Advance of Spiritualism.
According to the Grey town correspondent of an exchange, spiritualism appears to be spreading rapidly m that township, and for that matter is certainly extending its influence throughout the Wairarapa. A gentleman originated the movement a few years since, but an impetus recently has taken place, occasioned by the instrumentality of a little girl aged eleven, whose family investigated the phenomena, and spoke of the matter. Others became interested, and have proved the matter for themselves. Then writing and trance mediums were developed, and meetings were held by circles m various houses. These inquiries have almost invariably produced good results. Materialists have been staggered and convinced of a future life ; the incipient drunkard has practised sobriety, and the selfish, sordid man has exercised liberality.
