crown-prince of Prussia crossed the Lauter and gained a brilliant but bloody victory over the French (a part of MacMahon's division), storming the lines, and the Geisberg. Gen. Abel Douay was mortally wounded, and about 500 prisoners were made. The killed and wounded on both sides appear to have been nearly equal. The German army, composed of Prussians, Bavarians, and Würtembergers, were, it is said, about 40,000 against about 10,000 French, who fought with desperate bravery. Witchcraft. The Jewish law (Exodus xxii. 18), 1491 B.C., decreed, “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." Saul, after banishing or condemning witchcraft, consulted the witch of Endor, 1056 B.C. (1 Sam. xxviii.). Bishop Hutchinson's historical "Essay on Witchcraft" was published in 1718. Pope Innocent VIII. issued a bull against witchcraft in 1484. Thousands of innocent persons were burned, and others killed by the tests applied. Many Templars burned at Paris for witchcraft, etc., 1309. About five hundred witches burned in Geneva in three months, 1515. Many burned in the diocese of Como in a year, about 1524. A great number in France, about 1520, when one sorcerer confessed to having 1200 associates. Nine hundred burned in Lorraine, 1580–1595. One hundred and fifty-seven burned at Würzburg, old and young, learned and ignorant, between 1627 and 1629. Grandier, the parish priest at Loudon, burned on a charge of having bewitched a whole convent of nuns, 1634. In Bretagne, twenty poor women put to death as witches, 1654. Disturbances commenced on charges of witchcraft in America, in Massachusetts, 1648-9; and persecutions raged dread. fully in Pennsylvania in 1683; see infra. At Salem, in New England, nineteen persons hanged (by the Puritans) for witchcraft, eight more condemned; fifty confessed themselves to be witches and were pardoned, 1692; see infra. about 1676. Two pretended witches were executed at Northampton in 1705, and five others seven years afterwards. In 1716, Mrs. Hicks, and her daughter, aged nine, were hanged at Huntingdon. Northamptonshire and Huntingdon preserved the supersti niece or daughter acted strangely, and an old Indian servant-woman was accused of having bewitched her. Fasting and prayer were resorted to, to break the "spell." The malady increased. The alarm spread over the whole community, and the idea seized the colonists that evil spirits, having ministering servants among them, overshadowed the land. Old and ill-favored women were suspected and accused of practising sorcery. Even the lady of governor Phipps did not escape suspicion. Many excellent persons, suspected, were imprisoned, and Mr. Burroughs, a minister, was executed. Men of strong minds and scholarly attainments were thoroughly deluded. For six months the dreadful delusion prevailed, and during that time 20 persons suffered death, 55 were tortured or frightened into a confession of witchcraft, and when a special court was convened in October, 1692, no less than 150 accused persons were in prison. A sudden reaction took place, and many of the accusers shrunk abashed from the public gaze. Witena-mot, or WITENA-GEMOT, the assembling of the wise men, the great council of the Anglo-Saxons. A witena-mot was called in Winchester by Egbert, 800, and in London, 833, to consult on the proper means to repel the Danes; see Parliament. Witepsk (in Russia), where a battle was fought between the French under marshal Victor, duke of Belluno, and the Russians, commanded by gen. Wittgenstein. The French were defeated after a desperate engagement, with the loss of about 3000 men on both sides, 14 Nov. 1812. Witnesses. Two or more witnesses were required by the law of Moses, 1451 B.C. (Deut. xvii. 6), and by the early Christian church in cases of discipline (2 Cor. xiii. 1), A.D. 60. The evidence of two witnesses required to attaint for high-treason, 25 Edw. III. 1352. In civil actions between party and party, if a man be subpœnaed as a witness on a trial, he must appear in court on pain of 100% to be forfeited to the king, and 10., together with the damages equivalent to the loss sustained by the want of his evidence to the party aggrieved. Lord Ellenborough ruled that no witness is obliged to answer questions which may tend to degrade himself, 10 Dec. 1802. New act relating to the examination of witnesses passed 13 Geo. III. 1773. Act to enable courts of law to order the examination of witnesses upon interrogations and otherwise, 1 Will. IV. 30 March, 1831. Wives, see Marriage. By the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes act, passed in 1857, the condition of married women have been much benefited. When ill-used they can obtain a divorce or judicial separation; and while in the latter state any property they may acquire is secured to them personally, as if unmarried. By another act passed in 1857, they are enabled to dispose of In Scotland, thousands of persons were burned in the period reversionary interests in personal property or estates. of about a hundred years.

The king published his Dæmonologie in Edinburgh, 1597. The last sufferer in Scotland was at Dornoch in 1722. The laws against witchcraft had lain dormant for many years, when an ignorant person attempting to revive them (by finding a bill against a poor old woman in Surrey for the practice of witchcraft), they were repealed, 10 Geo. II. 1736. Credulity in witchcraft still abounds in the country districts of England. On 4 Sept. 1863, a poor old paralyzed Frenchman died in consequence of having been ducked as a wiz ard at Castle Hedingham, Essex, and similar cases have since occurred. Ann Turner, old; killed as a witch by a half-insane man at Long Compton, Warwickshire, 17 Sept. 1875. Witchcraft, SALEM. A curious chapter in the history of popular delusions is the record of that which is known in American history as Salem witchcraft. The people of Massachusetts, from the rulers to the most humble, generally believed in witchcraft. It had taken strong hold upon their feelings, and in the early spring of 1692 excitement suddenly broke out at Danvers (part of Salem), Mass., and spread like an epidemic. It commenced in the family of the parish minister. His well as personal and freehold property bequeathed to her. She may maintain an action at law, and acquires other rights. The husband is declared not liable for debts coutracted by his wife prior to marriage, and she may be sued for them. This act was amended in 1874. Husband and wife may be jointly sued for her debts before marriage. By the Matrimonial Causes act, 1878, a magistrate can grant judicial separation, with maintenance, to a wife suffering from her husband's ill-usage. House of lords decide that the husband is not responsible for his wife's debts if he allow sufficient for dress, etc. (Debenham v. Mellon).. ....27 Nov. 1880 Wives' Poison, or WATER TOFANA, see Poisoning.

Worth sur Sauer, a town in the department of the Lower Rhine, N.E. France. After storming Wissembourg (which see) on 4 Aug. 1870, the crown-prince of Prussia, with the 3d army (about 150,000), marched rapidly forward and surprised part of the French army under marshal MacMahon, including the corps of Canrobert and part of that of Failly (about 47,000), and defeated it in a long, desperate, and sanguinary engagement near this place, 6 Aug. The battle lasted from 9 A.M. till 4 P.M. The chief struggles occurred in the country round Reichshoffen and in the village of Froschweiller; the French are said to have charged the German line eleven times, each time breaking it, but always finding a fresh mass behind. The ridge on which Worth stands was not captured until the French were taken in flank by the Bavarians and Würtembergers. Nearly all MacMahon's staff were killed, and the marshal himself, unhorsed, fell fainting into a ditch, from which he was rescued by a soldier. He then, on foot, directed the retreat towards Saverne, to cover the passes of the Vosges. The victory is attributed to the very great numerical superiority of the Germans as well as to their excellent strategy. The French loss has been estimated at 5000 killed and wounded, and 55,000 prisoners, 2 eagles, 6 mitrailleuses, 35 cannon, and much baggage. The Germans are stated to have had above 8000 men put hors de combat. It was admitted that MacMahon had acted as an able and brave commander. Wolverhampton (Staffordshire), an old town formerly named Hamton, owes its present name to the foundation of a college here by Wulfrana, sister of king Edgar, and widow of Aldhelm, duke of Northampton, 996. The queen was present at the inauguration of the prince-consort's statue here, 30 Nov. 1866; and the church congress was opened here, 1 Oct. 1867. Wolverhampton is eminent for its manufactures in metal. Statue of C. P. Villiers (its M.P., 1835-7) was uncovered, 6 June, 1879. Wolves were once very numerous in England. Their heads were demanded as a tribute, particularly 300 yearly from Wales, by king Edgar, 961, by which step they were falsely said to be totally destroyed.Carte. Edward I. issued his mandate for the destruction of wolves in several counties of England, 1289. Ireland was infested by wolves for many centuries after their extirpation in England; for there are accounts of some being found there so late as 1710, when the last presentment for killing wolves was made in the county of Cork. Wolves still infest France, in which kingdom 8384 wolves and cubs were killed in 1828-9. They were troublesome in the Vosges, Oct. 1875. Women. The employment of women is regulated by the Factory and Workshop Regulation acts (which see). (See Degrees, Female Medical School, Marriage, and Wives.)

The principal part was soon taken up. In Nov. 1872, the Improved Wood-pavement Company put forth a prospectus; and in May, 1876, wood had been largely laid down, and was said to be the best pavement in London. Oxford street was paved by Henson's Street-paving Company with a compound of wood, asphalt, felt, and Portland cement in 1876; with wood.. Bond street and many other streets paved with wood..1879-81 Wood-cuts, see Engraving on Wood. 1878 The board Woods, FORESTS, etc., see Forests. of woods, forests, and land revenues was constituted in 1810. The oversight of works and public buildings was added to its duties in 1832, but transferred to a separate board of commissioners in 1851. In 1874 the annual revenue of the crown woods and forests was 487,6957.; expenditure, 35,8751. Wood's Half-pence, for circulation in Ireland and America, were coined by virtue of a patent, passed 1722-3. Against them, Dr. Jonathan Swift, by his "Drapier's Letters," raised such a spirit that Wood was virtually banished the kingdom. The half-pence were assayed in England by sir Isaac Newton, and proved to be genuine, in 1724. Woodstock (Oxfordshire). In Woodstock, now Blenheim Park, originally stood a royal palace, in which king Ethelred held a parliament, and Alfred the Great translated "Boethius de Consolatione Philosophiæ," 888. Henry I. beautified the palace; and here resided Rosamond, mistress of Henry II., 1154. In it were born Edmund, second son of Edward I., 1301, and Edward, eldest son of Edward III., 1330; and here the princess Elizabeth was confined by her sister Mary, 1554. A splendid mansion, built at the expense of the nation for the duke of Marlborough, was erected here to commemorate his victory at Blenheim in 1704. At that time every trace of the ancient edifice was removed, and two elms were planted on its site; see Blenheim. Scott's romance, "Woodstock," was published June, 1826. Marshall's "History of Woodstock," 1873. Wool. From the earliest times to the reign of queen Elizabeth the wool of Great Britain was not only superior to that of Spain, but accounted the finest in the universe; and even in the times of the Romans a manufacture of woollen cloths was established at Winchester for the use of the emperors.-Anderson. In later times wool was manufactured in England, and is mentioned 1185, but not in any quantity until 1331, when the weaving of it was introduced by John Kempe and other artisans from Flanders. This was the real origin of our now unrivalled manufacture, 6 Edw. III. 1331.-Rymer's Fœdera. Duties on exported wool were levied by Edward I.. 1275 The exportation prohibited. 1337 46 The exportation of English wool and the importation of Irish wool into England prohibited..

We imported from Australia, in 1842, 12,979,856 lbs. ; in 1794 1824 Wool-combers in several parts of England have a procession on 3 Feb., in commemoration of bishop Blaise, who is reported to have discovered their art. He is said to have visited England, and to have landed at St. Blazy, in Cornwall. He was bishop of Sebaste, in Armenia, and is said to have suffered martyrdom in the Diocletian persecution, 289.

Wool was the staple commodity of England in the reign of Edward III., when the woolsack first came into use. Woolwich (Kent), the most ancient military and naval arsenal in England. Its royal dockyard, where men-of-war were built in the reign of Henry VIII., was closed 1 Oct. 1869. Here Harry Grâce de Dieu was built, 1512; and here she was burned in 1552. The royal arsenal was formed about 1720, on the site of a rabbit - warren; it contains vast magazines of great guns, mortars, bombs, powder, and other warlike stores; a foundry, with many furnaces, for casting ordnance; and a great laboratory, where fireworks, cartridges, grenades, etc., are made for the public service. The Royal Military Academy was erected in the royal arsenal, but the institution was not completely formed until 19 Geo. II. 1745.

Worship IN ENGLAND. The Druids were the priests here, at the invasion of the Romans (55 B.C.), who eventually introduced Christianity, which was almost extirpated by the victorious Saxons (455), who were pagans. The Roman Catholic form of Christianity was introduced by Augustine, 596, and continued till the Reformation (which see). See Hymns, Liturgies, Prayers, Public Worship, Ritualists.
