The New Railroad.

Wilmer Emory. Esq, counsel for the
Queen Anne aud Lewes Railroad was in
Lewes last week and reports that the
work on the new line is progressing rap
idly. About 800 men are employed in
the construction. Eleven and one.half
miles of track have been laid from
Queenstown to within one aud half
miles of Queen Anne. All the contrac-
tors and sub-contractors have coucentra
ted their forces in and around Queen
Anne. The contractor who has been
grading from Greenwood in Delaware to
the Maryland line has completed his
contract and is now working IN Maryland
toward the town of Denton. The work
on the bridge across the Choptank at
Denton will be begun on Monday. The
bridge will be 1900 feet long aud the
government requires draw of 6s feet in
length. By August first the railroad will
be completed 10 Greenwood. Mr.. Emory
will be in Lewes the first of the coming
week, aud will endeavor to make terms,
with the laud owners through which the
road passes, for the right of way to the
terminal point at Lewes. The building
of the road is now assured and the people
in this community should assist so far as
possible in giving a generous support to
the project.

FREDERICK.

A new industry has sprung up in our
town. Capt Waitman Supple has opened
shoe manufacturing establishment on
Market street, in the store recently occupied
by Mr. Robert Reynolds. Machinery has
been put in with a capacity for making six
hundred dozen pairs OF shoes day; but at
present only from forty to fifty dozen pairs
will be made. Should the venture prove a
success the building will be enlarged and
employment given to a large number of
persons now idle. 1t should undoubtedly
be a success, as it is the only concern of
the kind in the State south of Wilmington,
and rents and labor are to be had cheaper
in the small towns than in the cities. Also
transportation facilities via steamer Fred
erica are excellent Operations will begin
as soon as the necessary preparations are
made. Mr.. Harry Williams will assist in
the new business Mr.. Sipple has the well
wishes of the community for the prosperity
of the enterprise He is a capable business
man and will employ efficient help.
