 sent to Charlestown, Mass., and was kept at Col. Jaques', where he remained 

 ten years. In 1843 he was bought by Solomon Howe, Bridport, Vt., and 

 brought into Bridport, where he was kept two seasons. He was a superior 

 horse ; and when four years old was valued at $1000. His action was good ; 

 he was not fast, but hardy and enduring ; he was old when we first saw him 

 and was foundered". Mr. Howe purchased him of a cousin in Massachu- 

 setts, also named Howe. The "Northern Galaxy", published at Middle- 

 bury, Vt., May 28, 1845, has the following advertisement of Morgan Tiger : 

 "The subscriber would notify all persons who wish to improve their breed 

 of horses that he offers them the services of the noted horse Morgan Tiger, 

 whose stock is so favorably known in this county. He will pass with the 

 Morgan Tiger through Cornwall, Shoreham, Addison and Bridport each week.
