HoLYoKE CATHOLICS DISSATISFIED
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD

SPRINGFIELD, Mass Nov. 25, 1879.
The Holyoke French Catholics have signed petit
ton to have Bishop OReily divide the local parish
and remove Father Du.resne. the priest who was
lately mulcted in $1,000 for communicating
the hickman Parker. Father Dufresne intimates
that he will excommunicate the Catholic
witnesses against him at the trial. and
refused on Saturday to baptize Daniel Proux's new
born baby. because Proux q witness for Parker,
but Proux brought the baby to Bishop OReilly,
who baptized 1t and surprised ut Father
Dufresne's conduct. The Holyoke Catholic priests
refused baptize the infant they did not want to
reflect on Father Dufresne Certain Hoyoke mer-
chants suspect that Father Dufresne is injurng
their business and help matters against him.
There are 5000 French Catholics at Holyoke, one
half of whom stay away from church because they
do not like Father Dufresnc who has been there ten
years. They say he is naughty, overbearing aud
knows no authority but the Pope.

The plan on which the iettes are construct

deposited by the river is in proportion to
the velocity Of the current, When the mo-

this deposit makes bars and shadows. When
