A BITTER EXPERIENCE.
The Misfortunes of Couple OF Maine
Hunters.

Martin DAILY and George Cutler, two young
men OF Bangor, left that city Oct. oath for the
Aroostook wilderness on hunting and fishing
excursion. They returned day or two ago and
relate an interesting story of terrible expert
ence in the woods They were all right until
late in November, when heavy snow hemmed
them in, and they went to take up their traps
They got their feet wet on Mansawgan Lake
and before they reached camp the feet OF both
men were frozen. They reached camp in an
exhausted state after terrible journey on the
frozen overlooked lakes Later, while on the
Aroostook river, as Mr.. Cutler was loading his
rifle, cartridge exploded and both his eyes
We're filed with powder, rendering the untor-
tunate man entirely sightless. The next day
the two sportsmen set out for Ok Bow, small
settlement on the Aroostook river, and DAILY
was obliged to lead Cutler eight miles through
the woods with stick, each taking one path
of the double. ''tote road" The two reached
Bangor after four days travel. and by the aid
of physician Cutters eyesght was saved, al
though he will always bear the marks OF the
powder. Mr. Cutler is q son OF Hon. John
Cutler, President of the Maine Senate.

Resignation Of Col. White.

Col. Daniel White, commanding Second
Regiment Infantry, M. V. M, has rendered
his resignation. COL White has been in tie
army and State militia for over twenty years.
He first entered the Second Maine Volunteers
as captain and afterwards joining the Thirty
first Regiment Maine Volunteers as captain
was promoted to colonel and brevet brigadier
general for faithful and meritorious services
in the war. After the close of the war he
raised and organized the Jameson Guards and
was elected captain. Afterwards he was pro-
noted to lieutsnant-oolonel of the First Regi-
ment, M. V. NJ, and was in command of that
regiment during the trying times of 1879 and
1880. On the reorganization of the militia in
1880 he was elected colonel of the Second Reg
inent, M. " M, which Office he resigned
early in 1881. At an election of that regiment
in August, 1881. he was unanimously re-elect-
ed colonel and has held the position up to the
present time with credit to himself and honor
to the regiment. COL White has been very
efficient officer and has ever manifested deep
and jealous interest in military affairs. His
voluntary retirement from the service will be
much regretted.

PORTLAND DIRECTORY : 1883

The canvass for the PORTLAND DIRECTORY for
1883 has been commenced, and the publishers take
this occasion to thank the citizens and business
of Portland for the generous patronage given them
last year. and for the courtesy and aid extended to
the canvassers in their work. The rapid sale of the
copies Of the Directory not subscribed for, and the
many calls for 1t since, shows that the publishers
not i,taken in their belief that city of the
size aud enterprise of Portland needed and would
readily and generously sustain yearly issue of the
same. They hope to make the Directory for this
year more complete and valuable than the last and
to this end respectfully solicit continuance of the
aid of our citizens in the way of advertising and
subscriptions, and especially by kindly assisting the
nen in their canvass at houses and places of bust
ness, as the value OF directory is its correctness
and they cannot make it so without such help.
DB be particular to get your correct number from
the City Civil Engineer, and have it placed upon
your door.
