TIMELY A1D.-On the morning of the 25th
inst, the English schooner Parrot Hutton
master, got ashore at high water on ledge OF
rocks near Herring Gut, SO that she lay in a
very bad position; could walk around her at
low water, nearly broadside on. The United
States steamer Dallas, Capt. c. I. Chase, in
crossing east saw her, sent an officer and men
with tackles and lines, and at high water in
the afternoon succeeded 10 hauling her off and
towed her into Herring Gut, where she will re-
pair. The schooner would have been total
loss had she not been got eff at that time, as
there was heavy sea running.

MAINE CENrRAL.-The regular monthly
meeting of the directors of the Maine Contra
Railroad was held at the Falmouth yesterday
afternoon. Nearly all of the directors were
present. General Manager Hatch and Solicl-
tor Moves were in attendance. Little was done
beyond routine business 1t was finally voted
to remove the offices to this city, but no def
mite time was fixed when it should be done. 1t
was understood among the directors that it
would be better to build offices for the compa-
nv rather than rent building. Nothing was
done respecting the reduction of tariffs, but
there is an impression that it rs the policy of
the General Manager and majority OF the
Board to make special rates for parties Offering
large amounts of business, particularly through
business which will of course go ever the East
ern. The most of the directors went home last
evening. MI. Woodbridge and the General
Manager will 60 to Bath this morning, and
perhaps over the Knox & Lincoln.
