During the past week the Rev. Father

in this city, to hrge audiences. we have
from time to time given an account Of his

be has succeeded In convincing many who
have hitherto acknowledged the Roman

Of course, lis principal object was to

and being q talented speaker, It is not to be

able degree in his undertaking. HIS remarks
appear 10 have met with considerable derf-,

Of that class had resolved to- be revenged.

the damuge to the building was done before
any one, except those engaged in the affair,
knew un5 thing about It.
This outEuge created feeling Of revenge
throughout q portion Of the community, and
rnmor was set afioat that st. Anne's Church
on Larnel street would be 'retallatcd upon
Saturday night. These rumors, whether
true or not, rendered precautionary measures
NECESSARY, and Sheriff Fralick was consulted
on the subject of the alleged. contemplated
