Weehcbaft—The town of Frankfort
Perry county Illinois, is greatly excited
over what the citizens regard as a clear
case of witchcraft, recently developed
in that vicinity. Two young ladies, the
daughters of James Williams, are the
victims. It has ; been thought by the
neighbors for some time post that some
thing was wrong with the girls, and a
few days ago a physician was called to
visit them. He failed to discover the
difficulty.. Since that time immense
crowds have visited the girls, averaging
from fifty to one hundred each night.
They are perfectly sane during the day
but at the approach of night they be
come frensied and uncontrollable, per
forming feats that would put first-class
acrobats to shame. Scaling the house
