BERLIN, Sept. 8.
A sanguinary battle was fought on Friday
along the line from Merry to Donzey, COM
commencing at O'Clock in the morning.
McMahon resisted the Prussian attack until
3 o'clock in the afternoon.
The firing was incessant and furious along
the entire line of both armies, and continued
with fearful distructiveness and slaughter.
The firing Stacked and ceased at half past
three o'clock in the afternoon. At that mo-
ment the solid columns of Prussians, bayonet
in hand, advanced to the assault.
The crisis was now to be decided by steel
Quickly the Prussians move, and with over
whelming impetuosity precipitated themselves
upon McMahon's lines. At all points the
French unavailingly struggled, but were de-
feated and routed, driven in utter disorder en-
masse across the Meuse.
The Prussians were victorious and held the
entire field lately occupied by the French.
The slaughter was fearful from the awful
fire which had been necessarily maintained
for ten hours.
The rout of the French was complete.

On former occasion. we advocated the
selling by weight OF nearly every article
of farmers producc, and Ne have net

were not correct. The fact IS, selling by
weight IS the only fair way of dealing.
AMI the wonder i, that Congress has not
long since taken the subject in hand. and
passed a law compelling it. Those who
have been in the habit ct buying potatoes,
apples, luvnips, or Ia fact any vegetables
or fruits, that are sold by measure. can
not fail ia have noticed how frequently Il

Preserving Winter Apples.

Mr.. EditOr;-Now that it is getting to
be about time Tor farmers TO put their
applesin cellars, few remarks. though
from the pen OF a young farmer, may not
come amiss. Every faImer thinks his
way the best; we. however, are of the
opinion that apples keep far better when
packed into close boxes or barrels, and
kept Is much as possible from the air.
When thus stored, we think they will
come out in the spring fair and smooth rs
when gathered from the tree. Many
varieties that arc not considered aS long

found that they keep better 10 let them
