One of Arabs Tricks.

Arab Pasha recently gave or
ders to have the life of Napo-
leon /. translated into Arabic.
saying to his friends, "Napo-
leon is my model. [ will do
what he did-nay, I will do
more I will found an Arabian
empire" He has also tried to
play the role of a prophet by
frequently quoting the Koran,
and protesting to have familiar
interviews with the ghost of
Mahomet. One day, a month
ago, while ON his way to the
Mosque, he suddenly stopped
and stared wildly in the air, as
if seeing a vision. Then he
stamped upon the ground and
cried out that a gun was buried
underneath the spot. Excava-
tons were afterwards made, and,
surely enough, a gun was found
at % depth OF several feet.

 Fifteen years ago the 2Sth day of the present month, the Official Board of the Methodist Episcopal Church in this place found it necessary to borrow of the Falls Village Savings Bank, the sum of forty-fve hundred dollars, giving their joint note for the same. The so- ciety was then in its infancy; and the debt was incurred by building the new church. The society have struggled heroically with this burden during these years, keeping up the interest, and occasionally paying small amounts on the principal, thus reducing the burden, until on Wednesday, August 30, when the last dollar of the debt was paid, leaving the church property entirely free from debt. The old Trustee note, is now in the possession of the Pastor, and is certainly curiosity to those who are interested This debt has been paid in connection with the new parsonage enterprise which is well under way and which will be pushed to completion during the fall months. With earnest hearts and willing hands successful future is open to the M. E, Church in | Canaan.
