State Journal There is a small town
in this State about ten miles north of
Neenah called Little Chute, which is in
habted by queer class of people, who
are, in fact, world by themselves
They are Dutch colony that settled
there over forty years ago. Some of
them are engaged in farming, but the
majority of them make their living by
manufacturing wooden shoes. They are
not ambitious to become rich. All they
care for is to make money enough to
provide for their families and live up to
their customs, which consist of going
to church and celebrating several times
a year their different feasts by what is
known as three-days dance. They
always celebrate three days just before
Lent commences, as the inhabitants
are all Catholics. Last Monday the
people of the place gathered at the vii
lage hall and dance was commenced.
They have peculiar ways of dancing.
All their dances take place in the day
time, as they do not believe in dancing
at night. The wooden shoes manu-
featured there are shipped to New York.

Bloomington Record: Last Wednesday
evening our village came near witness
ing a sight it has never yet witnessed, a
fire. The infant fire started in the sit
| ting room of Falc. Woodhouse while
no one was at home. 1t is supposed
that the wood in the stove fell against
the door and pushed it open, the wood
falling onto the floor and setting the
carpet on fire. 1t is not known how
long the fire was burning but was dis
covered at six o'clock when it had
burned the carpet, a part of the floor
and the sleepers under the floor. The
damage was covered by insurance.

dence of her daughter, Mrs. S. Chilson.
