doal.
Old Ilulrush, Woodlniry, Gin'ord all
foaled on tlio little fannofMr. (JilVord'.i
at Tunbridge. Ileppo was foaled Bon
CtishmanV, old Cnelo Bon's; dam, old
maro by .lustin -Morgan. In 1817, know
ing whero Beppo was from, traeed it ;
found dam llving; got onoof hor eolts by
-Morgan Kaglo.
Morgan Eagle was brod by a man by
tianie of Morgan, of Boyalton; sold to
Spraguo, by him to Farnham. Fanihain
wont to Wisconsin; I have visitcd hhn
thcro; Farnham sold Morgan Kagle to
Foster of Woodstock, who nioved to
Barre, or stood the horso there. Foster
was a stago man at Woodstock. Tho
dam was a modorato sicd bay maro that
paced a little at lirst, then took a good
gait; lookcd liko a Morgan. Old Mr.
Gill'ord said ho thought she was a Ilonry
Dumlas colt; don't know what that was;
somo said he was sired by True Britou.
Blodgctt wcnt wlth Gen. Gin'ord to
the state'falr, Xew York; I sold hhn to
Mason & Monroe. I tlid not know of
Morgan Eagle's going west ; got tlio im-
prosslon that Magna Charta was sired by
Motnitain Eagle that Buckminstcr raisod
at Danville; he wont ovcr to Waterville,
X. V. I sold a eolt liy Gill'ord, from
Beppo s dam, to X. B. liogg, Newark,
I.lckhig Co., Oliio, about 1850 or '51.
Farnham liad a Morgan stallion when
I visitcd liim in WIconsln ; think it was
takcn to liim aftcr lio wont out. Quick
silver was foaled in Walpole; Parsons I
think, bred hhn ; ho was by Dey of Al-
gicrs; golden eliestnut; tlie most ohan-
gcable color of any horso 1 ovor saw. IIo
was a little horse, stout and vory smart.
Quieksilvor was kcpt here, a boss liorse
for trottcrs, when I was a boy; sired
somo of the most spirited and best trot
tcrs that have ovcr beenhore; all trot
tcrs; all kind; one of thom, tlio Titus
maro, trottod les than tlireo lninutos iu
1S20 to '.'iO. Quieksilvor was kcpt at Wal
pole a long tlino by Josiali Bellows 2nd:
his son Cliarlos told mo Quieksilvor got
I'liu'iilx; told it asccrtain. I bought ono
of I'luonlx's colt of Blodgctt; gavo him
a balo of bull'alo robos; Blodgctt was a
stago nian. Charlcs Bellows told mo
when ho came vislting tliat I'hiontx was

bred him, bnt I have forgotten. rh(c-
nix was a migiity prctty gray witli line
tail and good carriago; lookod liko Quiek
silvor stock; strong fanilly re-cinblaiieo:
Blodgctt said he was liy Quieksilvor;
liotter linish than Mossongor; no Moson-
gcr ever acted liko liim. I nover found a
Messcngor yot but had awkward placcs
iu hhn. Blodgctt livod iu Boyalton. Th(,
Vanco hor.-e was a gray horso; I liavo
licoii to Vanco's liouso, but tho liorse was
not thcro.
Old Bulrush was a Iong-gaited horso
for a Morgan ; came of a Fronoh niare;
Belknap said so aud so did old Mr. Gif-
ford, who tradod with Belknap for hor
whon in foal. Bulrusli was foaled
GifTord's, but ho rolurned Ihe eolt.
Vermont Morgan was rai.-ed in Spring
lleld by I.ockwood; ho was by tbe Bar
nard IIoie; tbe old nian's liorse was a
bay horso; Barnard a oliost
nut. Tlie dam of Barnard Morgan wa
sired by Bouaparte. before spoken of.

THE ORIGINAL MORGAN.
INTERVIEW WITH CHAS. MORGAN, ESQ.
Charlcs Morgan,Esij.,of Boehoster, Vt.,
is a son of .lustin Morgan, Jr., late of
Stockbridge. Vt., who was the only son
of Justln Morgan, who brought tlie orig
inal iiorso of tliat naino to liandolph.
Mr. Morgan, who is a gentleman of large
means and an extonsivo dealer in wool
and hops, both in this rogion and tho
West, has been tho owner of sovoral ox
colloiit di'scondants of liis grand-fatlier's
fanious horso, and wants no other road
ster blood. In a recont convoiation,
lio says :
"1 havo ofton lieard my fatlior say that
tho Morgan Ilor-o wa lirst o callod on
Jiine Training day of his secoud scason
of stud M'rvieo, whon he was llvo yoars
old. IIo did not liavo nmcll patronago
tlio lirst year. All .-tock hores woro out
for sliow at June Training: other own
er laughed at Morgan's "I)uck log," as
they callod hhn, until Mr, Morgan linally
oll'ered to bet all tho nioiioy lio had (about
150) tliat hi horso could out-i'iin, out
trot, out-walk or out-draw any other
stock liorse prcscut. The bet was takon
for that or a sinaller suni, and they chose
runnliig, not thiuking tliat tho little short
loggcd horse could ruu. Thoy wont out
on thc road towards East liandolph and
ran into tlie village of Bamlolph Ceutre,
to a mark noar the nieethig-house. Mor
gan rodo liis liorse iu far in advance of
the rest, and the crowd ehoered and
shoutcd "Ilurrah for tho Morgan Ilorsc !"
Morgan oll'orrd to lotlds oppononts try
any of tho oihertests (trotting, walking
or drawing' buttlioy docllncd. Tho horso
was always afterwards known as the
Morgan Horse: ho bocaiuo popular and
had plenty of patrouago after that exhi
bitionV Mr. Morgan ls very positlvc that iils
grandfathcr nevcr had but one stock
liorse aflor eoniing to Vermont: says he
novcr lieard his fatlier mcntioii but one,
or suggost any otlier, and if thero had
beon two Mr. Morgan thinks his fatlior
would liavo known and spoken of tlie
fact. IIo also says that his grand-fath-
er s means wero so slender that It would
bc very iniprobalile tliat he owncd two
stallions in tlio sliort time tliat he lived
ln Vermont.
We think tlioro Is no doubt but that,
tho I'igure liorse and the Justln Morgan
woro the saiue. All tlie testlmony thus
far got by us polnts uiKpialillcdly to tliat
concluaion, and is pcrhaps strong onough
to hang a man. We prcsumc we shall
got a gool doal nioro yct pointing tlie
saino way ; for we noticc In these pcdi
grce mattcrs, as in all tlilugs olso, the
trutii, if permittcd, will iinfold until it
shines wlth the clcarest liglit.
It lias iiecii our opiniou from tlie flrst
secing of tho Figuro Ilorso advortlsemont
tliat lio was the origlnal Morgan Ilorso.
Ilis "boauty, strengtli iind activity'' dc
scribos the Morgan horso. Then this al
lowed for the gonerally recoived faet tliat
Morgan rodo his lmr.-o around as a sing
ing master and otherwiso. IIo oouldn't
ride his hoio if he wasu't old eiiough to
ridc. X'oithor could Mr. Kvans, or any
body eUe,pull iogs with him if lio wasn't
old OllQllgll to )llll tliom.
By tlio records of tho ctntelt is provcd
tliat Mr. Morgan dld not own tlio liorse
at his doath. A'e think it is certain that
lio was got by Mr. Wm. Itlce of Wood
stock, about 1705-0, aud wont from hhn
to Jonathan Shepord of Montpolicr, who
sold him to Jamos llawkins at tlio time
lio bought Mr. llawkins farm, wliich the
town records sliow was Fob. 14, 1707.

Cnntlnued.
It is sjx iniles lrom Slioiohain village
to Larraijee'- I'oint, opiioslto tho old fort
grounds at Ti. We paed a number of
llno resiilcucos, for tlie country is fortlle
and tlie farmers ricli.
From Mr. Elmor .lono, now an old
man pat 80, wo got somo infoniiatiou.
IIo .-aid tliat lio raied IMophet. Ile
callod him 15-2, 1000 II)-., foaled 1817;
and otherwise repeatod previous bistory.
I'cd Jaeket lio thought vory stylisli;
nioro liko tlio Morgans than Prophet
Propliet took baek moro to Sir Charlcs
not iuite .-o fast as l'rojihct.
Davkl Hill's lirst horse, Aurelius, was
a vory lazy Iiorso.
Sir Charlcs liad a log brokeu; slick
bay hore, 10 hands. vory faneV, got
good stock.
Think Allen Sinith's Liberty was got
by King AVilliant, n horso brought in by
Col. 1oolittle. Doolittle had King Wil
liain befoii; lio had l'ost Boy. Dr. X'ccd-
ham had a small bav maro bv King Wil-
liani. This King William got line small
bay tock, very lhely aud smart. l'ost
Boy a red roan. The BMiop's Horso's
toek not thought o liiuch of; hoads
wero large.
Felton Ilorso was bred by Ben Breed,
Crown I'oint. Guos he sold him to
Wickcr of Ti ; then he wont to Diko Mor-
rick, and he sold to Felton at 1100.
Boauty, raugy ; trotter; high bred.
Breed Ilorso bred by Foster Breed;
black, 15 hands, 1000 lbs., stocky, good
horso.
We callod, also, before reaching tlie
lake, upon Mr. Larrabec, 82 yoars old,
and a hospitublc a man as wo havo niet
in all our travels. AVc wanted to ask
him about a colt said to havo bccn bred
by Judgo .lohn I-arrabee. IIo rcmcni
liorod well a vory llno bay stallion colt,
brod by Mr. I.arrabee, that ho was of
forcd a very high price for, for tliose
davs. whona stiokor; thought afterwards
it died or somcthing happened to it.
Didn't reinembor tlie blood, but linally
suggostod it niiglit liave been Hambleto
nian. It was. about 1820. To tho pies
tiou if Allon Sniith didn't got this colt,
he thought lio niiglit, but eouldn't tell.
At tho ferry wo took down podlgreo

Lake Champlain, tliat lor 100 iniles
forni tho boundary line botweon A or

somcthing lo than a niilo wido. It be

North of tliose coines a broad oxpauso of

As a whole, wo bolieve there is no lako
