OUR work on MORGAN HORSES is progress
ing rapidly, but there are yet many horses
that should be entered here whose pedigrees
W. have not received. We want full pedigree
and history of every meritorious stallion
descended in direct male line from Justin
Morgan, with name and residence of the
breeder of such horse and ofthe several dams.
Blanks for this information will be furnished
free by addressing THE REGISTER, Middlebury,
VT No fee is required for this registration
1t will be perceived that we are publishing a
large amount of original information on trot-
ting pedigrees, and historical matter on the
early horses of this country, which can not be
obtained elsewhere; and we recommend to
our patrons to PRESERVE THEIR FILES OF THE
REGISTER, as they will form, with the full in.
dexes thereto, most valuable and available
cyclopeda upon these matters. An index
will also be supplied for the Literary Depart
ment.

grandfather never had but one stock
horse after coming to Vermont: says he
never heard his father mention but one,
or suggest any other, and if there had
been two Mr.. Morgan thinks his father
would have known and spoken of the
fact. He also says that his grand-fath-
er's means were so slender that it would
be very improbable that he owned two
stations in the short time that he lived
in Vermont.
We think there is no doubt but that
the Figure Horse and the Justin Morgan
were the same. All the testimony thus
far got by us points unqualifiedly to that
conclusion, and is perhaps strong enough
to hang man. We presume we shall
get a good deal more yet pointing the
same way; for we notice in these pedi-
gree matters, as in all things else, the
truth, if permitted, will unfold until it
shines with the clearest light.
1t has been our opinion from the first
seeing of the Figure Horse advertisement
that he was the original Morgan Horse.
His 'beauty, strength and activity de-
scribes the Morgan horse. Then this al
lowed for the generally received fact that
Morgan rode his horse around as sing
ing master and otherwise. He couldn't
ride his horse if he wasn't old enough to
ride. Neither could Mr.. Evans, or any
body else,pull logs with him if he wasn't
old enough to pull them.
BY the records of the estate it is proved
that Mr.. Morgan did not own the horse
at his death. We think it is certain that
he was got by Mr.. VIM. Rice of Wood
stock, about 1896, and went from him
to Jonathan Sheperd of Montpelier, who
sold him to James Hawkins at the time
he bought Mr.. Hawkins farm, which the
town records show was Feb. IA, 1797.-

THE ORIGINAL MORGAN.

Charles Morgan. Esq. of Rochester, VT,
is son of Justin Morgan. Jr., late of
Stoclibridge. VT, who was the only son
of Justin Morgan, who brought the orig
inal horse of that name to Randolph.
Mr.. Morgan, who is gentleman of large
means and an extensive dealer in wool
and hops, both in this region and the
West, has been the owner of several eX-
cellent descendants of his Srand-father's
famous horse, and wants no other road
ster blood. In Il recent conversation,
he says
IL have often heard my father say that
the Morgan Horse was first SO called ON
june Training day of his second season
of stud service, when he was five years
old. He did not have much patronage
the first year. All stock horses were out
for show at June Training: other own
ers laughed at Morgan's 'Duck leg" as
they called him, until Mr.. Morgan finally
offered to bet all the money he had (abOut
Sl50) that his horse could out-run, out
stock horse present. The bet was taken
for that or Il smaller sum, and they chose
running, not thinking that the little short
legged horse could run. They went out
on the road towards East Randolph and
ran into the village of Randolph Centre,
to a mark near the Westinghouse. Nor
gan rode his horse in far in advance of
the rest, and the crowd cheered and
shouted "lIurrah for the Morgan Horse ~
Morgan offered to let his opponents try
any of the other tests (trotting, walking
or drawing, but they declined. The horse
was always afterwards known as the
Morgan Horse; he became popular and
had plenty of patronage after that eNhi-
bition'.'
Mr.. Morgan is very positive that his

Clifford with me. "There is Fanny's ia

him.
In 1857 met the general at Cincinnati;
he told me that Mr.. Field and Mr.. Orcutt
looked it up. +. Simmonds told him she
was a Morgan and he knew all about it.
Mr.. Weir is positive that the Figure
Horse and old Justin Morgan were the
same. He knows Morgan travelled about
with the Justin from place to place. Old
Mr.. Matthew Allen said to me the first
time he ever saw the GOss Horse was down
at Lebanon; that Morgan had him there
himself. Mr.. Allen owned Morgan Rob-
in, lived at Guildhall, formerly at ST.
Johnsbury, to which place he moved 1900

Gossip is presumably an hered

Gossip is presumably an heredi
tary right in small places but the
quest ion often suggests itself, do
the long tongued members of a
community realize the harm they
DO and pursue their vocation out
of pure venom or is it unconcious
on their part? How many people
are unhappy and how many homes
broken up by the lynn tongue Of
the village gossip. What does it
mater if Mrs. Jones has a new
gown? that does not warrant Mrs.
smith in saying that Mrs J. is put
ting on airs, that her husband owes
for his bread and butter, that she
should be out scrubbing floors in
stead of gadling about. The move
nents of Mrs. j. or what she wears
or when she got it is none of Mrs.
SIS business; AMI she has no right
90 ventilate her opinions in a way
that brings discredit upon an inno-
cent party. If the mischief ended
there it would not be so bad but
Mrs Brown takes it up and gives
not only a garbled account of what
Mrs. Smith said but gives it with
her own variations and in a little
while Il perfectly harmless thing
bccoms a grave oliense and the in
nocent cause is nea riy distracted.
If Mrs. Jones is decently polite to
a gentleman Mrs. Smith wags her
head and tongue, looks wise and
darkly hints at unutterable things,
and in little while the dear NOR
al community looks askance at
Mrs. }, cut her acquaintance and
the air is rife with reports that a
decent woman would blush to hear.
and the chances are nincty-nine
out hundred that an honest re-
spectacle woman is frowned down
upon for what? nothing at all !; but
people don't stop TO think. They
repeat what they hear and then
add to the story and never consid-
er that envy, malice or hatred
may have been the sole cause of a
scandal. If the people of small
places would devote more time to
improving their minds by good
solid reading, and attend strictly
to their own private business, the
social and business life in minor
towns would be far happier. Peo-
pie as class would be more con
tent, envy would have less place,
heart burnings and discord would
be less frequent, and a clean and
healthier tone supplant the miser-
able existence of the average coun-
try town.
