Wilmington MechGnics.-We suggest to the
mechanics OF the city of Wilmington, says the
editor ofthe Peninsular News, If thrown out OF
ployment by the present state of the money
market, to move down into Sussex county
At Laurel, six miles from the terminus Of the
Delaware Railroad, there are. houses to rent,
work to be done, good schools, and an inteui-
gent, economical, industrious and enterprising
community. House carpenters, blacksmiths,
plasterels, farm hands, wood choppers, shoe
makers, tailors, Sc., can find immediate en-
ployment and good wages in various parts Of
Sussex, where there is u fine opportunity for
purchasing and improving land. Wilmington
mechanics would be received in Sussex with
open arms. Let the times be as hard as they
may, no honest man, woman or child will ever
suffer for bread in Sussex as long rs there is
bread in the county and their necessities
known. A Sussex county farmer would ride
miles through storm and night, even ut the
bare mention Of u human being suffering for
cd or clothing. We extend an invitation to
workmen of the city oil Wilmington to come
down Into Sussex, aud assure them that by a
few years Of industry and economy they may
become landholders, and make themselves IN
dependent OF the fluctuations of the money
market.
