Vessel in a Dangerous Position-Warning
to Mariners.
RocKLAND, Aug 8.-A note from Isaac O.
Grant, keeper of White Head light station,
states that yesterday as the fog cleared, the
schooners Brunette of Searsport, and Victory
of Ellsworth, were anchored near the sunken
lodges, Ewest one mile from this station; the
barkentine, Edward Cushing Of Garden, from
Boston for Rockport, was farther on, complete
ly surrounded by breakers The Brunette and
Victory, later in the day, got underweigh and
proceeded, but the barkentine, notwithstaEd-
ing the efforts of her crew, assisted by the
crew of the life-saving station. could not be
extricated from her somewhat perilous position
as the wind breezed up. This morning tues
day. she lies with both anchors ahead, with
just room to swing, and if it holds moderate
will doubtless get out all right when the fog
clears. Masters of vessels approaching White
Head should use great care, as the current and
heave of the sea tends to set them up to this
dangerous bay, among the shoals west from
this station.

The Mount Desert Robbery.
BAR HARBoR, Me-, Aug 8.-The great ex-
element aroused by the daring highway rob-
berry of last week remains unabated. Even
amateur detectives are working up clews. The
popular opinion is that trapeze performer
and company of pugilists are implicated in 1T,
as they left town soon after the affair, but the
police place no reliance upon that report. The
man arrested at Green's Landing proves to be
only famous coast robber and smuggler The
detectives are now narrowly watching half
breed in the township, man of desperate
character, and think they have the right man.

TORISMOUIH, IN. H., aug. Gu tHo onip -
the United States Court of the Mercantile
Trust Company of New York, against the
Portland & Ogdensburg railroad and Messrs.
Spring, Milliken and Webb, trustees, under
mortgages, a separate answer OF the corpora
tion and trustees, has been fled. The answer
of the corporation denies the Portland q Og-
densburg is a corporation chartered by the
laws of New Hampshire, and asserts it is not
a citizen of that State, but is chartered by the
laws of the State of Maine, and authorized to
continue a railroad through New Hampshire
aud that the court he's not jurisdiction OF the
parties defendant nor of the whole mortgaged
property.
The answer further denies complainants are
entitled to the relief sought. The trustees de-
ny that they have been recresnt to their duty
or neglected the interests of the bondholders.
On the contrary they assert the City OF Port
lond held at the time of the default of the
payment of interest Nov. 1, 1871, and since
has held and owned 81, 1,250,0C0 of these bonds
and the city has caused a minute examination
of the affairs of the railway to be made
and that no bondholder had ever requested or
suggested to the truftees any desire that the
mortgage of 1871 be enforced for their benefit
or that the trustees should foreclose and take
possession of the property or interfere with the
railway managers having full controlof the
same.
