    The floor of the old houses were made of mud, and daub, and when there cabins were first erected, all the young boys and girls of the neighbour-hood gathered in and danced all the night so as to harden the floor, and to make it fit for walking on. The cabins were always built in the shelter of a hedge, wood, or valley, just as the hedge-schools were built.
