of hi,
troops from the British front is denied. Arab
dined with DeLesseps recently, and reported
his troops we're fortified at Tell ell Kebir.
Arabs troops have been again repulsed in q
skirmish with the Highlanders.
EGYPTIAN advices, Odd: The Austrian gun.
boat Nautilus, bound from Port Said to Alex.
andra, passed Aboukir, and the commander
seeing white flag flying on the Abourkir
forts, supposed they were in possession of the
British, and sent boat ashore with an officer
and twelve men, who were made prisoners by
the Egyptians. The British have captured
Ruchdi Pasha, formerly the Khedive's Minis.
ter of Finance, and Zulfikar Pasha
of the Khedive's household, who
had espoused the cause of Arab
Pasha. The military police arrested nine.
teen Greeks who were pillaging in the Arab
quarter in Ismalia Ten of the prisoners were
shot. Thirty thousand Beduoin cavalry are
reported in the vicinity of Kantara. The
British forces now hold the Suez canal
throughout the entire length According to
authentic information Arab Pasha has q, coo
men at Kafir ell Dwar. Large numbers of men
are constantly entrenching at Tel ell Kebir,
and there is little doubt that the big fight of
the war will occur there.
A telegram received at Alexandria the oath,
announced the capture by the British of Tel
ell Kebir and 1000 prisoners, but it was not
generally credited. 1t is also stated that while
Arab Pasha's Generals are fully advised of
the British movements, the latter are ignorant
of the movements of the Egyptians. The ad.
vance of heavy cavalry and marine artillery has
commenced from Ismalia, and while the
British cavalry advanced the enemy shelled
them, wounding a few men and horses. tits
now thought that decisive battle cannot be
much longer delayed.
Gen. Wolseley telegraphs from Alexandria
the 25th, that he had just had another fight wit3
Arab Pasha's forces near Ismalia, in which
he gained an easy victory, capturing five
Krupp guns, seyenty-fye railway carriages
laden with provisions and quantity Of am
munition and rifles. 1t is rumored that
Arab Pasha accuses DeLesseps with
having deceived him with false prom
Uses so as TO be able to sell the Suez canal to
the English, and he has set a price on DeLee-
seps' head. Some of the principal Arab
merchants of Port Said and Damietta have
contributed money toward the cause of the
rebels. Five hundred horses have been sen,
them from Damietta.
