TIE LATE OUTRAGE AT DoRCHEs-
TEn.--The outrage on the Catholic
Church at Dorchester, Massachusetts,.
is variously attributed. 1tissupposed
by some to have been a patriotic de-
monstration for the Fourth Of July,
others think that the deed was done
by some Of the congregation, who
were opposed to the location. The
gun powder was placed in the centre
of the building and fred about three
o'clock in the morning. The roof
was entirely blown of, and the East
and West Walls demolished, leaving
the building complete wreck.
