Singular Costumes of Scandinavians-..

An Edinburgh paper says;
The peculiar dress and antiquated

attracted considerable attention from
all who witnessed their disembarka-

and number of children, the major.

aud more mountainous part of Norway.
The emigrants of both sexes were tall
and well-proportioned and healthy
looking, with features not unlike those
most familiar along the Northern sea-
coas. of Scotland The dress
Of the women consists of skirts Of
strong fabric, gathered into a band
placed round the body under the arm
pits, and suspended from the shoulders
by braces. Their arms and shoulders
are only protected from the weather by
loose "body" of white calico. The
skirts reach only to the knee, and black
open work stockings, with low shoes
turned up and pointed at the toes, and
a head-dress consisting of a little
shawl twisted into a turban, complete
the costume. The men wore long
boots, trowsers seated and kueed with
leather, and the waists continued up
to the armpits, jackets ornamented
with buttons in front, but so short that
they scarcely covered the shoulder
blades, and felt hats.
These emigrants are principally farm
ers, and their destinations are Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, and other parts of the
Lake District Although their dress
and that of their families excited some
little establishment, yet in many as
poets it is far more sensible and gro
