special from Oswego says: A terrific
cyclone struck here from the northeast
on Friday. The wind rapidly increased
velocity till z O'Clock, when there was a
short lull, and the wind veered suddenly

roofing houses, uprOOting trees, and do
ing other damage. Nearly every saw
mill was damaged, and several million
feet of lumber blown or ffOated away

The KallOeh Case.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 25.-The Alta
and Call denounce the Chronicle as
Matchmaking sheet, and say it system
atIcally bleeds every candidate for Office
and public corporations, and complain
of its uncsrupulOus attacks. Kearney's
address to the workingmen quieted
them, and no fear of violence is now en-
tertained. He said in ten days the cleo
ton would put the city in their control
and then justice would be melted out to
De Young, but to break the law now
would wreck their opportunity, and
even if they could over come the reVOl-
vers of the police and rifles of the mill
tury the blOOdshed would not be worth
the result. KallOch's son also addressed
the mob, counseling moderation. Reso-
lutions to withdraw patronage from all
firms advertising in the Chronicle, were
adopted. Everthing is quiet again, Kali
locks physicians report strong hopes of
his recovery. The leader of the Work
ingmen's party had conference with
KalloCh's medical advertiser to-day to
consider the expediency of putting up
some other man for mayor. His physi-
clan informed them that he saw nothing
to render such course necessary, init
mating probabilities of his early re-
covery. Charles DeYOung was brought
before the police court to-day and waiv-
ing examination was held to answer a
charge of assault to murder without bail
The Chronicle claims that its articles
against KallOch were published from a
sense of duty, and says if the election
results IN the Workingmen's success,
there will be, no peace, but such as is
agreeable to those who mean nothing
less than revolution.

Good Report.
WASHINGTON, August 25.-The Au-
gust returns to the department of agricul- |
ture, show a general average. The con-
ditiOn of corn the 1st of August was SO,
against 90 in July. AS compared with
August, 1878, there is a considerable de-
cline, being SO last year. Of 1,1T2 coun-
ties reporting the condition of crops the
1st of August, twenty-three report a full
average condition; 300 above, and 624
below.
The New England and Middle Allan
tic states all show high average and
the only complaints were of the late
spring. In Pennsylvania and Maryland
the drouth was not very injurious, and
timely rains restored the crops to fair
average. In Virginia and the south At
lantic states, the drouth cut short the |
early planted corn. The late planted |
corn was in a condition to be benefited |
by the rains generally reported at the
date of the returns. The Gulf states, |
Alabama and the Mississippi river, re-
port fine condition, but Louisiana, Is
low. Texas makes the worst record of
any state. Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana,
report averaging somewhat below that
of last year, while Illinois reports a
very high condition. The states west of
the Mississippi all report extraordinary
growth and most favorable prospects
Iowa reports 1O4; Missouri, lis; Kan
sas, ia; Nebraska, lib. The Pacific
states, with their small area planted in
the cereal, note fair average.
