The Morgan Horse has recently

possession of Mr.. Justin Morgan, ID
schoolmaster in Vermont. In the

much sought after that in the year

ed to Mr.. Linsley, an innabitant of
the same State. According to this
authority, the founder of the family,
or strain, was sired by a horse called
True Briton,' which was said to
have been stolen, and whose pedigree
is therefore doubtful. Mr.. Linsley
endeavors to prove. however, that he
was son OF the English thorough
bred Traveller, which he assumes to
be identical with the son of Partner,
known as Mortons Old Traveller.
giving as his authority a pedigree
inserted in the Albany Cultivator of
1S43. The same authority is also
adduced to prove that the dam Of
True Briton aud also of Justin
Morgan's s horse were of nearly pure
English blood. and that the latter
was descended from the famous
"Cub" mare; but the facts adduced
seem of the most doubtful natures
and we believe that the Morgan horse

THE ownership of a medical pre-
scription has long been matter of
doubt, both doctors and druggists
claiming it, and bitter personal dig
putes have been occasioned by the
uncertainty. The matter has been
settled by the supreme courts of
New York and Massachusetts,, which
have decided that the physician, in
prescribing, gives the patient q
written order for drugs, and their
delivery terminates the trans
action. The druggist may,
if he chooses, renew the drugs,
as he Is authorized to sell drugs in
any shape, and he is not bound to
give copy of the prescription. OF
