HASTINGS BUDGET.

The winter term Of Court began here
last Tuesday. We have jury which it is
believed are quite competent to meet all
the requirements Of the law so far as GRIM
inal cases are concerned
This reminds me of story related Of = ju-
ryman in former Court at Hastings. Gen.
German was one of the counsel and was
testing juryman's previous knowledge Of
the case by series Of questions, to all Of
which the innocent juror replied, '' don't
know, sir" At length the General asked,
care you member of this jury?'' and
met with the inevitable response, g I don't
know, sir. If you don't believe this ask
Judge Mcclure.
have taken the pains to find out about
what articles and how many have been
manufactured in Hastings during 1873, aud
have the following as result: John Bate
man has made one hundred and thirty-fve
plows, twenty harrows, eighteen cultiva-
tors and eighteen shovelplows, nearly the
entire stock being sold out. Besides this,
he has put about four hundred new lays on
old plows and done general repairing and
blacksmithing. John Estergreen has man
ufactured about one hundred and twenty
wagons, three buggies and carriages, sixty
five pairs of bob sleighs, and eighteen cut
ters. D. Becker is the author Of sixty
wagons, buggies, carriages and the same
number of sleds and cutters. James Morse
runs large repairing and blacksmithing
sLop and does considerable new work;
twenty wagons and thirty five sleds
work. can say from experience that Mr..
Morse used to make a frst-class wagon,
and no doubt does yet A. B. Tyrrel is
manufacturer of tanning mills and milk
safes; one hundred aud twenty-five fan
ming mills and one hundred milk safes were
turned out of his shop last year. The Bell
Brothers run an immense furniture estab-
lishment, making everything house needs
in the furniture line and a good deal more.
I am informed on good authority that they
do 100000 business.
This makes 210 wagons, 178 sleds and
cutters, 80 buggies and carriages, 1856
plows. $1,000 worth of harrows, 18 cultiva-
| tors, and the same number Of shovelplows,
and 1875 tanning mills that have been man.
ufactured in Hastings in 1878.
| Half million dollars worth Of wheat is
stored in the warehouses in Hastings at the
present writing.
| The church trial Of Mrs. Adams is still
in progress at the NJ. E. Church.
The NJ. E. Church spent the week before
last in an ardent effort to get somebody in
| to the Church, and failing Of that they used
last week in jealous attempt to get some
body out. Haven't succeeded as yet
1t is astonishing how the newspapers sell,
that publish the scandal. The St. Paul pa
pers that published the Pettibone-A Adams
affair can't be supplied fast enough to sat-
isfy starving public.
On Tuesday last the wheat buyers had a
regular row. and the strangest of it is the
row was about load of wheat and not
about the Adams Pettibone affair
We had another small burglary affair
last Sunday night. 1t was Hetherington g.
Burnsides' turn this time
There were $50 births, and 1913 deaths in
Dakota County last year.
Milo and Dock were ours of renown, who
never could let one another alone 80 they
fought in the street as dogs only would,
over nothing at allbut dry Petty-bone.
The Board Of Co. Commissioners voted
temporary relief to % poor persons; $3.50
gone thatway.
