VERMONT HORSES We learn from undoubted
authority that MIR. Neerng, OF Orwell. while in
town on Saturday last sold his Black Hawk colt,
addison, six years old, to Messrs. Pierce and
Penn, OF Belleville, illinois, for five Thousand
dollars. This horse il Of a beautiful black color
large in size, of fine form and graceful action
Though he is not one Of the fastest Of the Black
Hawks, still he trots three-minute gait with

purposes. The high prices that have been paid
for best breeds of horses, within the past few
years should stimulate all our breeders TO breed
from the very best of our stock IL costs no more
to raise a good colt than il does 20 raise a poor
one.-B ErliHgtoa Free Press.
