To Form Militia Company.

Arrangements are being tnader to organize a state militia company in Rensselaer, and about 72’’ names have already been secured to the muster roll, which has beer*, sent to the Adjutant-General. DrIra M. Washburn has had the matter in hand and will probably be captain of the company, whiebt will be duly organized and officered. The company will consist of about 80 men, and it is estimated, will receive about $1,200 per year. This money, with the consent of the memhers, will be applied toward building an armory and equipping the gymnasium,, which will be a part thereof. State militia are equipped and maintained at State expense and receive pay for drills, rifle practice, etc., and when in service they receive $2 per day, which they also receive when attending the annual encampment. About the only prospective service is the latter and possibly a call occasionally to assist the trusts in subduing labor.
