Nov. 16.—Last night at 5 o'clock during a severe snowstorm the propeller Fred Mercur, of the Lcddgh VnlleyLine, with a cargo of coal bound from Buffalo to Chicago, went-ashore about a quarter of a mile east of the flash| light. As soon as she struck Captain Pope blew for a tug. The tug Erie went out to her assistance, but on account of the terrible sea was unable to do anything. Captain Pope then scuttled the Mercur and she now lies easy on a sandy beach. The sea has gone down some and unless the wind should blow strong from the north or northeast she will not be in great danger. She lies imbedded in about four feet of sand. Captain Henry, Superintendent of the Lehigh Valley Line, will arrive from Buffalo at 4. o'clock this afternoon, and will take steps for her release. Captain Pope says that if the old land light had not been discontinued he would not have gone ashore. He could not jreached this port, where she now lies.
