The following paragraphs we clip from the traveling correspondence of the Milwaukee Sentinel.

Scandinavia, at the head of White Lake, is 6 miles from Ogdensburgh, and in the midst of an industrious and enterprising class of Norwegians whose settlement extends up the valley to the distance of about 20 miles. Excellent fish abound in the Lake, and are easily taken. Messrs. Pouse & Anderson are erecting a Gristmill here on a branch of the Little Wolf, with three run of stone, which will be completed the coming season, and will cost about $5,000. Excellent mill sites may be obtained of these gentlemen on reasonable terms. A Post Office has been established there within the last three weeks, and Mr. Thomas Keough appointed Postmaster. Two or three subscribers to the Sentinel were obtained here while stopping to warm, among the intelligent Scandinavians.
