The Stamp Collecting Mania.

The mania for collecting postage stamps
seems to be gaining more ground than
ever in France. Among the most famous
collectors in France is a man who has
over 1000, 900 postage stamps preserved
in 1870 richly bound volumes. and another
who keeps two clerks employed in CLASH
flying and arranging his enormous col
lection. Added to this, there are in
Paris about $50 wholesale firms en-
ployed in the trade, and one of the best
known of these has lately offered from
500 to $40 for certain stamps of the year
1886. Tuscan postage stamps dated be-
fore 1860 will be paid for at the rate of
So each, while stamps from Mauritius for
the year 1S47 fetch $50, and French
stamps of 1s49 are quoted at Il each.-

Count Beust collected all the carica-

PILGRIM MORGAN,
AN OLD ADVERTISEMENT OF HIM,

AN OLD ADVERTISEMENT OF HIM.
This horse, so well known in Vermont,
will stand the coming season for the use
of mares, commencing on the first day
of May and ending in July, at the fol
lowing stands:
The stock of this horse is universally
known throughout the northern part of
Vermont and it is hardly necessary to
repeat their merits for seller of horses.
1t is only necessary to establish the fact
that his horse was sired by Pilgrim Nor
gan and he meets with ready sale at
good prices and the purchasers are more
than satisfied. 1t has been stated by
those who have improved the opportunity
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1886-12-31

of this horse, and cannot with propriety
be contradicted, that there has never
been a stock horse in this section that
has proved as generally useful as the
Pilgrim Morgan stock. They always
excite the admiration of strangers. The
above remarks are particularly made for
those at a distance who have never had
an opportunity of seeing the horse or his
stock. TO those who have the Pilgrim
Morgan stock need no praise.
Pedigree-Pilgrim Morgan was sired
by the Dubois horse, so-called, who was
sired by the celebrated Sherman Morgan,
the sire of Black Hawk The Sherman
Morgan was sired by the original Nor
gan horse. Dam of Pilgrim Morgan was
sired by the old Pilgrim from Black
Prince mare.
Certificates:
We were the owners of the horse
known in Chttenden county as the Du-
bois Morgan for several years before his
death. He was sired by the celebrated
Sherman Morgan (said to be the ire of
Black Hawk ; and the Sherman Morgan
was sired by the original Morgan horse.
The Dubois Morgan was very perfect
and powerful horse of beautiful bay
color, and his stock generally proved
very superior. We are well acquainted
with the horse known as the Pilgrim
Morgan, sired by Dubois Morgan, owned
by V. Adams, Esq, of Milton. The
stock of Pilgrim Morgan has proved eX-
cellent and many of his colts have sold
for high prices.

Enduring Quality of Human Hair.

A remarkable illustration of the endur-

period not less than 3,400 years ago.

Gently met Mr.. Farnsworth at Woodstock
and talked this matter fully over with
him. There seems to be no doubt that
Mr.. Thomson's tracing of Princess was
correct, and that her sire was Andrus'

trace her dam. Mr.. Walace's assertion
that this dam was by Burdick's Engineer
has not yet been supported by a particle
of evidence:

Bennett was intending to return her to

and told Bennett he would take her off
his hands at the price that Densmore
was to have for her, and he took her. |
