Franks Of a Minnesota Tornado.

The Minneapolis Tribune relates some
of the pranks cut up by a recent tornado
near Mendoza, Wlnn. We are told,
among other things, that a pine stick,
two inches square was driven into an
elm tree with such force that it was
fairly bedded in the living wood. A w0-
man, Mrs. y Patrick fully, was carried q
distance of five rods, clear across one
ravine and deposited in another. The

owned little4fock of sheep, when the
storm struck his place, and OF this num-
Der eleven were missing. Subsequently
eight Of them were found in the tree
tops, fully one mile from his house.
Two Of them were. found pinned to-
gether by board that had been driven
through the bodies OF the poor ANIMALS
and and then into the groufid-a taut

of new mode for "stringng" mutton.
The fencing on Mr.. Pareau's farm was
blown down from the ground posts and
all. Mr.. George Gage, living six miles
southwest of Mendoza, had ten acres OF
heavy timber on his place, and they
were swept clean by the wind, as il an
army Of choppers had passed through
the tract on a tour OF malicious destruc-
tion. Some large trees, roots and all,
were carried u distance ofone and a half
miles. John Berke, farmer living tour

and crashing against other debris OF the

THE THIRD TERN.

Nearly two years ago the demo-
cratic press of the country raised
the cry Of Casarism, and called for
the President to define his position
on the third tenn question: but,
owing to the ridicule subsequent to
declining a nomination before it is
offered, he refused to answer until
the action Of the republican con-
vention Of the state of Pennsylva-
MIA made it necessary for him to
state his position. He declares pos
itively and openly that he is not a
candidate for the third term; neither
would he take the nomination if
offered, unless the circumstance Of
the country should be such as to
render it an imperative dnty--some-
thing not likely to occur. He holds
that he made sacrifice in accept
ing the office the first time, since in
doing SO he vacated life position
that he loved, and that he has no
more desire for the third term
than he had for the first, since he
wishes to retire from public life.
The greatest objections to the
present administration arose from
an imaginary Capitalization of pow
er, and plot to secure reelection
The letter of'oxplanation has shown
these to be groundless, and it is
time now that the cry of Cnsarism
be forever hushed. The letter is in
no way ambiguous, hut states the
case fairly and honestly, intimating
that should it be the desire of the
people that he serve again, he would
do it, but reluctantly, This leaves
the matter with the people, and
should an error be committed,
either by electing him or not, it
would be an error of majority OF
the people, not of himself.
