EVERY American market followed the

English country markets was attribut-

near "Gad's Hill" A long line of family
portraits extended back to the Cru

with sunshine. A noise attracted our

APPLE SAUCE THAT WILL KEEP.

This is as great a convenience as pre-
yes. the preparation Of apples for
sauce not being always convenient for
the busy housekeeper. Inferior apples
may be used in this way, and the wind
falls of early autumn, when one is for
tunate enough to own an orchard, will
be found quite available. They should
be peeled, cored and freed from every
blemish, then cut up in quite small
pieces. A large earthen jar with cover
should be ready to receive them. Into
this put first a liberal sprinkling Of
sugar with cinnamon to taste, then a
layer of apples, then more sugar and
cinnamon. and so on till the jar is full.
The sugar should be regulated accord
ing to the tartness of the apples, from
a quarter to a half pound for one pound
Of apples being the rule. The jar should
be placed at the back of the range and
the fruit kept covered and gently sim
mering through the day. 1t should then
be set away TO cool and the apples
taken out only as they are needed for
sauce or desserts. Having no water
mixed with them. apples prepared in
this way are very palatable.- Ladies

WATERLOO.
Why the Early Reports Seemed In
credible to The Argus.

The circumstantial information OF
Captain Drummond, in regard to Bona
parties abdication and Imprisonment,
when taken in connexion with the ac-
knowledged unsettled state OF the
French interior, We confess has claims
to our belief; yet there are many cir
cumstances which tend to impair our
confidence in it's truth-such as the
improbablity of the transactions re-
orted; the short time which had elapse ed
from the period at which Bonaparte was
known TO be on the frontiers; and the
contradiction in the reports themselves.
But there is another fact which, If the
dates are accurately given, renders the
Boston News still less probable, and
that is that the British sloop-of-war
Bramble. which, according to Captain
Oxnard, left Portsmouth on the Sd day
of July, six days after the news Of
Bonaparte's abdication is stated to have
been published in London, knew not a
syllable OF the matter, though she was
the bearer of governmental dispatches
10 Halifax, and communications to Cap
tain Halifax, and commflttvbgk bgkg
