The GRAPE IN IThLY.---The grippe blight
continues, to- create great uneasiness in Italy,
where the failure Of the vintage would be nearly
as serious q calamity as the failure of the po-
tato crops in Ireland Z The disease in the vines
has spread to all parts of the peninsula, even
Sicily At present it cannot be- accounted for,
but in all the States the governments are in
yestigating the matter. Professor Petro Saw
gave it ashis opinion that the plant which in
tests the vines is the same spongy substance
which from time immemorial has attacked the
rose and other similar flowers and plants.
