The SPIRITUALIsTIc EXHIBITION. = Mr..
Stone, the slate-writing medium, gave an ex-
hibition at Pioneer Hall last night for the
benefit of the Spiritualists' Union. There
was a fair attendance. He showed up some
of the tricks of Undertaking. mediums, and
then gave examples of alleged simon-pure
spiritual slate writing. The tests were not
very satisfactory, though those who received
communications vouched for their being to
the point, etc, but no sufficient opportunity
was afforded to examine into the mediums
methods and powers, and the unheiievers de-
parted firm in their heresy. In fact Stones
exposes and manifestations were not pro-
nouns ed successes. He himself stated that
the conditions were not " favorable"
