THE VINTAGE OF IrALy.-A letter to
the Newark Advertiser, dated Genoa,
July Goth says:
The vintage Of Italy will fail again this
year. The leaves and young fruit of the
vine already betray signs Of this disease
mysterious as the cholera, which has SC
disastrously cut them off for four. years
past. The leaves are curling up and be.
coming crisp, and the grapes are covered
with white mould, which somewhat re-
sembles, though less thick, the coating
which you have so often seen on the goose
berries ia America. All sanitary expe
riments heave hitherto failed-such as dip
ping tbs clusters in solution OF glue
blowing sulphur over the vines laying then
in the ground, &c.

The Hand Writing

4 letter purporting to have been written by
spirit at koons' place in Athens Co. OHIO, and
one written by koons himself have been pro-
rounced by the very nest experts in this city to be
the same hand writing. We also informed
by 4 gentlemen of undoG5ted veracity. who has
recently made 4 visit TO this spirit dOnicle, that
notwithstanding the whole party o; mediums IL
cludIns Mr.. KoOns stated that after the room was
daTkened- no one did at any time leave the seat
assigned to him, he more than once reached from
where he was sitting aai removed the chair which
one OF the mediums ought to have occupied ac-
coTdlng 10 their arrangement. thus proving most
concIusively that the pretended medium was IN
another part of the room. and was probably en-
gagged in producing the noise that was heard at
that time.
The spirit hand which has so long humhugged
the visitors is now found to be attached to the arm
and body OF real mortal and covered with phos-
phorlIs. We have no doubt but that many OF these
phenomena are yet perfectly inexplicabie, yet at
the same fine the most of them are found to be
the work Of designing impostors-
We have never seen in anv one instance, nor
have we been informed by those who have given
the subject the greatest attention. what goot-- II
any can result from the manifestations even If all
, claimed for them be true.
On the contrary much injury mas already re-
suited from these Investigations for al this time
