htrroeemcniS.-Th Peninsular Neys is re-
Jo'cihE over the proposed construction of rail
roads IN Sussex, which with the enterprise pro-
Jectrd At Rehoboth and the industries growing
up at Seaford, Milford and Laurel, will make
that County ii says, at no very distant day, the
most prosperous one in the State. 1t predie $
that the Rehobo-h enterprise will bring ten
thousand people to reside there during tie
summer months, and an impetus will thus be
given to all kinds of trade. We hope that the
