The Illinois Journal of January l4th, says
that this strange intatuation IS again re-
yiyed in our immediate vicinity. 1t made
its appearance at protracted meeting AT
Indian Grove The ministers who conduct
ed the meetings, moved them from Indian
Gro:e to Avoca, and brought with them five
or six of the jerkers, and thus the cOntaglon
commenced 10 the latter place. Our nior'
mant was present at several of their meetings
10 Avoca, and describes the scenes as very
excItlEg. From fifty to a hundred were
Jerking at the same time. Their hands,
shoulders. feet and heads, would be violently
thrown into the most groterque and apparently
painful shapes. The women's bonuetr would
hy of, their hair become disheveled, and in
some instances snap like whip. In some
Instances it attacked unbeievers in it, and
unconvcrtcd men who tried to resist it by
folding treir arms and wrapping them tight
ly around their bodies, but in spite Of them
selves. their shoulders, first one and then the
other, would be j"rked back, till they lost all
control Of themselves"
