Springfield, December 16. . . The people in the western part
of this state, who stile themselves Shaking Quakers, and who
suppose they, and they only, have discovered the true mode
of worship, have of late (it is said) utterly disclaimed the
use of any kind of garment when engaged in their religious
exercises; presenting themselves unpolluted by the vain and
unchristian articles of dress, and performing all their
dancing, turnings, jumpings, tumblings, twistings and
wrigglings, in that condition.
