NATHAN HALE.

The commission charged with the erection of 8 statue to Nathan Hale, the Re7olutionaiy y martyr, expect soon to receive the completed studies of sculptors and to be able to place the statue in position before the next meet ing of the General Assembly.
 It was the design of the projectors of this magnificent building to adorn it's inches and embellish its walls with the statues and por- traits of those whose conspicuous part in this commonwealth's history entities their memory to be so perpetuated.
 Judicious appropriations from time to time should be made. so that each year may contribute toward the completion of their admirable plan. Such memorial honors should be paid not only to our heroes and statesmen, but to those also who, by eminent learning. enterprise or invention, have added to the prosperity and fame of the State and like recognition should be given to our pub lic bsnefactors, one of whom gave in his life time munihcent sum, and, at his death, added to it fortune, for the establishment at Yale college of a Scientific department for the youth of the country for all time to come

MILITARY MATTERS.

The military commutation tax, amounting to one hundred and four thousand eight hun dred and fourteen dollars ($104, ,814, ,OOO), but for the ten per cent reduction now allowed by law, would come within six thousand dol. lars of meeting the aggregate current military expenses.
 NATIONAL GUARD The National Guard, under the command of Brigadier General Stephen B. Smith. comprises two thousand three hundred and ninety-one (2, 2,391) officers and men. For the first time since it's organ ization, the entire brigade was encamped on the State grounds at Niantic, from Septem- Der 10th to the 18th, inclusive. Its dlsci- pline, drill and appearance elicited the approv- al of officers Of the regular army and other military visitors, and were, as appears by his report, in every way satisfactory to the adjutant general of the State. Seventeen hundred and twenty-five officers and men of the brigade took part in the military parade in New York commemorsting the evacuation of that city by the British at the close of the Revolutionary wa-. Their bearing and de- pertinent as soldiers and gentlemen, on that occasion, deserved the plaudits they received from spectators and the honorable mention made in the general orders of the comman- der in chief.
 STATE MEMORIES. public act of 1882 concerning armories provides that in every town in which two or more companies are located suitable armory accommodations may be built or purchased by commission, consisting of the governor, the adjutant gen. eral, and the quartermaster general of the State, and sppropriates two hundred thous- and dollars to meet the expenditure. Under this authority, ninety thousand dollars has been expended in building armories at Ne v Haven, and ten thousand dollars in purchas- ing sites at Bridgeport and New London. The present commission, Rpprehensive that the balance will be insufficient to build the six other armories contemplated by the stat ute, have concluded to await your action be- fore taking any steps in the matter.

Theory of Life.

The late Professor Faraday adopted the theory
that the natural age of man is 100 years. The
duration of life he believed to be measured by the
foaz5 TWO; m the ra6Dft at one.
The natural termination is five removes from
these several points.
Man being twenty years in growing lives five
times twenty years-that is, 100; the camel is
eight years in growing, and lives forty years:
and so with other animals. The man who does
not die of sickness lives everywhere from so to
100 years. The professor divides life into equal
halves-growth and decline-and these into in
fancy, youth, virility, and age. Infancy extends
to the twentieth year, youth to the fftieth, be-
cause it is in this period the tissues become firm
virility from fifty to seventy-fve, during which
the organism remains complete, and at seventy
i've old age commences to last longer or shorter

4NOTHER BERKSHIRE MURDER.
A New Marlboro Young Wan Uses RAfs
 Father Mother TOT a Target.

Stephen H. Whitmore, g, shot his father, Samuel P. Whitmore, in New Marlboro about two and a half miles north of the Center, Saturday night. The shot entered the collar-bone, passed through the right lung and lodged in the shoulder blade. The physicians say that there is hardly any hope of Whitmore's recovery, as he Is 65 years old and the wound Is Il severe one. There has been a consultation of doctors and at last accounts they had not been able to get out the ball. Young Whitmore had been drinking heavily of liquor which his father had brought home from New Boston and he finally lay down on the floor and seemed to be asleep. He afterward reused up and asked for more liquor and his mother brought him some. He then challenged his father, who had also been drinking, to go out and wrestle. The old man refused to go and then Stephen took out revolv- CT and began to shoot at him. The old man said he was not much of shot If he could not hit his man. Then the son took deliberate aim and fired. The old man went out of the house and lay down grooming. The son then shot twice at his mother and did not succeed in hitting her. She ran into another room and Stephen shot ball through the door which came near hitting her. The neighbors heard the shooting and when they learned the result they sent to Mill River for Deputy Sheriff Adams, who came up and arrested young Whit more and lodged him in the lookup. He was brought before the district court of Great Harrington yesterday and bound over in S2OOO, and taken to the Pitts field jail The affair creates no little excitement in New Marlboro and the adjoining towns, as the shooting appears to have been unprovoked and no excuse is given except that young Whitmore was drunk and simply wished to amuse himself by shooting his revolver off to to see how near he could come to his father and mother. The family with the possible exception of the mother appear to be hard set. While they were at court the wounded man was left alone. The woman claimed she could not find any one to stay with him. The son said that two young men call ed that day for whisky and cider and that they got into a dispute, and as he went to shoot one of them he hit his father. The mother in her testimony denied this story.-Sprinqfeld RepubH- cgIn
